Outside, an electronic gated entrance leads to the gravel forecourt with an abundance of parking, the surrounding grounds are secluded and landscaped with a formal boxed hedged gardens, extensive lawns and woodland. and close to the rear of the house there is an original ballroom which has a large sheltered patio area perfect for outdoor entertaining.   A Victorian metal bridge crosses the mill race to an island between the gardens and the River Liffey and the magical woodland is bursting with bluebells and other wild flowers-perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors. Meanwhile, next to the old mill outbuildings there is a sheltered paddock perfect for looking after ponies.   "Temple Mills House” is located on the Temple Mills Road only 1km from the historic Celbridge village and the area offers excellent choices for schools, shops, sports clubs, and amenities.
