The houses are two storeys over a basement, with dormers on the main block and a three-storey entrance wing set back to the side, designed in the style of an Italianate villa. They have a two-and-a-half window range, with a blank central window shared between the two houses. The main and entrance wings have quoins.
The flat-arched porch includes engaged antae and an entablature, while the doorcase has an overlight and original studded doors, although the upper panels are now glazed on both houses. There is a canted bay at the basement and ground floor, with No. 1 featuring a bracketed balcony and cast-iron railings. A storey band separates the floors, and the first floor of the main wing has flat-arched tripartite windows, while the entrance wing features round-arched windows on the first and second floors, with cast-iron balconettes on the second floor. The eaves are bracketed, and the main block has a hipped roof, while the entrance wing has a pyramidal roof. There is a central stack and an additional stack on the entrance wing of No. 2.
