Stone rubble, the Exeter Road elevation stuccoed, the rear elevation painted; slate roofs; stacks with brick shafts. Plan: Double depth main block.

To the right, a secondary 2-pane late 19th century sash; early 19th century 12-pane sash above. To the left of the porch (No 30) the front breaks forward and is symmetrically treated with a recessed 4-panel service door with an overlight, flanked by 16-pane sashes with 2 similar sashes above. Beyond this, to the south, the front elevation is roughcast with a central cartway with a 20th century plank door and 3 16-pane first floor sashes. The north (garden) front of No 31 has deep boxed eaves with moulded brackets and a platband below the eaves. 5-bay verandah with 2 cast iron columns and a glazed roof. Pair of high transomed French windows with small panes and margin lights; 2 first floor 12-pane sashes with margin panes and sill blocks.The west elevation of No 31, facing onto Four Mills Lane, has a very tall round-headed stair sash with margin panes, 2 20th century small-pane windows and a 20th century door with a cast iron fanlight. Tall wall to the service courtyard to the right with stone coping and a doorway. Iron railings with leaf finials to west. Interior: No 31 retains original features including marble chimney-pieces, panelled doors and a stick baluster stair with mahogany handrail. No. 30 has been much altered internally, but retains a small fireplace on the first floor with a grate and some 19th century panelled doors.
