Single build 1-7 Cannon Street, tall attractive and good example of a late C19th Gothic Revival red brick building with stone detailing. No 2 is at the northern end of the terrace. The Ground floor western façade has a commercial use with large glazed frontage which retains many of the (possibly original) shop front details, including the pilasters and consoles over the party walls, the cornicing over the shop sign, stall risers below the timber framed windows (with glazing bars) and a recessed central door. Over the ground floor shop front there are two large, equally spaced windows per floor, (1st 2nd and 3rd floors) with four panes separated by stone mullions and transoms for each window and a stone string course separating the windows between each of the floors. These string courses continue across the facades of the whole terrace. There is a stone pilaster over both party walls running from the coping at the top of the parapet to the base of the second floor. A third stone pilaster is also present centrally within the gable end, which runs from the ridge of the roof again to the base of the second floor. The southernmost and central of these pilasters are topped by spherical finials, the northern one would also likely have originally had a finial, but it is no longer present. There is a slight parapet with stone coping on this gable end and two small windows aligning with the inner part of those on the third floor below. Between the top of the third floor and the gable end, there is a stone cornice return which has numerous rounded stone corbels beneath. This continues across the whole façade of the terrace. there is a metal gutter down pipe running from a gap at the top of the third floor, down to the bottom of the first floor where it joins with a gutter down pipe for No 3 Cannon Street next door and continues behind the pilaster over the party wall down to the pavement level. The down pipe is highly decorative and likely original to the building. The whole building is structurally sound and in good condition though there is some weathering to the stone detailing, some chipped paintwork on the pilasters over the party walls and some staining to the brickwork.

At the ground floor level, the original pilasters and decorative consoles over party walls still survive and the glazing bars between the panes on the ground floor may also be original. The recessed front door is part glazed, with a rectangular window located above the transom over the door. The two first floor windows have stone surrounds and consist of two windows each separated into four panes by stone transoms and mullions. The windows on the second and third floor align with the first-floor windows and are the same. Though there are stone transoms present on all the windows these to not appear to be attached to the timber frames, which look to be sash. The windows within the gable end are narrower than those below, only one pane wide, but align with the inner part of the third-floor windows. To the rear of the property (eastern façade) the windows lack the stone surrounds and mullions, but many of the original timber sashes appear to still be present.

The western (front) part of the roof is gabled, with a slight parapet at the gable end which is facing Cannon Street, the eastern part of the roof is steeply pitched slate gable roof with the gable ends over the party walls. (1)
