The doorway is from the 18th century and resembles that of No 43. Above the hood, there are advertisement boards for a tea shop. There is a sash window above the doorway. To the right of the front, there is a two-storey splayed bay, which does not have any original glazing bars. Nos 41 to 45, which are consecutive, form a group.
