A NEW housing development in Ratoath, Co Meath, is catering for a wide variety of tastes by having no less than five different house types. All the houses in the Woodlands scheme are four-bedroom detached units ranging in price from £215,000 to £270,000. Foley Auctioneers in Dunshaughlin are handling the sales.

Mannion Construction have opted for a mixture of dormer bungalows and two-storey houses to cater for the different needs of families. All the houses have three reception rooms and a study which can also be used as an additional reception area. The overall standard of finish is exceptionally high with tongue-and-groove timber floors upstairs, attractive kitchen units, en suite bathrooms with main bedroom and natural gas central heating. Most of the houses have space for a garage and all of them have front and rear garden walls and paved patio areas. New homes have been selling strongly in Ratoath which is about 15 miles from the city centre.
