Slate roof with crested red ridge-tiles. Rendered chimney on right-hand end-wall. Probably a 3-room-and-through-passage plan, 1 room deep, with long rear wing to right; doorway probably inserted into middle room when house sub-divided. 3 storeys. Combined symmetrical front of 3-window range, the middle ground-storey window flanked by 2 round-arched doorways. Ground storey has horizontal channelling finished with a raised band at sill-level in the second storey; doorways have voussoirs channelled in the render. Door at number 53 is 4-panelled with brass letterbox. Number 54 has late 20th century glazed shop door; plain display windows at either side, probably enlargements of ordinary domestic windows.
