Each house has two windows, though number 23 has a bowed, single-window corner, and a three-window return (two being blind) facing Gough Street. Numbers 23, 25-27, 31, and 41-45 slightly project from the street line. The doorways have square heads with pilaster jambs supporting entablature-style heads.

Number 23 has a corner entrance with pilasters, a fanlight, side lights, and a panelled door; the return has a round-arched entrance with pilaster jambs supporting an entablature-style head, a fanlight, and a panelled door. The windows are architraved sash windows. The first-floor windows have pediments and cast-iron balconies. The ground-floor windows of numbers 25-43 have margin lights. The first-floor windows of numbers 29 and 37 have segmental pediments and cast-iron balconies, while the second-floor windows are round-arched with architraves. Number 23 has a stucco modillion cornice and a brick parapet with a stucco band; numbers 25, 27 and 31 have modillion cornices with blocking courses.
