Two storeys over cellars, each house 2 bays, with vertical joints between Nos.1 and 2, and 3 and 4, respectively, and a continuous frieze and moulded cornice (continued over one bay to left of No.1, which appears to be part of this item but is actually a back-extension to No.25 Ribblesdale Place, q.v.).

Nos.1 and 3 each have one chimney each side of ridge, others now lack chinmneys. INTERIORS: Nos.1 to 3 have small entrance halls with panelled arches and moulded plaster modillions, and cellars under front rooms only, with fireplaces; No.1 has dog-legged staircase with stick balusters and carved brackets; back yard of No.2 has blocked well (filled in by order of Sanitary Purposes Committee in 1878); No.4 remodelled internally.
