The doorways are finished with reeded lintels and impost blocks. The terrace is set back from the street with long front gardens. Numbers 39 and 40, and numbers 44 and 45, are designed as paired properties. Number 42 displays a Fire Insurance Mark, depicting a British lion and shield. Numbers 39 to 54 form a group, demonstrating group value.
