4 OF A KIND... NEW HOMES TO VIEW
Crosshaven, Cork
THREE new show-homes (four-bed detached/three-bed townhouse and twobed townhouse) in Drake’s Point, a new phase of O’Flynn Construction’s Brightwater development, are available to view by private appointment. Starting prices are: four-bed detached, 179sqm, €462,500; four-bed semi-detached, 128133sqm, €340,000; three-bed mid-terrace 91sqm, €275,000 and three-bed end terrace, 91-101sqm, €300,000. Two-bed townhouses will be available shortly but not in this release. Drake’s Point is an elevated, crescent-shaped site with views of Cork Harbour, Currabinny and Spike Island and the new release is likely to appeal to those looking to trade up from the local area, perhaps from within Brightwater itself.

Donabate, Dublin
THERE are four house-types remaining from phase two available to view in The Paddocks in Donabate: four-bed semi, 145sqm, three-bed semi, 113-117sqm and three-bed terraced, 117sqm, with prices up to €475,000. The Paddocks is well located for beach strolls and nature rambles on a pretty peninsula, half an hour from the city centre and within an easy commute of the airport. Set in the heart of Co Dublin’s market gardening country, the houses, which are clad in Belgian dappled brick and feature Portuguese limestone window sills and surrounds, are arranged around a central crescent and surrounded by grounds designed by award-winning landscape architect Jane McCorkell. This is a family-friendly location in an area offering a good choice of schools.

RANGING in price from €430,000 to €465,000, the remaining units of the second phase are available to view at Glenveagh Homes’ Barnhall Meadows, adjacent to the famous Wonderful Barn. These large, architect-designed, A-rated homes, each have four bedrooms and 136-140sqm of living space. Each house comes with two designated parking spaces. Full flooring and kitchen appliance packages are available. The houses are A3 rated and have air-to-water heat-source pumps. Set within four acres of natural parkland, the development is located close to Leixlip — home to Intel and other large multinational employers — and there is a commuter service to Connolly Station, a 35-minute journey. In all, the scheme is planned for about 200 houses, but this could rise to 450. AGENT: Savills (01) 618 1398
Mount Merrion, Dublin
THE Stables, situated off The Rise in Mount Merrion, a short walk from shops and restaurants, is a development of just 10 homes, seven within the original 300-yearold stable block, and three newly built mews opposite, overlooking a landscaped courtyard. Centurion Homes has carefully restored the stable block — which has a listed facade — so that its historic features form a backdrop to the contemporary interiors, which are decked out with minimalist detailing and bespoke joinery. Three three-bedroom homes remain available and range in price from €875,000 to €1.05m, and all are located in the stable block. Each unit is finished with lime render, handmade traditional windows and period slate roofs and has its own courtyard garden and two parking spaces.
