Nos 61 and 62 on Hythe Hill are 18th century buildings featuring a plastered brick front with a parapet and a wooden cornice adorned with modillions. The structure is two storeys high, topped with tiled roofs and three small hipped gables on the front. The façade includes a three-window range of three-light double hung sash windows with glazing bars, and a notable Venetian window on the upper storey, which is flanked by fluted pilasters and supported by four small brackets. The central entrance is framed by a wooden doorcase that has a modillioned pediment and decorated pilasters.
