Fields of gold
A small collection of five-bed homes just added to Churchfields will appeal hugely to larger families with an eye on the popular Ashbourne development
FAMILIES who need that extra bit of space can now put down roots in the hugely popular Churchfields development in Ashbourne, Co Meath.
Cairn Homes plc has just launched a handful of luxury, five-bed detached homes in the development from €475,000, selling alongside the remainder of their very popular four-bed houses currently on offer there from €355,000. A further phase of three and four-bed houses is planned for release in September.
This latest addition to Churchfields is an elegant collection of just five homes that have the growing family very much in mind. The spacious houses include all the features Churchfields homes are renowned for, along with some carefully chosen enhancements.
All come with top-quality features designed to enhance modern family life. Large, high-performance windows fill the rooms with natural light, while high ceilings give the feeling of luxurious space throughout. Each house includes large and bright kitchens and bathrooms, well-designed utility rooms and excellent storage space in every room.
Extra features in the five-bed houses include Spanish porcelain tiling on floors and wet area walls in all bathrooms; Hampton-style kitchens in Haze Grey, featuring Frostina quartz worktops and under-mounted sink and fluted drainer; and luxurious wardrobes from Cawley Furniture’s Curragh range.
Cairn Homes’ multi award-winning landscape architects have designed an outdoor environment at Churchfields that is both easy on the eye as well as supportive of biodiversity and the local ecosystem. Native trees combine with rich mixed beds of flowering shrubs, grasses and perennials to attract bees, butterflies and birds. The low-maintenance outdoor spaces are designed to enhance the homes, ensuring that families can enjoy the best of nature on their doorsteps.
Situated in the thriving town of Ashbourne, Co Meath, Churchfields benefits from a range of local shops and amenities as well as excellent transport links to Dublin and beyond. Families are especially well catered for in this welcoming town. Nearby schools include Coláiste De Lacy, Gaelscoil na Mí, Ashbourne Educate Together and St Declan’s National School. And for extra-curricular fun, there’s always Tayto Park just outside the town.
Sports fans young and old are spoilt for choice in Ashbourne. Golfers can choose from an abundance of excellent courses in the area, including Killeen Castle, St Margaret’s Golf & Country Club, Corrstown Golf Club and, of course, Ashbourne Golf Club. Thriving rugby, soccer, cricket and GAA clubs in the area cater for all ages and levels, enhancing the strong community spirit here.
Ashbourne is only 20 kilometres from Dublin city centre, while the M2 motorway connects to the M50, and from there to the national road network. A fast and regular bus service connects Ashbourne to Dublin and its surrounding areas.
Energy efficiency is a priority at Churchfields. All homes maximise thermal efficiency with high levels of roof, walls and floor insulation; leading air-sealing products; excellent air tightness levels; low energy use ventilation systems; high performance windows; and quality construction methodology as standard. All these features combine to create an A3 energy rating with an estimated cost to the homeowners of less than €2 per day for heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation.
All homes are fitted with demand control ventilation systems. This is a whole-house ventilation system that quietly and efficiently monitors indoor air quality and matches the ventilation rate with demand. Moist air is extracted through a quiet, efficient, constant-extract fan in the attic space. The system automatically responds to moisture levels in the dwelling, increasing and decreasing the amount of air being extracted to suit the owner’s activities. Fresh air is introduced to the rooms via humidity-sensitive acoustic wall inlets. This system ensures excellent indoor air quality without any ongoing maintenance requirements, while consuming less energy than a typical light bulb.
As a developer, Cairn Homes plc prides itself on building quality houses that stand the test of time, and it believes that nowhere is this more evident than in Churchfields. “We work with the very best craftspeople, processes and materials to build homes that are designed to be enjoyed by families as they grow and develop, both now and in the future.”
