Milltown House in Convoy, near Letterkenny, Co . Donegal, was once owned by the co-owner of the adjacent woollen mills. That accounts for its impressive appearance and its size,. A: at 4,000 sq ft it would be is one of the larger houses in and around the town. It is for sale by private treaty through Paul Franklin Associates, who are selling it by private treaty and which is guiding £380,000 (482,500).

The smart looking yellow painted house, which is on two acres of gardens, last changed hands nearly five years ago.

There are four bedrooms upstairs, one of which has an en suite, but there are also and two further rooms downstairs which could, depending on the requirements of the new owners, be used as bedrooms. At present one of these rooms is used as a study.

The largest room in the house is the livingroom. It has a round bay window at one end and is nearly thirty five feet35ft long. It is wood pannelled and has the simple cornicing and picture rails that were popular when the house was built in 1900. There is also a formal diningroom and a family room. Both the livingroom and the diningroom have windows with dual aspects so the rooms are bright and the, with views take of in a great deal of the of the lovely old garden.

The accommodation includes cloakrooms, a large hall, a utility room and good storage. The present owners have decorated the house but new owners will probably want to do some work updating the kitchen, bathroom and ensuite. The agents say that one of the house's strongest selling point is its proximity to Letterkenny which he says is expanding greatly. The original owner's place of work, the old mill is currently being redeveloped as business units.

As the original owner was clearly quite a grand Victorian industrialist, there are wrought iron gates at the entrance to the house and it, which is approached by a curving tarmacadamed drive.
