Description

Portsoy Station, built in 1884, is a single-storey building with a gabled double cruciform plan, entirely covered in weatherboarding. The long elevation faces the former railway line and features paired projecting gables that flank a former canopied waiting area, which has been sensitively infilled with weatherboarded cladding and a long glazed wallhead light. The north elevation also has paired advanced gables. The long windows have 2-pane glazing, and some windows are partly blocked with weatherboarding, while retaining timber bracketed ledge canopies. The building has plain bargeboards, slender wooden apex finials, and a slate roof, along with a single coped masonry chimney stack.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 93% of listed buildings. Of these, 6 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
