Detail includes raised sill bands and quoin strips. First floor has 12-pane hornless sash windows with narrow glazing bars in raised eared surrounds with keystones. Similar window to R of ground floor. To 2nd floor, late C20 2-light wooden windows, immediately under the eaves, with raised reveals. Entrance to No 15 is to R of centre, with half-glazed panelled door, the frosted glass possibly replacing wooden panels, reached by 2 stone steps; flat cantilevered porch canopy, moulded and panelled to underside. To L, shop-front with mid-late C20 detail; plain pilasters articulating openings, supporting an angled fascia, which may mask an earlier cornice. Shop has 2-panel wooden door with overlight, R of which is a 2-light shop window. To L is a further doorway, probably to a through-passage, with cast iron gate with plain uprights and scrollwork to lock-rail, boarded behind.
