Comprised originally 2 C19 houses, the lower storeys of which were subsequently converted to shops by insertion of large windows. The building was still 2 properties in 1888 and in 1895 No 22 was occupied by an estate agent.
A pair of 2-bay 3-storey houses converted into a single property, of ashlar in the lower storey, scribed stucco above, and slate roof with central stone stack on a deeply moulded dentilled cornice. The lower storey has a deep moulded cornice to the R side (No 23) and a thinner cornice to the L side (No 22). Doorways in the L-hand bays deep hoods and scrolled brackets. The L-hand (No 22) has replaced double panelled doors, while the R-hand doorway (No 23) has been converted to a window. Broad windows in the R-hand bays of each pair are under rusticated segmental arches and have plate glass. The middle and upper-storey windows have architraves. In the middle storey are horned sash windows of 6 over single panes, while the upper storey has horned sashes of 3 over 2 panes. Two pedimented roof dormers have broad 2-pane sash windows
Iron forecourt railings are on dwarf coped stone walls and have square hollow piers to steps opposite the original doorways.
