Double-depth plan plus narrow wings set back at far left and right, each house with 1 room at the front and entrance halls are at left and right. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys plus attic over basement; overall symmetrical 4-window front. Possibly original horned sashes including some sashes to rear with glazing bars and French windows to balconies over canted bays to ground floor of front, and there are 2 similar canted bays at rear. Stucco detail includes channelled rustication to ground floor, central quoin strip and quoin strips to corners, and the canted bays are surmounted by moulded cornices, linked to string, and turned balustrades. Pilastered doorways at left and right have moulded hoods on brackets and overlights above 4-panel doors. INTERIOR: not inspected but likely reflect the high quality of the exterior. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: low rubble road-frontage walls with limestone copings and 3 chamfered and panelled gate-piers with plinths and moulded caps. Part of a fine planned group in the Classical tradition. Shown on 1867 map.
