The shopfront, dating from the mid to late 19th century, includes fascia end brackets with faceted panels and fluted colonnettes, although the glazing has been removed on the right side. The entrance has a half-glazed door. To the left, there is a two-storey lean-to (No 37A) that is stepped back, featuring one horned sash window above a modern door. Additional sash windows are present on the sides and rear of the building.
