The houses are constructed from coursed sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while No 8 has a rendered ground floor.

The west entrance elevation showcases a variety of doorpieces on the right side of the ground floor. Nos 1-4, 6, 8, and 10 have pilastered doorpieces, while Nos 5, 7, 9, and 11 feature doric columned doorpieces. The doors are panelled timber, accompanied by various fanlights. Above, there are single windows on the first floor and single windows on both floors of the bay to the left. No 11 has a pediment with a single window within it. The roof has single piended canted dormers to the left.

The windows are predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and has skylights to the right of the dormers. The chimney stacks are mostly rendered with corniced cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The property is bordered by a coped boundary wall along the street, with original cast-iron railings at No 6.
