Description
DNG Begley are delighted to bring to the market this exceptional residential site in the highly sought-after Hodson Bay area, just outside Athlone, Co. Roscommon. The site benefits from full planning permission for the construction of a two-storey detached dwelling, offering an excellent opportunity to create a substantial family home in a beautiful countryside setting with expansive views over Louth Ree.
The proposed residence is an impressive contemporary two-storey detached dwelling, designed with a strong emphasis on modern living, natural light and seamless connection between the internal and external spaces. The accommodation is thoughtfully laid out, with generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas on the upper floor, in order to take advantage of the views over the lake and maximise daylight in the living spaces. Well-proportioned en suite bedroom accommodation and bathrooms on the lower floor. Extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing is a prominent feature throughout, creating bright and spacious interiors, while the first-floor terrace/balcony provides an attractive outdoor space. The proposed exterior combines natural stone detailing with contemporary timber cladding and clean architectural lines, giving the house a distinctive and modern appearance that sits comfortably within its landscaped setting. The design also incorporates extensive patio areas and carefully considered planting, with the potential for automated gates all creating an attractive private environment around the dwelling.
Situated in the scenic Hodson Bay area on the shores of Lough Ree, the site enjoys an attractive balance between countryside living and convenient access to Athlone town. Hodson Bay is renowned for its natural beauty and range of leisure amenities, with the surrounding area incorporating Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone Golf Club, a marina and watersports facilities.
The location is particularly appealing for those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, with Lough Ree providing opportunities for boating, fishing and other watersports, while the surrounding countryside offers a wealth of scenic walking and recreational opportunities. Nearby Hodson Bay Hotel provides further leisure, dining and spa facilities, while Baysports offers a range of watersports and outdoor activities.
Despite its peaceful rural setting, the site is only approximately 5 minutes' drive from Athlone town, providing convenient access to the town's extensive range of shops, restaurants, cafés, schools, sporting facilities and services. Athlone also provides excellent connectivity to both Dublin and Galway via the M6 motorway and Athlone Train station making the location particularly attractive for those seeking a home within easy reach of the Midlands' principal towns and cities.
With planning permission already granted for a two-storey detached dwelling, a superb lakeside location and excellent accessibility to Athlone, this is an exciting opportunity to build a bespoke home in one of the area's most desirable locations.
