Co Wicklow: Sherry FitzGerald Miles Doyle is seeking offers in the region of €495,000 for a refurbished Georgian three-bedroom house on two-thirds of an acre at Woodenbridge in Co Wicklow.

The Mill House, which dates from the late 1700s, sits on an elevated site with views of surrounding woodland.

It is about half a mile from the Woodenbridge Hotel and Golf Course and within a short drive of Arklow, Avoca and Aughrim.

The two-storey house is not particularly large at 137 sq m (1,480 sq ft) but it has a traditional layout with two good-sized reception rooms leading off an elegant hallway.

Both are well proportioned rooms with ceiling cornices, open fireplaces and polished timber floors.

At the back of the house is the kitchen with its Shaker-style units, smart mosaic tiling and spacious dining area with French doors to the garden.

There is also a utility room and a bathroom on the ground floor.

The hallway's cream-painted tongue and groove panelling continues upstairs where the bedrooms lead off a wide landing lit by a tall sash window.

The main bedroom has fine views of the garden with its giant pair of monkey puzzle trees. The en suite bathroom can also be accessed from the landing.

The two remaining bedrooms are both doubles and both have polished floors and a restful neutral decor.

A gravelled patio and deck area has been landscaped to take advantage of the lovely valley views.
