Rockfaced grey limestone with slate hipped roofs, three-storey six-window front with single bay full-height porch projections on each end wall. Moulded cornice and parapet. Corniced stone stacks.

Ashlar rusticated angle quoins, channelled pier between houses and surround to openings. 12-pane sash windows. Ground floor has arched windows with rusticated surrounds carried down to plinth, first floor plain flush surrounds with sill-brackets and second floor has cambered-headed flush surrounds with sill-brackets. End walls have similar 3-window elevations with similar blank openings each side of projecting porch bay, which has matching windows to N and end elevations, the latter with ground floor arched doorway, blocked on No 4, double doors to No 5. Rear is similar, with deep basement and plainer rock-faced stone walls.
Marked as 'under construction' on 1877 dockyard map.
Reason for designation
