Mark Nestor Property Services are delighted to present this impressive and character-filled Victorian residence located in the highly sought-after Garden Vale area of Athlone — a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property right in the heart of Athlone town centre.
Built circa 1890, this elegant two-bay Victorian home is full of charm and timeless appeal, boasting a striking full-height canted bay window, attractive stone steps leading to the front entrance and a wealth of original features throughout. Rich in character and history, this is a home with enormous potential for a buyer seeking to restore and modernise a truly special property.
The accommodation is laid out over upper and lower levels, with the main entrance accessed via the original stone steps leading to the first-floor level. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a large and bright entrance hallway which immediately showcases the impressive proportions and character of the home. To the front lies a magnificent drawing room flooded with natural light from the large bay windows, creating an elegant and inviting reception space with beautiful Georgian charm.
To the rear is the kitchen area, along with a separate utility room and convenient WC. The property further benefits from eight spacious bedrooms including ensuites, offering exceptional flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or those seeking generous living space in a central location.
Many original features remain intact throughout the property, including stained glass detailing, high ceilings, period proportions and traditional architectural touches synonymous with homes of this era. While the property would benefit from modernisation and upgrading, it presents an incredible opportunity to create a stunning forever home full of personality and style.
Externally, the property enjoys a large, long and fully enclosed private rear garden — a peaceful and secluded outdoor space rarely found in such a central town location. The property also benefits from a detached garage along with two additional sheds to the rear, providing excellent storage, workshop space or further potential subject to the necessary planning permission. Given its substantial accommodation and prime central location, the property could also lend itself to a variety of uses including an elegant family home or potential guest accommodation/B&B opportunity.
Additional features include oil-fired central heating and double glazed uPVC windows throughout. Parking is via permit parking along with off street parking to the rear.
Garden Vale is one of Athlone’s most established and desirable residential addresses, positioned within walking distance of schools, shops, cafés, restaurants, bars, Athlone Train & Bus Station and every amenity the town has to offer. The M6 Motorway is also easily accessible, providing excellent connectivity to both Dublin and Galway.
