A view of the kitchen and entrance
porch of the Stationmaster's House from the station garden. The climbing roses provide a burst of
colour all summer long |
| The entrance porch of the
Stationmaster's House showing the upstairs, which contains two bedrooms. |
 |
 |
The single storey area is the old
Station buildings, with the level crossing beyond. There is comfortable parking for two cars, three at
a squash. |
| The unusual alignment of the building
on the garden side, provides several sun-traps. This is the view of Binevenagh from one of them. |
 |
 |
Looking out of the kitchen window,
there is a pretty old stone farmhouse on the far side of the road. |
| Two rooms in the old station opened
directly onto the platform. This corridor was built to create internal access to allow conversion of
those rooms to two bedrooms. The long passage also creates the distance needed to allow Abraham
Lincoln to be seen as Dali intended. |
 |
 |
This room can be used as a double
bedroom or as a sitting room. The bed can fold up into a large comfortable couch. |
| A second view of the Bed/Sittingroom
showing the large half-moon window from which there are stunning views across the fields to the
mountains. |
 |
 |
The second bedroom is also a double
room. Another bright room with two windows overlooking the garden, fields and mountains as a
backdrop. |
| The third bedroom in the station
contains three beds, two single and a double. (A single and the double are in bunks.) It can
comfortably sleep two adults or 4 children. |
 |
 |
The lounge contains a galley style
kitchen with a breakfast bar. Four high stools are provided to facilitate using the counter for
meals. |
| The Lounge also has an area for
dining. Six can eat at the table in comfort and it can fold away neatly if more space is needed. The
room is very bright with windows all along the railway side, providing lovely views across the fields
to Lough Foyle and the hills on Inishowen peninsula. |
 |
 |
The lounge also has plenty of
comfortable seating and the couch here opens into an extra double bed for those unexpected
guests. |
| The entrance to the Station section of
the house is through these half glassed doors which flood the lounge with light in the morning and
early afternoon. This was the passenger entrance to the Station for over 100 years. |
 |
 |
This bright new bathroom was
installed when the Station was renovated in 2005. It is tiled as a wetroom and has fittings to help
visitors with redueced mobility. |
| This is a shot of the same bathroom
taken in the opposite direction, showing the walk-in shower. |
