Old Rectory, 68 Culmore Point Road, Londonderry, BT48 8JW

A rambling two storey double pile roughcast rendered and natural slated house. The front pile is gabled with three chimneys while the rear pile has hipped roofs. Further the rear pile gables do not coincide with those at the front. The front pile is four bays long with a flat roof projecting over a porch occupying the third bay from the west. The other bays have flat bow type windows with low ground floor cill, a slated canopy at first floor level and the bow continuing up to form an upper window. Each window is divided in nine almost square panes. Small brackets on each side support the canopies. Canopies are repeated at eaves to protect bows. Above the porch there is a six pane casement window. There is no eaves overhang except for a half round metal gutter. There is no fenestration on the gables. In the angle between the west gable and the projection of the rear pile is a two storey flat roofed porch which is the main entrance to the dwelling. The rear pile is two parts, that portion behind the principal porch a lower pitched hipped roof which joins onto a hipped or pyramidal roof which covers that part of the house over the kitchen. To the rear there is a variety of windows, casement, sliding sash, french, the latter gives access to a walled garden enclosing 1200 sq metres with a three metre high wall built of a mixture of brick and stone. The house is set close to the roadside separated from it by a high hedge and in front of the main entrance and to the side of it a partial enclosed court. The views upstream from the house are superb over Culmore Bay and the narrows and looking directly south towards the lofty Foyle Bridge.
