The buildings are constructed from coursed granite and feature a slate roof with both hipped and gabled ends, along with wide eaves. They are two storeys high and have six sash windows with glazing bars, revealed casings, and granite sills. There are three plain doorways, each with a rectangular fanlight above. This terrace is included for its group value with Nos 1 to 10 and Langley-Tarn in Mill Pool, forming a cohesive architectural group.
