Description
38 King William Walk is a building dating from around 1840. It has three storeys and features one window on the front, with a narrow, one-bay rounded angle facing College Approach and a similar one-window return on that street. The exterior is finished in stucco and includes heavily rusticated pilasters that support a cornice adorned with large, scrolled brackets. Above the cornice, there is a parapet with pilasters that carry stepped finials.
The second-floor sash windows have plain reveals and bracketed cills, while there is a blocked, round-headed second-floor window in the angle. The first-floor features Venetian windows with a segmental central light, triple keystone, and impost blocks that form the lintels of the side lights. One first-floor window on the return is blocked, and there is a narrow, round-headed window in the angle. All windows are sashes with glazing bars.
The ground floor has modernised shop fronts situated between wide, rusticated pilasters with reeded borders, panelled stallrisers, a heavy bracketed cornice head, and a rectangular fanlight. The building is part of a group with Nos 38 to 43.
