A NEWLY restored house, called The River Cottage, on the quayfront at St Mullins, Co Carlow, is for sale through PN O'Gorman Estate Agents.

The current owners sourced many of its features - which include granite windowsills and clever panelling in the living area - though architectural salvage outlets.

The interior decoration has given the cottage a bright, airy and contemporary feel.

An open-plan living area includes a livingroom with a fireplace, and a kitchen with cream kitchen units, a solid wood work surface, and integrated appliances.

Upstairs, there are two good sized single bedrooms, a double bedroom, and a shower room.

To the front of the house is a sunny patio area, and to the back there is a small yard.

The property is being offered for sale by private treaty, with an asking price of €265, 000.

St Mullins is a picturesque village in south Carlow on the River Barrow. The 7th century monastery town has a number of attractions such as short walks, medieval church ruins, a heritage centre, and an 18-hole golf course.
