No 50 has a ground floor that includes a four-panel door set within a timber porch that has a gabled roof supported by console brackets and moulded pilasters. There is a second door to the north of this entrance. The ground floor also has one double-hung sash window with glazing bars and a recent bay window with casements. On the first floor, there are two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars.
No 52 has a similar entrance but features a six-panel door. To the north of this door, there is a canted bay window with double-hung sashes and glazing bars, which is likely an addition. South of the door, there is one double-hung sash window with glazing bars, and the first floor has two similar windows. Each house includes one dormer in the attic, which has a slightly curved lead roof and side-hung casements.
