Each house has one window bay, with square heads on the second-floor windows and segmental heads with rubbed brick voussoirs on the first-floor windows. The first floor at the northern end retains sash windows with intact glazing bars. There are 20th-century shop fronts for numbers 17 and 18, while No 16 has a 19th-century shop front.
