Vivienda Unifamiliar | Rebaja
Jordan Auctioneers are delighted to present Drimona, 4 Chanterlands, a substantial four-bedroom detached residence extending to approximately 170 sq. m (1,832 sq. ft) and occupying a generous, mature site of circa 0.2 acres in this established residential setting just off the Carlow Road in Athy.
Offering spacious accommodation, a large private rear garden and excellent potential for its next owner, Drimona presents a rare opportunity to acquire a detached home within walking distance of Athy town centre and railway station.
LOCATION Drimona enjoys an excellent position at Chanterlands, just off the Carlow Road in Athy, combining the character and maturity of an established residential setting with the convenience of having the town centre close at hand.
Chanterlands is a mature and settled residential area where homes, gardens and boundaries have had decades to establish, creating an attractive sense of space and permanence that can be difficult to replicate in newer developments.
A particular advantage is the proximity of Athy town centre and Athy Railway Station, both within easy walking distance. Shops, cafés, schools, services, sporting facilities and other everyday amenities are readily accessible, while the railway station provides convenient rail services to Dublin Heuston, making the location particularly attractive for commuters.
The River Barrow and its walking routes provide an attractive recreational amenity close to home, while recent investment and regeneration in Athy, including improvements to historic Emily Square and the redevelopment of the former Heritage Centre and Town Hall as the Shackleton Experience, have further enhanced the town centre and its cultural and heritage offering.
For a wider choice of shopping and leisure amenities, Kildare Village, Carlow, Portlaoise and Newbridge are all readily accessible, generally within approximately 25?35 minutes' drive, depending on traffic.
Road connectivity has also been significantly improved by the Athy Distributor Road, providing easier access around the town and convenient connections to the wider road network.
For purchasers seeking the space and independence of a detached home without sacrificing the convenience of town living, Chanterlands offers an increasingly difficult combination to find.
THE PROPERTY Built in the early 1960s and extending to approximately 170 sq. m (1,832 sq. ft), Drimona has been carefully maintained, improved and extended over the intervening years and today provides comfortable and flexible family accommodation.
A number of the original rooms have been upgraded over time, including the main bathroom, dining room and Bedroom 1, while an extension constructed in the mid-2000s incorporated the breakfast area, utility room and an additional bedroom, enhancing both the size and versatility of the accommodation.
While comfortable in its present form, the property's proportions, layout and generous site also offer excellent potential for a purchaser wishing to modernise, remodel or reconfigure the accommodation to suit their own requirements, with further potential to extend, subject to the necessary planning permission.
The rendered exterior is complemented by PVC fascia, soffits, gutters and downpipes, a concrete tiled roof and aluminium composite double-glazed windows. The front of the residence enjoys a southerly aspect, while the high dormer-style roof may also lend itself to the future installation of solar panels.
Internally, the accommodation is generous and well laid out, offering an excellent balance of reception, living and bedroom space. The improvements and additions carried out over the years have enhanced the overall layout, while the house retains considerable flexibility for a purchaser looking to introduce their own style and specification.
The combination of substantial existing accommodation and a generous, mature site provide an excellent foundation for the future. Whether enjoyed largely as it stands, updated gradually, comprehensively remodelled to create more contemporary living spaces or potentially extended, Drimona offers the flexibility to create a home tailored to the individual requirements of its next owners.
WORKSHOP & STORES A further advantage of Drimona is the workshop 32.4 metres squared, and additional stores situated within the rear garden. The workshop provides valuable ancillary space suitable for a variety of uses, including DIY projects, hobbies, gardening equipment, bicycles, additional household storage or practical workspace.
For purchasers who enjoy working on projects at home, require dedicated hobby space or simply value having considerably more storage than is typically available with a modern property, the workshop and stores are an especially useful addition.
