36-38 George Street in Whithorn is a pair of terraced houses built in the earlier 19th century, standing two stories tall. Number 38 features a modern shop front on the ground floor. The buildings are constructed of squared and coursed masonry, which is painted, and include a base course and a moulded cornice. There are steps leading up to the doorways.

The deep-set door has a plate glass fanlight above it, and the sash and case windows have a four-pane glazing pattern.
