THE setting couldn't be more romantic, amidst one acre of woodland with a waterfall and river within its boundaries. Altnapaste Mill is an old converted corn mill at Welchtown, Co Donegal, dating back to 1838, and sympathetically restored by the current owners to a four-bed family home brimful with period charm. Ballyboffey is within five minutes drive while the River Finn is literally a few minutes away.
The original stone walls give the property an immense, old world character. Equally striking architecturally are the original ceiling beams, subtly enhanced by the addition of newer beams in many of the rooms.
The very large, country style kitchen is particularly appealing, with pale blue hand painted presses with timber work tops and enamel sink. A modern touch are the glazed double doors to the garden. The utility room is equally spacious and period style with a Belfast sink and wooden drainers.
Accommodation comprises an entrance hall with limestone floor, characterful living room with open, stone fireplace and double, oak panel doors to the garden, home office, utility, guest cloakroom, kitchen/dining room, master bedroom with en-suite and balcony overlooking garden, three further bedrooms, en-suite and main bathroom with black and white tiling, blue painted walls and Victorian-style sanitaryware.
