Double-depth plan, each house single-fronted, with back extensions and through-lobby between the 2 houses. Two low storeys over cellars, 4-window range. The doorways, each to right and up one step, have round-headed architraves with raised moulded rims, moulded imposts, and semi-circular fanlights, No.10 with radiating glazing bars; and the lobby doorway to the right of No.10 has a wedge lintel and board door. One window at ground floor and 2 above, those at No.10 all 4-pane sashes No.8 altered, all with raised sills and those at ground floor with wedge lintels. Chimneys on front and rear slopes of roof.
