Apartment 6, The Mill in Castleknock, Dublin 15, is a ground floor 650 sq ft apartment which is part of a scheme built by Ardmore developments in the early 1990s.

A two-bedroom apartment like this one would have cost around £85,000 (107,950) when the scheme was launched. Apartment 6 is now on the market for £198,000 (251,460) through Sherry FitzGerald.

The Mill can be found by turning left off the Blanchardstown by-pass at Blanchardstown Roundabout and taking the first left after Brady's Pub. The scheme is on the right-hand side and No 6 is in the block on the right.

As the name suggests, the old mill that once stood on that site was converted into a development of 40 apartments and much of the original stone facade was retained.

The development is arranged in two blocks with 40 mostly two-bedroom apartments between them.

There are a few three-bed penthouse apartments as well.

The Mill overlooks the Royal Canal and its occupants are largely young professionals. It is situated between Castleknock and Blanchardstown.

Wooden floors run throughout most of the apartment, from the hall to the living/dining area. The open-plan living area has patio doors leading to the communal garden. The kitchen off the dining area is fitted and fully tiled.

There are two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and the bathroom is half-tiled wall with a bath and power shower attachment.

The development has electronic security gates and communal gardens.

There is a walkway on to the canal and ample car-parking space.

The service charge is £500 (635) per annum.
