The doorways of each pair, up 2 steps with nosings (except Nos.4, 5 and 6, which have altered steps), forming a triplet with the lobby door between, have round-headed architraves with set-in Tuscan quarter columns, plain lintels, and semicircular fanlights with hollow-moulded surrounds and altered glazing, and altered doors. Each house has one window at ground floor and 2 above, all with raised sills and those at ground floor with wedge lintels (all glazing altered); cellar windows with wedge lintels, those at Nos.6, 7 and 8 protected by gratings (others altered). Ridge chimneys at the junctions of the pairs. Rear and INTERIOR not inspected, but known to have former laundry cellars under front rooms.
