Property: A stunning family home in one of Athlone’s most desirable locations
There are certain properties that offer more than simply a place to live, and Castleboy, Auburn, on the Dublin Road in Athlone, is one such home.
Set within an established and highly regarded residential setting, this substantial detached residence combines impressive family accommodation, generous outdoor space and a level of modern energy efficiency rarely found in a property of its scale.
Currently presented as a seven-bedroom, four-bathroom home, Castleboy offers exceptional flexibility for modern family life.
The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall, spacious sitting room, separate dining room, large, fitted kitchen, utility room, guest WC and a generous bedroom.
Upstairs, six further bedrooms provide considerable accommodation, including a principal bedroom with en-suite.
One of the upstairs rooms is currently arranged as a home office, demonstrating the adaptability of the property for those working remotely, while also offering the option of returning it to bedroom use.
What particularly distinguishes Castleboy is the combination of traditional family-home proportions with an impressive suite of modern upgrades.
The property benefits from a 22kW solar PV array, 15kWh battery storage and an Eddi solar diverter, alongside triple-glazed windows and French doors and a Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery system.
Together, these features have been designed to improve comfort and energy efficiency while reducing the home's reliance on conventional energy sources. An EV charging point further complements the property's future-focused specification.
Outside, the property continues to impress. Mature lawned gardens extend around the front and side of the house, creating an unusually generous amount of private outdoor space for a property so conveniently positioned. The detached garage provides valuable additional storage or parking, while the private driveway offers substantial off-street parking.
The appeal of Castleboy is also fundamentally about where it is. Situated on the Dublin Road, the property enjoys the rare combination of a peaceful, established residential environment while remaining within easy reach of Athlone town centre.
Athlone itself provides an extensive range of amenities, from shopping and cafés to restaurants, sporting clubs and recreational facilities. Athlone Town Centre and Athlone Golden Island Shopping Centre provide convenient retail options, while the town's riverside setting and extensive walking routes add another dimension to everyday life.
Connectivity is another major advantage. The Dublin Road provides straightforward access to Athlone and onward connections, while the M6 motorway places both Dublin and Galway within convenient commuting distance.
At €795,000, Castleboy represents a significant and distinctive offering within the Athlone market: a sizeable detached home in an established Dublin Road setting, with the convenience of town living without sacrificing space, privacy or outdoor amenity.
