GLEN Boann, a new development in Mornington, Co Meath, is named after the goddess of the River Boyne and is aimed at first-time buyers either working in nearby Drogheda or commuting to Dublin.

The first 14 homes at the 60-unit scheme, being developed by Wonderglade, will go on the market tomorrow week. All the 14 houses are three-beds and are available in terraced, semi-detached and detached styles. Prices which include flooring and appliances, start at €277,000 for a terraced home, at €285,000 for a semi, and at €305,000 for a detached house.

The block-built houses have low-maintenance external elevations, double-glazed windows with UPVC frames, landscaping to the front garden and communal open spaces, and allocated parking. Large hardwood-style glazed patio doors open from the rear to a private back garden.

Internally, the kitchen comes with soft-close doors and drawers and integrated appliances such as a hob, an oven, a fridge-freezer and a dishwasher. In the adjoining utility room, the fitted units and worktops match those in the kitchen. There is also a guest WC on this level.

White sanitaryware with polished chrome brassware has been fitted to the main bathroom and the master ensuite.

The A3-rated homes have an energy-efficient air-to-water heating and hot water system.

Traffic permitting, commuters can reach the centre of Drogheda in 15 minutes, while the M1 provides access to Dublin city in 45 minutes.

Two showhouses will be on view from 11am to 1pm on February 16 and from 2pm to 4pm on February 17.
