Mark Nestor Property Services are truly delighted to present this exceptional and rare countryside holding to the market – a beautifully restored 200+ year-old cottage set on approximately 20 acres in the highly sought-after area of Coosan, Athlone, with direct walking access to the shores of Lough Ree and Coosan Point.
This is a property that offers far more than just a home – it presents a lifestyle. Whether you are seeking a tranquil lakeside rural retreat, an equestrian haven, a sailing and boating hub, or a unique opportunity to create a truly special oasis, this outstanding holding delivers on every level.
The charming detached cottage has been completely renovated in 2023/24, combining modern comfort with timeless character. Externally, its lime-plastered stone walls and its stone walled entrance gateway echo its rich heritage. Upgrades include a new roof, full insulation, replumbing, new electrical wiring and meter, and efficient underfloor heating, ensuring the property is both comfortable and energy-conscious while preserving its historic charm.
Internally, the cottage retains beautiful original features that give it a warm and authentic feel, including a striking open yellow brick hearth and chimney breast. Accommodation currently comprises two bedrooms, with a mezzanine floor offering potential for a third bedroom over the kitchen area.
Adding to the appeal is the opportunity to extend the property to the south-facing aspect, incorporating the adjoining old stone sheds (subject to the necessary planning permission), allowing a purchaser to further enhance and personalise the home.
The extensive roadside frontage as well as deeper into the land, accessed by separate large gates and a winding driveway, the large shed offers further conversion potential, again subject to planning, making this a highly versatile property with scope for expansion.
For those with equestrian or agricultural interests, the grounds are a standout feature. The lands extend to approximately 20 acres and include a well-equipped yard with six stables, a tack room, and an internal riding area, making it ideal for horse enthusiasts.
The property benefits from separate mains water provisions for the cottage and stables, with infrastructure in place for further connections, and electrical wiring already laid for easy installation to the sheds/stables if required.
Positioned in the ever-popular Coosan area of Athlone, this property enjoys the perfect balance of rural privacy and accessibility, with direct access to Lough Ree and Coosan Point, while Athlone town centre, the M6 motorway, and all essential amenities are just a short drive away.
