The advertisement tells us:

OUTSIDE The Main House was once connected to a cobbled courtyard by curved covered walkways on either side of the main entrance. The walls lead of a former Land Stewart house and the remnants of an old walled garden remain in place offering any new owner, potential to rebuild or extend the existinghouse, subject to planning. There are a number of mowed pathways around Kilderry House that offer a serene and tranquil escape. A pathway leads to Lough Foyle and around the boundary line of Kilderry House.
