52 High Street is probably early 19th century. It is of three storeys with a pair of sash windows on the first two floors on the frontage. It appears to be of uniform construction apart from a modern shop extension to the rear. The side wall on the north side is of rubble with timber lacing. The other walls on the ground floor are heavily rendered with concrete. The external rear and side walls on the upper levels are slate-hung.
