11 Sheskin Road, Greysteel, Co Londonderry, BT47 3EL

This is a mid-Victorian farmhouse, likely built between 1860 and 1879, with later alterations in the late Victorian period and the 1920s. It is presently empty and derelict, with the ground floor windows blocked to prevent vandalism, and the garden is unkempt. The building sits on an elevated position on the south side of Sheskin Road, offering views of Lough Foyle, but is overlooked to the west by a modern housing development.

The house is two stories high and built into a slope. It is stone-built, with a smooth rendered finish to the front and a harled finish elsewhere. The gables are natural slated, and the house has yellow brick chimneys. A projecting two-story porch extends from the central bay of the original three-bay structure. The main facade features tripartite ground floor windows, with pairs of round-headed windows above. The porch has large three-light windows on both the ground and first floor, filled with patterned coloured glass. The rear elevation has a mixture of windows, some sash windows with Georgian panes, although the ground floor openings are now bricked up. An attic with a rear rooflight has been added to the extended bay. Quoins have a pronounced plaster imitation ashlar finish. The projecting porch features wavy timber bargeboards, decorative red ridge tiles, and a weathervane, while other gables have cement bargeboards.

According to the owner, the house was built around 1868 and the porch was added around 1890. The south bay was added in the 1920s, which is when the internal decorative plasterwork was likely applied. The window arrangement on the east facade is similar to that of 11 Foyle Avenue, and Barker or Given are suspected to be the architects for the 1890s work.

There were previously two cottages on the site; one has been demolished, and the remains of the other are visible at a right angle to the northwest corner, currently used as a wood store. A family with the same name as the present owner were recorded as living on the site in Griffith's Valuation of 1858.

Behind the main house is a farmyard, outhouses, and the remains of an earlier dwelling house, although most of the outbuildings are modern.
