A terrace of 3 houses; brick with stone angle quoins, and slate roof with 2 brick axial stacks and gable end stack to right. 3 storeys, 3-window range, each house with doorway to left. 4-panelled doors each with shallow segmental overlight in ornate moulded case with depressed arched head with fluted keystone. 4-pane sash windows to ground and first floors, 12-pane sashes to attic storey, all with flat arched rendered heads.
Cast-iron railings and gates to front gardens have cusped arrow head rails in 2 tiers, on a stone plinth wall.
