Belfast Trussed Roof Building, Adjacent to Nos. 5-6 Coastguard Cottages, Causeway View Lane, Portrush, County Antrim

Single-storey, street-fronted Belfast Truss-roofed garage of perhaps c.1935-40 set within the north-west corner of the former gardens of the adjoining houses (nos.1-6 Coastguard Cottages), in an urban location to the north of Portrush town centre. To the east side the building abuts the stone boundary wall of the gardens; to the west side it abuts a tall rendered wall. External walls are faced with corrugated iron. The north front face is symmetrical and gabled. To either side there is replacement door; these are both modern steel 'up and over' domestic garage doors. The panel between the doors is finished with horizontal timber boarding. The 'tympanum' is faced with vertical timber boarding with a serrated lower edging. The east wall is entirely obscured by planting. The roof is barrel vaulted and covered with mineral felt. The north wall merges with the stone boundary wall that encloses gardens of the coastguard cottages. This is topped with a rubble stone coping. To the centre there is a coach entrance that gives access to a communal parking area; the opening is flanked with squared dressed-stone gate pillars; these are topped with chamfered copestones. Replacement timber gates have been added. The gates and gates pillars along with the eastern side of the wall is associated with the house and terrace.
