First-time buyers from Dublin are already beating a path to a new development at Gorey, Co Wexford, where three-bed semis are on offer at £127,500 (161,890).
The Ardmore scheme, available through Warren Estates and located off the Carnew Road about half a mile from Main Street, includes 57 houses - with four different styles and prices.
Apart from the starter semis, there are detached four-bed houses at £149,000 (189,190), four-bed dormer bungalows at £159,000 (201,890) and one detached four-bed with an extra family room for £167,500 (212,680). Young first-timers will probably target the three-bed semis costing £127,500 (161,890), which at 1,145 sq ft are reasonably roomy.
The detached four-beds have 1,345 sq ft of floor space and cost £149,000 (189,190). Like the smaller houses, these have brick and rendered exteriors, with hanging tile detail and box bay windows. Four-bed dormer bungalows - a popular style in Co Wexford - cost £159,000 (201,890). With 1,590 sq ft of space and priced at £167,500 (212,680), the detached four-beds, with additional reception rooms, will ideally suit a growing family.
