It has a plain tile roof with two dormers featuring wood glazing, and stone slates near the verge. The front is cement rendered. The windows are segmental-headed, three-light wooden casements. The central doorway originally had a moulded architrave and now features a pedimented hood supported by shaped brackets. Nos. 119 to 123 (odd) form a group.
