The ground floor has a shop front on the right and a brick portion on the left with a recessed sash window lacking glazing bars. A six-panel door is set within a plain frame with a flush head. Number 42 has a single window, with a canted splay bay at the first floor, now without glazing bars, and a wood shop front on the ground floor, featuring a two-light window with glazing bars.
