Phase three of Scholarstown Wood, a development of three, four and five-bed homes designed by architects O’Mahony Pike for developers Regency/ Broadcrest in Dublin 16 is set on a plot of land that once belonged to showband legend Dickie Rock.

Within the M50 limits, the scheme launched in September 2016 with prices starting from €455,000 for a three-bed terraced house with 116sq m (1,250sq ft). Prices for four-bed semis, which range from 141sq m to 143sq m (1,519sq ft- 1,546sq ft) started from €570,000.

In phase two, which launched last February, the three-bed terraced houses started from €470,000, while the asking prices for the four-bed semis remained the same.

Seven months later and 30 homes are coming to market in phase three – two from an earlier phase and 28 new-builds. It includes 16 three-bed terraced houses with prices from €445,000-€480,000. These range from 116sq m to 118sq m (1,250sq ft-1,270sq ft).

The three-bed semis, of which there are six, range in size from 114sq m to 117sq m (1,232sq ft- 1,259sq ft), and from €490,000-€497,500, while the four-bed semis, of which there are six, and from 141sq m to 143sq m (1,519sq ft-1,546sq ft). These are €570,000-€605,000.
