What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey RIC barracks, built c.1830. Now in use as house. Hipped artificial slate roof with eaves brackets and rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with square-headed openings having stone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Segmental-headed door opening with timber panelled door and over-light. Cast-iron and timber fence to front boundary.
This former barracks retains much of its original form and is a notable aspect on the streetscape and village of Portroe. Its façade is enlivened by features such as the cornice and arched doorway.
