Description
Ock Lea House, located at No. 50 Ock Street, is a late 18th-century building featuring a tile roof and rendered, white-painted exterior. It stands three storeys tall and is adorned with a moulded cornice and parapet, along with a painted plinth. The second floor has two windows with flush frames, double-hung sashes, and glazing bars. The first floor showcases three-light sash windows with wooden mullions, a small cornice, and glazing bars, while the ground floor has similar windows but without glazing bars.
A square rendered porch, which projects and is two storeys high, features a gabled roof with carved barge-boarding and a band between the storeys. The segmental arched doorway has a stopped chamfer and is topped by a glazed three-light fanlight. The double doors include half with marginal glazing. There is one additional window on the ground floor with a flat arch and double-hung sash with glazing bars, along with a small cornice. The upper storey has one window on each side with a flat arch, and there is a blocked window on the ground floor. To the right, there is a two-storey brick extension with two windows, one of which is blocked, and a plain door set in a segmental architrave. The garden elevation is irregular.
