Co Wexford: €275,000Making an appearance on the books of Warren Estates Real Estate Alliance is Motabeg Mill, a picturesque period property near Enniscorthy in Co Wexford.

The asking price of €275,000 takes into account that money needs to be spent on making the cottage habitable while restoring the mill building would also be costly. The mill was sold for around the same amount last summer, but the sale fell through and it's once again on the market. In a secluded spot, the property comprises the old stone flour mill, a rose and ivy-covered derelict cottage and tiled outbuildings. A stream flows alongside the mill and grounds total over an acre. The 372 sq m (4,000 sq ft) mill building was in operation in the 1950s and the structure is still in good order, with its mill wheel intact.

Postcard pretty on the outside, the cottage's interior has no water or sewerage, so needs work. There is a sittingroom with open fireplace. Another sittingroom has stairs to the first floor landing and the kitchen is long. A bathroom is on the half landing and four bedrooms are on the next level. Outside, old outbuildings could be converted.

To view, travel 1.5 miles on the N11 from Enniscorthy to Wexford. Turn left after the hospital, left again and the mill is on the right.
