A 19th century farmhouse near Arklow, Co Wicklow, which has a handsome millhouse converted to a guest cottage, carries a guide price of £450,000 prior to auction through Jackson-Stops on July 4th.

An hour's drive from Dublin, Glenteige is hidden away at the end of a little used country road, about three miles from the N11 motorway.

The property has five acres of land with views across a valley to the sea. An additional 32 acres of land is available by separate negotiation.

Glenteige was refurbished by the current owners about 20 years ago and is a comfortable home with potential as a fairly grand holiday cottage. The two-storey farmhouse is overshadowed by its splendid cut-stone mill-house, which has a superb double-height arched window set in its gable wall. Entered through a conservatory style porch, the cottage has a large livingroom leading to an open plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The main house has three bedrooms upstairs, all of which share a roomy bathroom leading to its own balcony.

Downstairs, there is a large livingroom with a tiled floor and access to a conservatory that wraps the house on three sides. The livingroom has a big wood-burning stove, with the flue poking up through the ceiling to the main bedroom exiting discreetly into a wall behind a cheval mirror.

Like the livingroom below the bedroom is very bright, with windows on two sides.

The kitchen is a large room with plenty of fitted units built around an oil-fired Aga cooker.

Outside there are several outbuildings set around an enclosed courtyard.
