Two-and-a-half storeys; the 3-bay facade to the street now has modern single-storey shop fronts projected from the ground floor (which are not of special interest), but the 1st floor has imitation quoins, three 12-pane unhorned sashed windows, and a wooden dentilled cornice (carried round); hipped roof with 2 inserted flat-roofed dormers; external chimneys at the end walls, that at the right-hand end larger. The right- hand return wall and the exposed end of the rear of this range are weather- boarded. The rear range is also weather-boarded, with a cornice like that at the front; at ground floor No.46 is covered by a long flat-roofed extension (not of special interest) and No.44 has a modern glazed door and a window, but at 1st floor No.44 has two 12-pane unhorned sashed windows; No.46 has a large louvred ventilator and a dormer ventilator with a semi-circular hood. At the west end is a small single-storey extension with a hipped roof, from which rises an extruded gable chimney. Interior altered at ground floor, but otherwise not inspected.
