Description

No 54 is a 17th-century house located on High Street in Corsham. The building is constructed of pebbledashed rubble stone and features a stone tiled roof with a coped north gable and a rebuilt south end stack. It has two storeys and an attic.

The ground floor has a 19th-century shop front, which includes a central door on the west front flanked by plate glass shop windows on an ashlar base. The shop front is rebated at the north-west angle for an iron column, with a projecting shop window on the north side, also on an ashlar base, and a fascia with a dentil cornice above both fronts.

On the first floor, there are paired 19th-century eight-pane sash windows to the right of the west front. The north-west corner stones are exposed, and the north gable end features recessed ovolo-moulded mullion windows with hoodmoulds: a three-light window with a relieving arch over it on the first floor and a two-light window in the attic.

At the rear, there is a wing with an east end stack and on the north side, there are three-light and two-light flush cyma-moulded mullion windows on the first floor, along with an ashlar addition to the ground floor. The roof is covered with concrete tiles.
