Presented by REA Hynes ? A Home of Distinction, Character & Potential.
Step into a piece of countryside history with this beautifully maintained home, originally built as a farm manager?s residence. Nestled on a generous 2,000 sq.m. site, this charming property offers old-world character blended with practical living ? just 20 minutes from Athlone and 15 minutes from Ballinasloe.
A long private driveway welcomes you into this charming countryside home, flanked by mature gardens and offering ample parking to the front. Inside, the home exudes warmth and character, starting with a bright entrance hall that opens into a spacious sitting room with bay window and open fireplace, bathed in natural light thanks to its dual-aspect windows.
The separate dining room is a standout feature, boasting a traditional solid fuel range and offering a beautiful outlook over the front garden. An original sash window to the rear adds a touch of authenticity and timeless charm. Just off the dining room, the kitchen enjoys its own dual-aspect windows and leads into a rear hallway, providing direct access to the enclosed rear gardens ? ideal for everyday country living. Off the hallway is a very generously sized ground floor shower room, perfect for modern family needs.
Upstairs, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring dual-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light and provide sweeping countryside views from multiple angles. All bedrooms enjoy serene rural outlooks, making this a true retreat from the bustle of everyday life.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed by a high block wall, offering excellent privacy and security. There are two lean-tos to the rear of the house, as well as the frame of a two-bay hay shed. A further detached outbuilding measuring approximately 20? x 10? is divided into two sections, offering excellent potential for storage, hobbies, or workshop use.
To the front right-hand side of the house is a unique workshop space, forming part of the main residence. Complete with an old fireplace and a loft area, it holds fantastic potential ? whether you wish to restore it as a traditional working shed, repurpose it as a creative or hobby space, or convert it into additional living accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions). Its character and versatility make it a valuable extension of the home.
The property benefits from a private well, a rainwater catchment system, and a septic tank ? offering independence and sustainability. Its location is ideal for families, being just moments from the local national school and within easy reach of both Athlone and Ballinasloe.
Homes like this don?t come to market often ? full of charm, with space, potential, and a wonderful sense of peace.
