Numbers 56 and 60 have single planked doors with semi-circular fanlights above, each with a single ashlar step leading up. Numbers 60 and 62 also have partly glazed doors with oblong fanlights above; number 60's fanlight has glazing bars, while number 62 has a segment-headed, partly glazed door. Each of numbers 56, 58, and 62 has an attic dormer, with number 62's dormer containing a double-hung sash window with glazing bars, and the others featuring casement windows with glazing bars.
