Nos 16 to 22, No 24 (Carlyle's House) and Nos 26 to 34, Cheyne Row, are a group of houses dating from 1708, as indicated by a stone tablet on No. 16. Later alterations have occurred. The buildings are three storeys high, with basements and dormers. Most have three windows, with the exception of No. 28, which has two, and one and a half blank windows. The construction is mainly brown brick, with some stucco on the ground floor. The windows are mostly flush framed with red gauged flat arches and dressings, and red brick bands at the first and second floors. Nos 16, 18, and 34 have wood block bracketed eaves cornices; No. 26 retains a similar cornice below an altered upper storey, while Nos 20-24 have a stucco cornice at the eaves. The doors at Nos 16, 18 and 30 are wooden, with Nos 18 and 30 featuring carved brackets and hoods. No. 32 has a shell hood on carved brackets. First floor balconies are present at Nos 16, 20 and 28. No. 28 has an early 19th-century rebuilt front in yellow brick. No. 24 was the residence of Thomas Carlyle from 1834 to 1881 and features a white marble commemorative tablet with a medallion portrait. The interiors are described as good.
