The buildings are constructed of painted brick and feature a Welsh slate roof with three hipped gables at the front, with a diagonal brick ridge stack at the center. They rise to four storeys and have a four-window range. On the left, there are two late 19th-century plain sash windows with cambered heads, and above them are 9/9 and 6/6 sash windows. To the right, there are 20th-century 6/9 horizontal casements. The windows are set within segmental arches and there are storeybands, along with a restored leaded parapet. The shop fronts were added in the 20th century.

At the rear, there are two earlier 17th-century gables with some brick-on-edge infill, various lights and casements, and a sliding sash window in a moulded case. There is also an 18th-century 8/8 sash window on the ground floor. Further gables above feature 18th and 19th-century framing with brick infill and render, as well as a buttress stack. A timber-framed wing is present at the rear.
