Co Kildare: €242,000-€339,000 A new phase of homes at the Sallins Pier scheme in the village of Sallins near Naas, Co Kildare is launching this week through Sherry FitzGerald O'Reilly with prices starting at €242,000.

Homes in this phase overlook the Grand Canal and are a short walk from the village's railway station which offers an Arrow rail service to Dublin.

Included in this phase are three-bedroom mid-terrace homes with 86 sq m (925 sq ft) of accommodation priced from €242,000.

Three-bedroom end-of-terrace homes with 95 sq m (1,024 sq ft) cost from €269,950 while three-bedroom detached homes of the same size are priced from €285,000.

The remaining house types on offer are a three-bedroom semi-detached house of 101 sq m (1,091 sq ft) priced from €295,000 and a four-bedroom semi-detached home of 121 sq m (1,306 sq ft) which costs €339,000.

With over 170 homes in this development already sold - notching up sales of some €30 million - Sallins Pier has so far proved a popular development with buyers. It offers the charms of village life with all the facilities of Naas two miles away.

Sallins Pier is less than 20 miles from Dublin and has easy access to the N7 and N4. The ambitious €500 million Millennium Park business campus on a 200-acre site is nearby, as are the Intel and Hewlett Packard plants at Leixlip.

Recreational facilities closeby include motor racing at Mondello, golf at the K Club, lots of horse-related past-times and fishing in the Grand Canal.

Standard features at Sallins Pier include fitted kitchens, fitted wardrobes, and allowances for tilling, painting and a fireplace.

The developer, Cary Construction Limited, has opted for a scheme of short rows and cul-de-sac formations with extensive use of open space.

Cary Construction Limited's previous schemes include the nearby Sallins Wharf and Grove Paddock in Blackrock.
