52 Dew Street

52 Dew Street is a terraced house dating from the 19th century, featuring painted lined stucco and a slate close-eaved roof with rendered end stacks that have nogged brick cornices. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has three bays that are offset to the left. It includes two ornamental gabled dormers with ornate fretted bargeboards and Gothic pointed 4-pane glazing, where the lower two panes can tilt. Only the left dormer aligns with the windows below.

On the first floor, there are three plate-glass sash windows adorned with vermiculated keystones and a raised sill band. The ground floor features a plate-glass sash window on either side of a square-headed doorway, which is framed by broad channelled piers and a plain stucco head. The door consists of two long arched panels with an overlight above. The single lower bay to the left, which is a continuation of No 50, is a remnant of the former house that once occupied the site. This area has a renewed door and overlight, leading to a through passage.

At the rear, there is a central stair-light, with a sash window on the first floor on each side and modern French windows on the ground floor.

Inside, the central hall has a room on each side. A small square lobby features a patterned tiled floor and a ceiling border with moulded square rosettes. The hall also has a similar border, a moulded arch supported by paired console brackets, and a staircase at the end with a bulbous turned newel and square balusters leading to dog-leg stairs. The rooms on either side have moulded cornices, with the left room containing two alcoves and the right room having one. The through-passage between No 52 and No 50 is open to the roof and features two iron cart axles spanning the gap between the walls.
