Looks very close to a 52. Most of us can adjust 1 cm up or down, but 52cm can be measured several ways.
From the center of the bottom bracket (center of the crank set) to where the center of the top tube meets the seat tube. Or center to top which measures to the top of the seat collar.
If to top is the measure, it effectively makes the frame a few cm shorter based on the size you gave.
Now throw all of that out. Too many other factors at work (leg length versus torso...length of stem...your preferred riding position...). Test ride it and see what you think!
