The end pavilions form a single house, the centre 2 including one bay on either side. The end pavilions are linked to the centre by 15 bays. The ground floor is under a colonnade of Greek Doric fluted columns with entablature and blocking course. The roof of this forms a balcony on the first floor with a delicate cast iron railing. Each house in the link has 2 small dormer windows, 2 windows on the second floor and 2 pairs of French casements on first floor. Half-glazed entrance doors with rectangular fanlights of various designs. The majority of the upper windows have shutters.
