Avoid the daily grind

NOT a run of the mill property by any standard - Washpool Mill is the kind of big, rambling, old house that lots of people dream of - and it’s for sale.

Anyone shopping for a house with character, land and a mill-pond to boot might consider this property at Pallaskenry, Co Limerick which is on the market with a 500,000 guide.

Washpool Mill was on the market last year, but was withdrawn from sale. Now the boards are back up again and the agent in charge is Pat Kearney of Rooney Auctioneers. With almost 3,000 square feet of space and three acres of ground, this property is no small house and it’s also in excellent condition with some lovely old features, says Mr Kearney.
