Three houses with a mill thrown in for luck
Poulmounty Mill, New Ross, Wexford
If it was just a house you were looking for, this property offers at least three, with 10 bedrooms between them. In addition, though, there’s the small matter of a 5,000sq.ft, three-storey mill building with its own turbine set on five acres.
Agents for the Poulmounty Mill , REA Dawson, say the building would obviously need some work but offers an ‘enterprising purchaser’ huge potential for either a conversion to a residential building or for some commercial or tourism use.
It was a working woollen mill until the 1960s and though not currently used for generating power, still has a mill race, wheel and turbine that make this a possibility.
Either way, however, the three houses are described as being in good condition and two are currently occupied by the vendors – coming to market in vacant possession. The largest of the three, the main house adjacent to the mill, features the traditional barn-door style entry into the main kitchen/living area, three sitting rooms and a tiled sun room.
The two other houses, the ‘guest cottage’ and ‘corn mill house’ are both two-bed detached buildings.
The site itself is secluded on the Aughananna and Poulmounty Rivers on the Carlow/Wexford border on the R729. Standing on circa 5.5 acres, nearby amenities include golf, fishing, horse riding and swimming.
