Three storeys and four bays (2+2); each unit has a double-fronted C19 shop window at ground floor and a doorway to the left; the shop doorways are recessed, and the windows vertically divided into four 2-stage lights (three to the front and
one returned) by slender columns mounted on low plinths; no. 2 has consoles to the cornice over the shop front and the side door, and this door has a large overlight with margin panes.
