MAKING A LIST of pros and cons often comes in handy for anyone on the market to buy a new home. Easy access to a town, plenty of activities at arm’s reach, great views and, often most importantly, budget-friendliness all come into play.
In terms of price, one home to consider could be 8 Bastion Quay, a large three-bed apartment that’s just minutes from the bustling town of Athlone. It’s now on the market for €235,000.
Flanking the banks of the River Shannon, Athlone is the perfect base from which to explore Ireland’s lakes and rivers. The Bastion Quay development serves as the ideal starting off point. Double doors open out from the lounge onto the balcony that soaks up views of the river.
A look inside and it becomes instantly clear that space and light are on this apartment’s side. Set against a crisp white colour palette, the sitting room that flows into the adjoining kitchen promotes easy entertaining and keeps things social.
Each of the three double bedrooms are nice in size, upping the ante when it comes to apartment living. The master enjoys built-in wardrobes and direct access to the roomy balcony, too.
Often dubbed the heart of Ireland, Athlone’s central geographical location and rich cultural heritage may pique the interest of discerning first-time and seasoned buyers, alike.
Not only is it home to the well-known Luan Gallery and Dean Crowe Theatre, plenty of shops and your pick of water sports and nature trails, access to the N6 means it’s a town that serves as an ideal base for hassle-free trips, east or west. And scenic sojourns to the surrounding lakelands might become the norm. With an abundance of things to see and do, pretty soon, you’ll notice that list of pros getting longer.
