Terraced houses and shops. Early C19. Stucco. Roof obscured by parapet. EXTERIOR: 4 storeys over basement. 9-window range which wraps around from East Street to Bartholomews.

On the first floor is a Tuscan pilastrade of 9 bays; the middle bay, No.5, takes up the corner.

The sashes in the 4th- and 6th-window ranges are curved along with the front wall of the building.
