Kinsealy/from €360,000: A new development next door to picturesque Kinsealy church and opposite Abbeville, the estate of former Taoiseach Charles Haughey, opens for business today. Abbey Well, a small estate of just 51 units, is selling from plans at the Lucan and Ballsbridge offices of Gunne New Homes.

On offer are 12 two-bedroom apartments of 62-78sq m (664-849sq ft) priced from €360,000. Also three-bedroom apartments of 92-99sq m (993-1,085sq ft) from €395,000. Three-bed townhouses of 109sq m (1,173sq ft) start at €425,000 and two-bedroom bungalows of 100sq m (1,085sq ft) at €600,000.

There are 30 three-bedroom townhouses, 12 two-bed apartments and two each of the three-bedroom apartments and bungalows.

Abbey Well is by Kinsealy Homes, part of the huge Lynam Group which was responsible for Seabury, Castleheath, Millford, Gainsborough and Killeen in the Malahide area.

Exteriors will be of period-style redbrick and a strong standard of finish is promised. Bathroom ware will be by Laufen Pro, kitchen units (not yet decided) will be high-spec and grounds will be professionally landscaped. Wardrobes are included and central heating will be gas.

Main bedrooms will include an en suite shower room. Downlighters are another standard feature at Abbey Well and the units come wired for an alarm and multi-room entertainment.

The townhouses and bungalows will have small front lawns and cobblelocked parking, with a town-sized private back garden levelled and seeded. Apartments all have balconies.

This is the first residential development to be offered for sale for some time in the village of Kinsealy, so interest should be strong. Completions are expected from September this year through to early 2006.
