Each house has one window per floor, with a central blind window on the upper floors. Round-arched doorways are fitted with fanlights and panelled doors. Recessed sash windows have gauges brick flat arches, and the first floors boast good cast-iron balconies. The interiors remain uninspected. The property includes attached low brick garden walls with cast-iron railings bearing urn finials, as well as gate piers and a gate.
