53 High Street, Dunblane

53 High Street in Dunblane is a 2-storey, 3-bay office building dating from 1886, designed in an asymmetrical Jacobethan style. It is part of an irregular terrace and constructed from squared and snecked bull-faced yellow sandstone with ashlar margins. The building features long and short quoins, a deep base course, and a continuous moulded hoodmould spanning the first and second storeys. The gable ends are capped with coped angled skewputts, and the windows are stone-mullioned and transomed with deep chamfered reveals.

On the principal elevation facing east, there is a timber panelled door located to the centre left, accompanied by a bipartite fanlight. To the left, a small window with leaded glass has an inset carved panel above it that bears a blank armorial shield dated 1886. To the right, there is a bipartite window, and a wallhead bipartite window with a gable that breaks the eaves is found in the right bay of the first floor, while a smaller tripartite window is in the left bay.

The rear elevation facing west features a 3-storey M-gabled structure with irregular fenestration and a 2-storey, flat-roofed advanced bay on the left. The north side elevation has a transomed window on the first floor, while the ground floor is obscured by an adjoining building. The south side elevation is also obscured by an abutting structure.

The windows throughout the building include plate glass, timber-framed, sash and case designs, with leaded glass in the stair window. The roof is covered with grey slates and lead flashing, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods featuring moulded guttering, quatrefoil brackets, and urn-shaped hoppers. The gable end stacks have moulded coping.

Inside, the building has a bipartite, pointed-arch glazing on the inner door, and the windows have deep timber panelled reveals with panelled shutters. A central staircase features turned timber balusters, a handrail, and newel posts topped with mitre-shaped finials.
