Tuscan quoin pilasters and shallow centre break, the frieze in the same plane with
cornice capping. Plinth as first floor sill course to flanking bays. Set back

Tripartite ground floor windows rise from plinth with small console heads to
mullions and elongated consoles carrying cornice and blocking course above rosette
studded frieze. Eared architrave surrounds to first floor glazing bar sashes.
No 18 has had right hand ground floor window replaced circa 1880-90 by "Flemish"
pilastered rectangular bay window, the structure carved over centre as porch with
symmetrical pediment, dentil cornice and blocking course with shaped dies. The
original doorcase with panelled reveals and rectangular marginal and diamond
glazed fanlight is still in situ. No 19 retains Tuscan column porch with deep

connected by 2 storey link to the house. No 19 has similar link but the coach house
