These have three storeys and three windows, the windows of number 47 having segmental heads. There are plain doors, a parapet, and a slate roof. Number 48 has an ashlar front with a cornice and parapet, alongside a modern shopfront. It also incorporates two storeys and three windows with sash windows containing glazing bars, with a centrally blocked window. A four-bay modern block was added in 1965. Number 49 is two storeys with one bay, featuring a large tripartite sash window above a modern ground floor shopfront, and a parapet roof. Numbers 50 to 53 are rendered, with three storeys, a moulded cornice, and a slate roof. Each of these numbers has two windows per storey, with keystone heads. Sashes with glazing bars are present on the first and second floors of numbers 50 and 51. Number 53 has a modern bow window to the ground floor.

Number 53 has a modern surround featuring a broken pediment and a Wedgwood medallion.
