Seabrook Manor is under construction on Station Road, conveniently across from Portmarnock DART station. The location is a huge draw, with some of the best golf courses in the country minutes from the site. Sailing, tennis, football, cycling, horse-riding and rugby are also available in the area.

Sizes are good and units are bright on this development, which is being built by Barina Construction, developers of Furry Park on Howth Road, Larch Hill in Santry and Rochford Abbey in Kill.

A typical two-bedroom apartment has an open-plan sittingroom / diningroom / kitchen with oak units and a range of integrated appliances included as standard.

Worktops are polished granite in the penthouse kitchens. Good quality bathroom ware is complemented by black slate flooring and white wall tiling, all standard items.

Bedrooms are double in size, all with ivory cherry-lined wardrobes and with an en suite shower off the main bedroom.

The amount of open space around the grounds is excellent, with free underground and surface car-parking. Management costs are from €1,200 to €1,300 for regular two-bedroom units and €1,500 for two-bedroom penthouses.

Apartments in this phase will be ready to move into from next month to mid-summer. The entire development should be completed within 12 months according to the selling agents.

Viewing at Seabrook Manor is today, tomorrow and over the weekend.
