Property: Rural renovation opportunity with real potential in Glasson

DNG Begley is delighted to bring this bungalow in Killinure, Glasson, Athlone, to the market.

According to the agent, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow set within a peaceful countryside location, surrounded by some of the finest natural amenities in the Midlands.

Having been unoccupied for a number of years, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to take on a renovation project and create a home tailored entirely to their own requirements.

The generous site, existing accommodation and attached garage provide a superb foundation for transformation, while eligible purchasers may also benefit from the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to meeting the requirements of the scheme.

The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, spacious living room, three well-proportioned bedrooms, wet room and attached garage. The garage provides valuable additional storage and may offer scope for conversion to further living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission.

Perhaps the greatest attraction of Killinure is its setting. Located just 1.6km from Portlick Forest, the property is ideally positioned for those who enjoy walking, cycling and the outdoors, with woodland trails and beautiful lakeside scenery close at hand.

The picturesque village of Glasson, renowned as the “Village of the Roses”, is just 3.9km away and offers a strong community atmosphere along with local amenities.

The shores of Lough Ree are also within easy reach, providing an enviable setting for boating, fishing, kayaking and a wide range of waterside activities. For those who require access to larger urban centres, Athlone is approximately a 20-minute drive, offering an extensive selection of shops, restaurants, schools, employment opportunities and excellent transport connections.

Ballymahon and Centre Parcs Longford Forest are also approximately 15km away.

Properties offering this combination of rural tranquillity, generous potential and proximity to Lough Ree, Glasson and Athlone rarely come to the market. Whether it is to become a permanent family residence, a countryside getaway or a renovation project with the potential to create substantial added value, Killinure offers purchasers the opportunity to put their own stamp on a property in a particularly attractive part of Westmeath.

Killinure is a property with plenty of potential – and for the right purchaser, it could be the starting point for creating a truly special home.

The asking price for the property is €335,000.
