The houses contain various 19th and 20th-century sash and casement windows. No. 27 has an early 19th-century modillioned cornice above a 20th-century glazed panelled entrance door. No. 25 displays a continuous double-ogee moulding on two posts and a binding joist. In the roofspace, some widely-spaced arch-braced studwork is visible, indicating the presence of a crownpost roof. The walls were raised and a new roof was constructed in the 18th or 19th century.
