Late Georgian house, divided into 2 properties and partly converted to commercial use. Scribed render walls, renewed slate roof and roughcast end stacks. 3 storey, 3 bays of the paired central doorways, No 9 has a fielded-panel door with plain overlight, No 7 has a replaced door beneath plain overlight, and pilaster strips with modern pediment. No 9 has a 4-pane sash window to the R in the lower storey. No 7 has a late C20 shop window to the L framed by panelled pilasters and fascia. Above, the central bay has blind windows, with 4-pane horned sash windows in both the middle and upper storeys.
