The buildings rise three storeys and have a total of seven windows. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts, while the first floor includes three sash windows with moulded stone surrounds.

Nos. 53 and 53A are distinguished by rusticated quoins. Inside, there is part of an early 19th-century staircase, along with panelled doors and moulded doorcases.
