Dublin 15: from €;560,000Three and four-bedroom houses opposite a golf club in north Dublin go on sale this weekend with McPeake Auctioneers.

Good-sized family houses are still scarce in the new homes market within the city boundaries and could be a good long-term buy for those who can afford to trade up.

Chapelwood is in Hollystown, Dublin 15, a quiet semi-rural area, about 14kms from the city centre not far from the airport and Tyrrelstown.

Three and four-bedroom houses are for sale in this final phase, priced from €560,000 for a three-bed semi. Four-bedroom semis start at €599,950, while four-bedroom detached houses cost from €745,000. A total of 12 houses are on offer, with four-bedroom units in the majority. They will be ready to move into as soon as paperwork is completed.

A high interior spec and traditional brick and render exteriors attracted strong sales in earlier phases of this scheme when the market was more buoyant.

Hollystown Developments has included a number of luxury fittings as standard, with Bosch appliances, granite worktops, Jacuzzi baths and Vogue bathroom fittings and extensive floor tiling. A fireplace with gas flame-effect fire is also included. Central heating is gas.

Windows and external doors are Rationel pine and internal doors are white oak. Landscaping will include an attractive water feature in the communal grounds. This phase marks the end of construction at Chapelwood and landscaping is taking shape.

Three-bedroom semi-detached houses of 127sq m (1,370sq ft) are designed with a kitchen/diningroom to the front and a large sittingroom opening to the back garden. Two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a small study are on the first floor level, while a spacious main bedroom with en suite shower are on the top floor.
