Description

The Fishing Station in Badachro is an early to mid-19th century building that has undergone later alterations. Originally a fishing station, it is built into the ground that slopes down to the sea, featuring a quay and two stone jetties. The structure was originally two stories with an attic and comprised three bays, with an outside stair located at the right gable. In the 1930s, it was extended by two bays to create a five-bay house. The exterior is finished with white painted harl and purple slates, and it has broad harled stacks and modern glazing.

On the front (east) elevation, the original openings have been altered at the ground floor following the two-bay addition. The original door has been blocked, and a central door has been created to the right, with two windows on each side, which have been enlarged to the outer bays. The first floor features five windows, and there are two timber gabled dormers in the attic. The rear of the building is accessed at the first floor through a modern conservatory that leads to a lean-to porch addition, and there is also an attic skylight.

Inside, there is one large room on the ground floor, which has a trapdoor that provides access to the first floor from above. The front of the house is flanked by rubble quay walls that extend to the north and south, with the two stone jetties located to the south.
