They have hipped roofs; number 68 has a tiled roof, while number 70 has a slated roof. A central chimney stack rises from the roof. Each house is three storeys high and has one window on each side of a recessed entrance bay. The doorways have square heads, overlights, and 20th-century panelled doors; number 68 features a prostyle portico. The windows are architraved sashes. The first floors have console bracketed cornices, and the windows have glazing bars. Both houses have a recessed rectangular panel on the second floor of the entrance bays. The interiors were not inspected.
