Nos 27-28 of coursed rubble with granite lintels and quoins and Nos 2 and 4 of brick with granite quoins and lintels; otherwise of coursed and dressed granite; gabled artificial slate roofs with brick stacks. Mostly single-depth plans with rear outshots; one mid C20 flat-roofed rear extension.

Nos 27 and 28 have copper plaque and wreath to first-floor centre commemorating endowment of this street by William John Mills "to the old people of St Day for their benefit and comfort".
