No 38 (Wood End) and 40 (Dean End), Dean Street

Two houses, known as No. 38 (Dean End) and No. 40 (Wood End) on Dean Street, were originally a single dwelling. The core of the building dates back to the 17th century, with later extensions in the 18th century. The construction is timber framed, with some replacement brickwork, now covered with a roughcast finish. The original layout was a T-shape, consisting of a main range running parallel to the street and a projecting rear wing. In the 18th century, a brick wing was added to the front.

The houses are two storeys high, with a 1:2 window arrangement. A two-storey canted bay window projects from the left side of the projecting wing, featuring "Brewood style" Gothick tripartite windows. The outer windows of the bay have elliptical heads, while the inner windows have cusped heads, all with original glazing bars. The main range has widely spaced 19th-century casement windows, with Tudor-style hood moulds above three of the ground-floor windows. Blocked stone mullioned windows are visible in the cellar. A 20th-century panelled door is set within a flat-bracketed hood.

Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace with a timber mantle beam.
