The central entrance is located at No 21, while the entrances at Nos 19 and 23 are flanked by full-height pilasters. The buildings have a brick dentil cornice and a stone cill band that extends below the central five windows, along with a plinth. The roofs are hipped and covered with slate. Each entrance features a six-panel door with a divided fanlight and wooden cases with pilasters. The properties have front lawns.
