Plain C20 bargeboards; plinth; single-light windows to the attics; cross-windows to the first floor; French windows and canted bays to the ground floor. Four forward-facing gables; those to the centre are stepped well forward with single-storey hipped-roofed canted bays with full-height plate-glass windows of slightly different dimensions, that to No.16 has a cast-iron pendant frieze. The smaller outer gables are over slightly projecting oriels which are corbelled out to the first floor.
