The ground floor fronts have two tripartite sashes, a plate glass bow window, and a glazed door with a rectangular fanlight to the right, which marks the end of No. 2 George Street. A double-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight and two steps is on the corner section, leading to half-glazed inner doors. Two basement sashes are on the left, and a rendered wall with a boarded door leads to the back yard. This description includes No. 2 George Street.
