Since the turn of the year, Room to Improve has returned to our screens and generated plenty of debate about property and upgrades.
While this contemporary lakeside home overlooking Inner Lakes Marina at Killinure, just outside Glasson in Co Westmeath, looks like it could have had the Dermot Bannon touch, the reality is there’s not much Room to Improve when it comes to making this outstanding 4 bed home much better.
Boasting an A1 energy rating and 216sqm of living space, the picturesque location of this fabulous home just adds to its appeal, nestled in beautiful countryside on the shores of Lough Ree.
Within walking distance of Glasson Lakehouse Golf and Spa Resort and Killinure Chalets, it is its proximity to the private Inner Lakes (also known as Quigley’s Marina) that will have boating enthusiasts interested.
Not only can you see the marina and lakes from the kitchen island, you can also be on your craft on the water within minutes, which will take you off exploring the Lough Ree lake system.
Designed by Blair Adamson of MMA Architects, construction on the site began in 2019 with the new owners moving into the home in May 2020.
The property, which was built in a U shape, sits on an acre and was designed for contemporary living with a spacious kitchen/living/dining room forming the central block. At each end lies a wing: one with two bedrooms and a study, with the main bedroom, laundry room, pantry and sitting room in the other. The main bedroom benefits from a south-facing aspect, and its views over the lake mean owners can watch boats go by from the comfort of their bed.
The fact that it is U-shaped allows a sheltered courtyard-type setting to the rear of the property.
A significant amount of light floods into all the rooms, many of which benefit from dual aspect thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and a number of patio doors, and a south-facing aspect.
The kitchen includes beautifully crafted units with quartz worktops and also a pantry with shelving. There are three bedrooms, all ensuite and a sitting room which can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom.
The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a south-facing window with views over the lake and surrounding countryside. The utility and boot-room is finished to a high standard of craftmanship, with decorative wood panelling.
Just 10km from Athlone, the property is almost equidistant from both Galway and Dublin, with the local train station just 12km away. There are also three primary schools in the vicinity and all that Glasson has to offer, including the award winning Wineport Lodge.
The lakeside setting with a private marina will have those with a penchant for boating interested in this offering. The safe, secure and sheltered harbour on the shores of Lough Ree has floating jetties, and offers boat repairs and dry docking. It also has Blue Flag status.
This really is a dream home that wows from start to finish.
