Description
The building is a warehouse located at Keiss Harbour, dating from around 1831. It is a three-storey, symmetrical structure with six bays, constructed from small rubble and built into the slope next to the harbour. The ground floor features six doors, while the first floor has doors in the second and fifth bays. There are small square vents just below the wallhead, and the windows are fitted with eight-pane sashes. The warehouse has end and ridge stacks and is topped with a Welsh slate roof. Access to the first floor is provided from the rear. A large rendered buttress is situated in the center of the southeast front.
