26, 27 Shore Road, Appin, Port Bannatyne

26 and 27 Shore Road in Appin, Port Bannatyne, is a later 19th-century, symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay gabled house. It features single-storey, single-bay pavilions that are slightly recessed on the outer left and right sides. The exterior is made of coursed yellow sandstone ashlar with raised margins, and red sandstone ashlar lintels at the ground level. The building has a raised base course, overhanging timber bracketed eaves, fretted timber bargeboards, and king-post gableheads. The openings have chamfered reveals with architraves, sandstone mullions, chamfered cills, and a pilastered doorpiece. The rear is finished in harl-pointed random rubble sandstone with painted margins, narrow strip quoins, and projecting cills.

On the north (entrance) elevation, steps lead up to a timber panelled door that is centrally located at the ground level. Above the door is a round-arched, plate-glass fanlight, with a surrounding doorpiece that includes flanking pilasters, a raised keystone, a plain frieze, and a cornice. A round-arched dormer window is aligned above the entrance. Tripartite windows with rope-moulded, red sandstone lintels flank the entrance at ground level, while bipartite windows are aligned beneath the first-floor gables. The recessed pavilions on the outer left and right have bipartite windows centered within them.

The south (rear) elevation features a centrally located timber panelled door at ground level with a bipartite fanlight above. A full-width canopy supported by cast-iron columns and a decorative scalloped timber bargeboard extends above the door. There are bipartite windows in both floors of the gabled bays flanking the center, and single windows are centered in the advanced pavilions on the outer left and right.

The building predominantly has two-pane timber sash and case glazing and is topped with a graded grey slate roof, along with replacement rainwater goods. The east and west ends have corniced apex stacks with octagonal cans.

The boundary wall surrounding the site at the front is a low random rubble wall with whitewashed coping. It features stop-chamfered, square-plan gatepiers topped with pyramidal caps, and there are two decorative timber pedestrian entry gates.
