Arresting three-bay, two-storey property used to be a Garda station. It began life as an RIC barracks and became Easkey Garda station in the 1920s. Sergeants lived at one end and the Garda station was at the other. It has been partly restored with a comfortable living quarter. On the Wild Atlantic Way it has views of the sea. BER: G.
