A three-storey and attic, three-bay merchants house, dated 1694, with one contemporary rear wing, a 17th or 18th century building, and a large late-19th warehouse. The merchants house has an arcaded ground floor with round-headed arches resting on squat pillars with square moulded capitals, and the Western arch is leading to a pend. The building is constructed of harled ashlar with tooled ashlar margins. The skewputts are dated and initialled AH and JH for Andrew Hay (merchant) and Janet Hay, his wife. The pend is cobbled and paved, and the close has stone runnels. The first and second floor windows were slightly enlarged in the early-19th century. There is an attic window in the East gable with original roll-moulding. There are two swept dormers in the stone slab roof, and three similar dormers of varying size to the rear. The gables are crowstepped, and there are moulded copes to the gable chimneys. The contemporary rear wing is a three-storey irregular two-bay gabled and crowstepped wing. It has no remaining original internal features, except portions of the stair. The 17th or 18th century building is a two-storey, three-bay building giving onto the close, and is constructed from rubble with chamfered mouldings to the door and windows. The large later-19th century warehouse has two storeys and six bays, and is constructed from rubble, with tooled dressings. A single-storey three-bay side elevation of 48 High Street flanks the close.
