4 of a kind: New builds under an hour from Dublin
Be the first to live in one of these commuter-friendly properties.
IF PHRASES LIKE ‘convenience’ and ‘plenty of space’ are high up on your list of must-haves for a new home, then a new build could be for you.
Thanks to smart planning by developers, it’s getting simpler to find a home that is convenient for both small-town living and city commuting. This week, we’re proving that point by rounding up four new builds that are all within an hour’s drive of Dublin – and some significantly less than that.
Here’s what’s on offer for choosy commuters right now…
Navan, Co Meath
You’ll have to move fast with an offer on this three-bedroom home, as it’s the last one remaining of its style at the Cois Glaisin development. Located in Navan, five minutes from the M3, a 40-minute drive from Dublin city centre and 20 minutes from Blanchardstown, this home has no shortage of amenities nearby.
Like all homes at Cois Glaisin, the property is A-rated for energy. It features gas-fired central heating, a fitted kitchen with an open-plan dining area, a tiled bathroom and guest WC, and fitted wardrobes in two of the three generous bedrooms. The dual aspect, semi-detached home covers a floor area of 1,054 sq ft.
Prosperous, Co Kildare
Moss Brook is a smartly-designed development of just 18 homes, located a short stroll from Prosperous village and a 40 minute drive into Dublin city. The ten homes in this phase of the development are four-bedroom units, each impeccably designed with open-plan family living in mind.
Features as standard include photovoltaic solar panelling, fitted kitchens and bedroom storage, gas-fired central heating, a rear sandstone patio, levelled and seeded lawns, and a 10-year Homebond guarantee.
Naas, Co Kildare
These three-bedroom semi-detached homes are part of the new development at Stoneleigh, located off Craddockstown Rd in Naas. Homeowners at Stoneleigh will enjoy the double benefit of Naas’s myriad suburban amentities, while also living 40 minutes’ drive from Dublin via the N7.
Each property at Stoneleigh comes with UPVC windows, a reliable timber-frame structure, an air-to-water heat pump system which can be controlled remotely via your smartphone, seeded gardens and private parking for two cars.
Homes are on sale for €340,000.
Drogheda, Co Louth
This exceptional five-bedroom, 3,700 sq ft home forms part of the new development at Yew Abbey in Drogheda, Co Louth. Drogheda is already extremely well established as a commuter belt location and has plenty to offer families, while also being a 50 minute drive from Dublin city centre.
The property itself is spread over three floors and has plenty of state-of-the-art design and energy features, including zoned heating controls, underfloor heatings, pre-cast concrete floors, hand-built Christoff kitchens, wifi and alarm wiring and professionally landscaped gardens. You’ll also receive a €30,000 kitchen/fitted storage allowance.
