Ross McParland is showing 30 three-bedroom terraced houses at Liffey Valley Park in Lucan, Co. Dublin this weeken.

The new Meadowlands scheme, being developed by Logancourt Properties, will have a total of 67 houses when the smaller three-bed mid-terrace units. These will have 1,060 sq ft and will ideally suit first-time buyers, according to Eoin O'Neill of Ross McParland.

Three-bed end of terrace houses, from £157,995 (200,610), are similar in size, but are on slightly larger sites and have side entrances.

The units are half brick and render, with neat porches and a low brick boundary wall. All the houses have gas-fired central heating, good-quality fitted kitchens and are painted throughout.

Standard features include wall tiling in kitchens and bathrooms, panelled internal doors with brass fittings and a generous fireplace allowance.

The layout of both house types suits a modern lifestyle, with a guest toilet understairs and a good-sized sittingroom to the front.

A large kitchen/diningroom looking out on the garden has enough room for a couple of easy chairs.

Upstairs, one of the three bedrooms has an en suite shower.

To reach Meadowlands, take the slip road after the Foxhunter pub, turn left at the traffic lights, left at the roundabout, right at the next roundabout and right along Ballyowen Lane.
