Nestled in the tranquil and picturesque village of Knockcroghery in County Roscommon, this delightful family home awaits its new owners. Just minutes from the larger towns of Athlone and Roscommon, this property offers the perfect blend of rural charm and urban convenience. As a busy real estate agent with my phone ringing off the hook, let me take just a little bit of your time to share with you why this house could be exactly what you've been looking for.
First and foremost, this is not just any house; it's a wonderful detached family home that spans an impressive 230 square meters. Located on a generous 0.54-acre site, it provides ample space for both comfort and entertaining. Starting off our tour, you enter through the welcoming front internal porchway, which immediately gives you a sense of the home’s warm ambiance.
Now, let's wander into the heart of the home - the open plan Kitchen, Dining, and Sitting room. This space is functionally designed for both casual family dinners and bustling dinner parties with friends. A separate Conservatory allows natural light to burst in, perfect for viewing the lovely garden in any season. Ah, and don't let me forget, there’s an additional utility room for all those chores we all pretend to love!
The ground floor also hosts two of the home’s five bedrooms, ideal for guests or transforming one into that ever-elusive home office. Moving upstairs, you’ll find three more bedrooms. Among these, two enjoy their own ensuite bathrooms, offering an added touch of privacy and luxury. That leaves us with a spacious family bathroom to service this floor.
Let's talk about the outdoor amenities because they are not to be missed. Externally, you have an elegant natural stone boundary wall at the front, creating a distinct border of your private domain. A charming pebble driveway leads you in, transitioning into a concrete driveway that extends to both the side and the back. In addition to a detached boiler house, you have a large detached garage that could serve as a workspace, storage, or even a mini-gym if you so desire.
Living in Knockcroghery, you're embracing a lifestyle that's serene yet fulfilling. The community is warm, with a rich tapestry of local culture and history. Bide your time wandering through quaint village streets, or head into nearby Athlone or Roscommon for a taste of urban flair. Weekends can see you exploring the scenic countryside, thanks to the central location that simply begs you to explore all that County Roscommon and its surroundings have to offer.
The climate here is typically Irish—mild, with an abundance of lush greenery all around. It offers you the full four seasons without the extremes, something that adds both wonder and comfort to living here. And believe me, there's nothing like curling up with a book in your new Conservatory as rain taps gently against the glass.
For those moving from abroad, this home's location offers a true sense of community without sacrificing the conveniences of modern life. You'll quickly find that you’re part of something much larger than just a home. The rich Irish culture is palpable here, and it's your ticket to an embraced, slower-paced, yet highly engaging lifestyle.
