The outer windows are 3-light, with narrow side lights. The ground storey has a C20 shop front. Roof tiled. The 1st storey rooms at the front have moulded plaster ceilings. In the rear range the rooms on both the ground and 1st storey have very good ornamental plaster ceilings. Nos 119 to 129 (odd) Fore Street and Nos 77 to 83 (odd) Grimwade Street form a group. (S1).
