Description
Port Church and Port Church House is a building constructed from pink squared rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. It is one and a half storeys tall and designed in a T-plan. The architecture reflects a picturesque cottage style, featuring rustic verandahs and Gothic leaded casement windows. The windows are cambered-headed, with stone voussoirs and stone sills, and are timber mullioned with transoms; the top-lights include Gothic tracery.
The central projecting gable showcases a 4-light window on each floor. The wings of the building each have a 3-light window on both floors, with the upper window breaking the eaves beneath a stone dormer gable adorned with fretted bargeboards. The ground floors are enhanced by attractive slate-roofed rustic verandahs supported by painted tree-trunk posts. Each verandah has four bays, with the inner bay enclosed as a porch, and the roof hipped at the outer end. The enclosed porches feature ledged Gothic doors.
On the right end wall, there is an ashlar bellcote from the former church, along with a 2-light window on each floor that resembles the others but has 20th-century tracery. The right end also includes a 3-light window on the first floor and a blank window on the ground floor.
