40 Culmore Point Road, Londonderry, BT48 8JW

This is a mid-19th century house with a picturesque appearance, though the first-floor dormers are somewhat large. The house has a gabled form with an asbestos slate roof and gable chimneys. It is three bays wide, with a central doorway and a long rear return.

The main entrance features a four-panelled door with a shallow, rectangular fanlight above a straight cornice, supported by scroll-shaped pilasters on either side. A stopped and moulded label moulding extends over the door and across the front of the house, interrupted by two bay windows. The western bay is a shallow rectangular projection with two tall casement windows, topped with a moulded cornice and a curved, painted roof. The eastern bay is canted, featuring three tall casement windows and a slated, faceted roof. A plain string course runs above the bays, extending up the gables. Another string course aligns with the bay window cills and is not returned on the gables. The wide, canted half-dormers, springing from the lower string course, are gabled and slated with plain bargeboards and ridge tiles. A frieze band with modillion piers is present on the main elevation, running beneath the eaves. A small sash window is positioned above the entrance door, between the string course and the eaves. The rear return is offset from the main front, with the stair landing extending into it and lit by a window on the east wall. A further window is placed to the rear of the sitting room. To the rear are a single-storey outhouse and stable with corrugated iron roofing, alongside sections with natural slate. The windows are a mixture of sliding sash and casement types. The exterior is colour-washed, and the gutters are painted black.

An earlier house with a back return is shown on Ordnance Survey maps from 1830 and 1853, but the layout differs from the present arrangement. The present house most likely dates from the 1860s.
