Description
No. 38, Ock Street is a building with a front that was rebuilt in the late 19th century, likely onto an 18th-century structure. It features modern decorative half-timbering and a gable facing the road. The building is rough rendered with a dentil eaves cornice. There is a single window in the gable, and two windows on the first floor. The attractive 19th-century shop front at ground level has been modified and incorporates Ionic pilasters and an entablature with dentils, creating a three-window frontage. The building forms a group with Nos. 34 to 42 (even).
