Description
Mill House is a magical countryside retreat on circa 6 Acres / 2.43 Hectares, comprising gardens, paddocks and river frontage to the Kings River.
This enchanting home is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
The property is conveniently located in the townland of Newtown which is in the parish of Kells in County Kilkenny.
The original Mill House was built circa 1680 to 1750 by the Sweetman family who also owned the nearby Newtown Castle.
The current owners purchased Mill House in 2006 and carried out major renovations which were completed to an extremely high specification and standard with incredible attention to detail. The works carried out include the addition of the downstairs bathroom, replacing all window with Swedex window, handcrafted kitchen, bookcases, wardrobes and bathroom cabinets, all from Castle Cabinets. All bathroom fixture and fitting are from Fired Earth and the Imperial Bathroom Company.
The light-filled and spacious layout extends to 205 Sq. M. / 2,207 Sq. Ft. approx. spanning over two levels. The layout at ground floor comprises: entrance hall, guest WC, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, inner hall, study, bedroom one. Two staircases lead up to the first-floor level which comprises: two landing area, three double bedrooms, bathroom and a walk-in hot press.
GARDENS AND LAND:
Mill House sits peacefully on circa 6 Acres / 2.43 Hectares on magnificent sun-drenched gardens with adjoining paddocks with extensive river frontage to the Kings River, which is a tributary of the river Nore.
The gardens are dotted with specimen trees and shrubs and hedging, including Weeping Willow, Alder, Ash, Sycamore, Hawthorn (pink and white), climbing roses (Rosa Dublin Bay) and Privet hedges.
Wildlife thrives in this natural sanctuary, with regular sightings of Kingfishers, Herons, Otters, Salmon & Trout fish throughout the year. The property comes with fishing rights.
Mill House is well set back from the road and is accessed through black wrought-iron vehicular entrance gates (electronic motor needs to be replaced). A gravelled driveway leads up to the property and outbuildings where there is plenty of secure parking.
The front gardens are well planted with colourful heathers, herbaceous and flowering plants and trees including a Japanese maple. A sun-drenched flagstone patio area is perfect for al-fresco dining and entertaining, or to enjoy the magical views of the Kings River and the sound of running water.
A large sun-drenched and sheltered lawned area further down the garden past the house is perfect as a children's play area. Again, this area has extensive river frontage to the Kings River.
The are a range of useful outbuildings including two barns, the larger of the two is currently used as a work studio, both barns have power and plug sockets. A row of stone outbuildings consists of a laundry room which has plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer. The second and third outbuildings comprise a fuel house and a pump house which also houses the water softener.
A large sun-drenched decked area accessed from bedrooms three and four has magnificent views of the gardens, paddocks, Kings River and the surrounding picturesque countryside. Steps leap up to a vegetable garden/orchard which is well stocked with Apple, Plum, Pear and Cherry trees. A Cedar wood potting shed and raised vegetable beds are located at the end of the orchard.
The bulk of the six acres is made up of two islands along with a mill stream, relief stream and mainstem river. The piece of land across the road is accessed from under the bridge from the main holding.
