Poulnamurrish/€900,000: Having the Avonmore River at the bottom of the garden is reason alone to be interested in Poulnamurrish, a four-bedroom plus study detached house on 19 acres at Laragh, Co Wicklow.

HOK Country is expecting to achieve €900,000 at auction on July 15th for this substantial 334.4 sq m (3,600 sq ft) property, which is in need of some interior work.

The setting would delight any nature lover, with views over the rushing river to the mountains beyond. A summer house and quaintly named honey parlour are in the extensive grounds, which include a vegetable garden, lawns and former orchard.
