A block of four adjoining houses built as a single unit around 1850. The houses are constructed with a rendered mass wall and have slate hipped roofs with rolled edges. The stacks have brick and rendered shafts, and rainwater goods and window sills are cast iron.

The houses are arranged in a symmetrical block, with the central pair facing south towards the street and the outer pair set at an angle to the street. The centre houses are three storeys high, while the outer pair are two storeys high. The front facade has a symmetrical arrangement of one bay, two bays, two bays, and one bay. The outer pair have boxed eaves and round-headed doorways on the left, featuring rusticated quoins and fanlights with spoke glazing bars. The doors are replacements from the 20th century. The centre houses have sixteen-pane hornless timber sash windows on the ground floor, and twelve-pane sashes on the first and second floors. Each end wall of the outer pair has one sixteen-pane timber sash window on the ground and first floors. The front elevations of the outer pair feature central doorways matching those of numbers 65 and 67, along with sixteen-pane timber sash windows. The interior remains uninspected, but may contain features of interest.
