No. 32 High Street is a building that combines shops and dwellings, featuring a late 18th-century front attached to an earlier core. The exterior is roughcast with a hipped Welsh slate roof and a brick stack on the right front. The building has three storeys and a two-window range, with 6/6 sash windows in moulded cases on the first and second floors, and a moulded wood eaves.
On the left side, there is a 19th-century shopfront with glazed double doors, which are recessed between windows that have moulded glazing-shafts and glazing-bars. There is also an entrance to a passage at the rear, which includes a plain overlight.

Inside the passage to the rear, there are exposed wall plates and ceiling beams that may date back to the 17th century, along with 18th and 19th-century stick-framing and brick infill.
