Originally one building, has fine street facade (west) of red brick with flat pilasters at each end with moulded capitals and bases. Drop dentilled cornice. First floor has six bays, second window from each end blocked or false; flat arches and original flush sashes (except for the one window belonging to 22). Ground floor of no.20 has shop front of around 1930, no.22 has fine Edwardian shop front. Pantile roof; reduced T shaped stack at south gable; stack at former north gable but roof now continues over adjacent carriage arch beyond pilaster. Two dormers to no.20. Interior of no.20 only seen. Ground floor all modernised; first floor has good 19th century fireplace in south stack, and bridging beams papered over. Attic has three arched collars, but apparently machine cut, pegged to principals.Timber framed partition with blocked door to no.22. No evidence seen for suggestion in (S1) that interior is older than facade, which is early 18th century.
