Description
1 Port Road in Palnackie is a pair of houses built in the early 19th century from squared granite. The buildings are two stories tall with a basement. They feature paired central doorways that have deeply recessed doors, with a dividing jamb made of monolithic granite. On either side of the doors, there are single light windows, and the first floor has three windows, with No. 1 having modern glazing and No. 3 featuring four-pane sash windows.
The houses have corniced axial wallhead stacks, flat skews, and slate roofs, while the gable walls are constructed from rubble. The rear elevations show that No. 1 is roughcast and No. 3 is painted. Both houses have three bays, with the windows as described, except the center bay on the first floor has bipartite windows. An important retaining and boundary wall is located at the street for No. 1.
