Mainly small pane windows; small pane casement windows to 2nd floor of No 5; freestone lintels and keystones to 1st and ground floors. Broad bracketed stone hoods to entrances with weathered fluted pilasters; panelled reveals and 6-panel doors with fanlights.

Asymmetrical right gable end with 2 arched openings leading into stone flagged and barrel vaulted cellars, said to have been used for storing salt. A further one towards rear is now blocked. The stairwell window to rear has Gothic Y-tracery and was originally in the Quaker Meeting House (built ca 1834) formerly adjacent overlooking the river; the window was inserted into the house after the railway company demolished the chapel in 1864.
