Pair of houses in row. Probably C17 origins, but raised and refronted in late C19. Rendered, stone block gable,slate roofs. A small pair of houses at the end of a row, twin gables to street. 3 storeys, 1+1- windowed. All 4-pane horned sashes. In No 90 the ground-floor window offset to right of C20 door in cheeked porch with flat slab roof; No 92 has C20 door in similar porch, far right. Central brick stack. The return gable is in good squared and cut stone and shows clearly the line of the earlier, lower steep roof. At the back is a full width lean-to unit in two storeys, including one 16-pane sash. The earlier provenance of the building is also indicated by the low ceiling heights and overall small scale. Interior not inspected. Subsidiary features: across the front and returned at either end a low boundary wall in large squared block, with simple openings opposite doors.
