Each bay has doorway with tie-stones and chamfered surround (that to No. 254 reduced to window forming one dwelling with No. 252), and a double chamfered mullioned window of 3 lights with same over. Moulded gutter brackets. 3 stacks to ridge. Attached to No. 252 is 2-storey single cell extension (rendered) with flat roof c1983. Set over former doorway to No. 254 is date tablet with the numbers set in the spandrels of a quatrefoil.
