Donabate/from €550,000: Families wanting to upgrade to a larger home will be interested in Baltra Hall, a small scheme of seven three and four-bedroom houses at Donabate, Co Dublin.
Gunne New Homes will be taking bookings at showhouses which will be open for viewing this weekend.
This development by Rusco is in a cul-de-sac setting and five minutes from a train station to the city, a fact that will encourage commuting families.
Four-bedroom semi-detached houses of 162 sq m ( 1,750 sq ft) start at €550,000. Very spacious three-bedroom detached houses of 213 sq m (2,300 sq ft) start at €790,000.
Developer Rusco is an Irish firm with a long track record of homebuilding in the UK.
The finish at Baltra Hall is exceptional, with brick elevations, good quality kitchens, bathrooms and wardrobes and good insulation.
The landscaping is particularly good: homes will come completely planted, with cobblelocking to the front and decks to the rear.
Granite kitchen worktops are also standard in the detached houses.
