Nos 12 and 13 have each two small dormers, tripartite windows at second and first floors, in splayed surround and with floating cornice at first floor, and paired sash in splay to ground floor, above paired four-pane to basement. To left five-panel door in architrave with flat hood on pilasters with consoles, to right six-panel in hood doorcase on solid cheeks, with impost band. No.14 similar, but with raised plat surround to windows at first and second floors, and six-panel door with fine fanlight in hood doorcase as to No.12. Plinth, platband above first floor, modillion cornice, discontinuous between Nos 13 and 14, blocking course and parapet.

Moulded strings run full width at each floor, but are stopped to central bay.
