There is a high garden wall along Calf Street, which has a parapet that sweeps up to gate piers topped with terra-cotta ball finials. A wrought iron overthrow features a Victorian lamb design. Additionally, there is a bow window at the back of the house. The properties numbered 6 to 18 (even) form a group with this building.
