Portpatrick Church Hall, School Bare, Portpatrick

Portpatrick Church Hall, built between 1886 and 1887 by Richard Park, is a Gothic-style building with a gabled rectangular plan, originally a church, featuring a three-stage tower on the north side. It is constructed from whinstone with sandstone ashlar dressings and has an advanced base course.

On the northwest elevation, there are steps leading to a central arched entrance with a roll-moulded design, flanked by nook shafts. The entrance has a two-leaf boarded timber door with a shoulder arch and a trefoil design at the arch head, along with a hoodmould. To either side of the entrance, there are pairs of narrow lights with trefoil heads. A buttress is located to the outer right. Above the entrance, there is an arched tracery window with a hoodmould and a ribbon panel from 1887, topped with a cross finial at the apex. The three-stage tower on the left has flanking buttresses, a boarded timber door with a letterbox fanlight, a narrow pointed arch louvred light at the second stage, and a recessed clock face at the third octagonal stage, supported by heavy corbelling intended to carry a spire. To the outer left, there is a single-storey bay with a mullioned window.

The building features plate glass, three-pane timber sash and case windows, as well as fixed windows with leaded and stained glass. It has a grey slate roof with stone skews and a stack on the outer left, along with cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there are paired leaded windows to the southeast and deep splayed nave windows to the northeast and southwest. The interior also includes decorative corbels and an infilled gallery.

The property is enclosed by a rubble boundary wall on the outer left, with decorative railings and a gate featuring ball finials that divide the sections.
