There are three half dormers to the part-attic storey with elaborate bracketed bargeboards and plate glass segmental-headed sash windows. On the ground floor there are two late C19 two-light shop windows. The ground floor window of No 12 has panelled sides. No 13 has a similar window with fascia brackets and a blind box as well as a three-light stone mullion window with plate glass sashes to the right of the modern door.
