The facades are stuccoed, with the ground floor rusticated and the first floor featuring long and short quoins. The first floor has an overhang supported by a moulded bressummer and brackets. A wooden eaves cornice is present, with No. 7 incorporating modillions. The roofs are tiled. Modern shop fronts and first-floor windows are present. The houses are two storeys high, with four windows each. No. 8 has an attic storey with three hipped dormers. Nos. 7 to 19A form a notable group.
