Bovevagh Rectory, 30 Camnish Road, Dungiven, Co Londonderry, BT47 4NJ

Bovevagh Rectory is a mid-Georgian former rectory of medium size, built around 1772, situated on flat ground adjacent to the east bank of the River Roe in a secluded setting surrounded by mature trees and overgrown shrubs. The building is currently undergoing internal and external refurbishment.

The main structure is five bays wide and two and a half storeys high with a basement and back return, constructed in harled sandstone with natural slate roof and plain chimney stacks on each gable. The ground floor sits 750 millimetres above garden level. The principal south elevation features a central fanlighted doorway of pleasing proportions, approached by a flight of six stone steps. The door comprises four panels and is flanked by wide pilasters of rusticated sandstone surmounted by a thin cornice. Above the door is a semi-circular fanlight with radiating astragals and a moulded sandstone architrave with central keystone. On either side are two twelve-pane sliding sash windows with sandstone cills. The first floor contains five nine-pane sliding sash windows positioned directly above the openings below, with a greater amount of solid wall between the centre window and those on either side. At basement level, two six-pane sliding sash windows sit with cills slightly below lawn level. An eaves-level plain string course supports the half-round cast iron gutter. The walls are harled in a poor state of repair with smooth window reveals. The roof is Bangor Blue slated with plain barge stones. The gables are plain, each containing a single double-hung sliding sash window at each floor and two nine-pane sliding sash windows on either side of each chimney stack to light the attics.

The back return extends two bays and rises two storeys with a lower ridge line than the main roof, aligned with the east gable. It contains double twelve-pane sliding sash windows at ground and first floor levels. Between the main house and back return, a small return contains a rear porch with a sheeted door and stilted fanlight with astragals in Gothic style. Two unequal-sized windows above the rear porch provide light at right angles to the main house. Beyond the back return stands a single-storey return, slated and hipped, with a sheeted door and four-pane sliding sash window.

The rear of the main house, to the west of the back return, is three bays wide. A nine-pane sliding sash window lights a passageway under the stair landing, while two four-pane sliding sash windows light a toilet and corridor at ground floor level. Above the outer window is a nine-pane sliding sash window lighting a corner room. A semi-circular window above the projecting rear porch lights the stairway to the attic. A door provides direct access to the basement under the toilet window, with a six-pane sliding sash window lighting the basement space. The rear wall harling is partially removed, exposing the sandstone rubble wall behind with some brick trim and remaining in poor repair. The chimney to the two-storey back return is not centred on the ridge.

A separate one and a half storey coach house, constructed in square sandstone blocks with slate roof and hipped design, stands in line with the back return but set apart to allow vehicular access.

The rectory formerly occupied gardens extending to both sides of Camnish Road, of which only the remains of a small walled garden and square stone gate piers survive. Contemporary accounts describe the building as "a good comfortable house and a conspicuous object" and "a commodious dwelling with good offices, pleasantly situated on the banks of the Roe". The last rector was the Reverend Ruttledge.
