In the center, there is a broad open porch supported by 2 columns and 2 responds made of painted stone, with a wooden cornice. The porch is set on raised slate paving slabs with steps leading up and iron railings connecting the two columns. There are paired doorways, featuring a 20th-century panelled door for No 16 and a 20th-century glazed door for No 14, both with plain overlights. The left end wall is made of rubble stone and includes a window on the first floor.
