The latest offering from Maybury Properties is Streamstown Meadow in Malahide, north Co Dublin. Located five minutes’ drive or eight minutes’ cycle from the coastal seaside village, the development consists of nine houses. As the only detached home, The Poppy has sold prior to the launch, and the eight semi-detached homes, known as The Foxglove, have been released to the market, through estate agent Savills.
As with Clairville Lodge, the 34-home development on Streamstown Lane by Maybury launched in 2017, one of the attractions besides the energy rating and interior fitout, will be the proximity to Dublin Airport, which is a 12-minute drive.
Extending to 157sq m (1,690sq ft) interiors have been overseen by Elaine Jerrard of Elk House Design. Each property has three double bedrooms, one of which is en suite, with the fourth, a large single – which would also work as a home office – overlooking the front garden. A formal livingroom lies to the front of each house with an open-plan living/dining/kitchen to the rear.
Kitchens, which have a classic but contemporary feel, have no upper cabinets which means they have a better flow and streamlined look with the open-plan living/dining area. Designed by SM Wood Design, the hand-painted duck-egg blue cabinets marry well with white quartz worktops. A tall pantry wall, in which the double oven sits, has plenty of storage with additional storage in an adjacent utility room.
SM Wood Design also supplied all the bespoke cabinetry, designed by Elk House, in the bedrooms; like the kitchen units, this has contemporary brass hardware.
All houses, which have durable red-brick facades, have three bathrooms, including the principal en-suite, and all have high-end Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware as standard.
Energy ratings are A3, as a result of high levels of insulation in the walls, roof and underfloor, which reduces heat and energy loss. High-efficiency air-source heat pumps by Daikin have flexible controls, allowing for more efficient hot water and heating.
Flooring downstairs is thermostatically controlled underfloor heating, with radiators on the upper floor, and with multiple heating zones and hot-water programmes, new owners will be able to control their heating and hot water bills. Wide plank oak runs through the ground floor with smart terrazzo in the bathrooms.
Externally, each house has a well-proportioned rear garden which has a paved terrace with the remainder in lawn. To the front is parking for two cars, and it is pre-wired for an electrical vehicle charger with an outside socket in the rear garden.
Set down a country lane surrounded by parkland near the grounds of Malahide Castle, houses in the ODA-designed boutique development are seeking €860,000 through Savills.
