Ground floors each have a canted bay with hipped metal clad roofs, but centre house has 2-storey bay in centre and door to left. Doors are all 2-panel, with notched brick segmental pointed arches and carved heads to varied designs as keystones. Centre house has bargeboarded gable and small pointed attic light. Red brick ridge stacks.
Extensive decorative brick ornament to plinth, panels between bay windows and doors, panel to bay apron surviving only on No 9, big pulvinated zig-zag frieze between floors, leaf-pattern panels between upper windows and zig-zag and nailhead eaves course continued on centre gable.
Reason for designation
