Each window is set within a lugged moulded architrave with a moulded sill. The ground floor has a wide doorway with sidelights, plain pilasters, and a dentil cornice. The ground floor openings feature a plain frieze and cornice above them. The building forms a group with numbers 36 to 40 Church Street, Stratford House, and Mill Lane.
