Two storeys with hipped dormers and three storeys to gable-facing insets and gable ends. Block articulated into a series of projecting hipped bays, essentially a variation of the extended double-ended hall house plan with forms and finishes endebted to vernacular architecture.

Each projecting crosswing of three windows, a bilaterally symmetrical design, with outer ranges finishing in half hipped gable to second floor; one dormer between. Entrances to Nos. 1 and 7 in outer corners of hall range, the former set in a porch which is not of original design, the latter with a bracket porch of original design. Entrances to Nos. 3 and 5 in eleventh- and sixth-window ranges, each of which rises to a hipped, half dormer. Shallow canted bays to ground floor of Nos. 3 and 5. Each projecting crosswing has a polygonal bay to centre of ground floor becoming a first-floor balcony enclosed by railings of an original design. All leaded light casements of original design set in mullioned and transomed windows, stained and varnished; two, three or four light. All openings flat arched unless specified above. Axial stack to rear slope in party wall between Nos. 3 and 5, 7 and 9, and 1 and 51 Hampstead Way. Entrance to No.9 on return under a bracket porch; above a half-hipped, half dormer with stack to one side. Doors of original design.
