Four-bedroom detached houses from €390,000 are on offer this weekend at Merlon Developments' Johnstown Manor, near Naas, Co Kildare.

Joint agents Coonan and Hooke & MacDonald will be taking bookings at showhouses, on Saturday and Sunday from 2.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

The site is close to the centre of Johnstown, a pretty village just off the N7, a mile on the Dublin side of Naas.

With the N7 on the doorstep, commuting to the city is a viable option.

The 10 houses for sale this weekend comprise the final phase at Johnstown Manor, meaning buyers will not have to put up with construction traffic when they move in. The 140 sq m (1,510 sq ft) houses, all of which have good private gardens, encircle a large landscaped green area for communal play.

Interiors of the traditionally-designed houses are spacious and practical. On the ground floor, a sittingroom to the front connects with a formal diningroom.

There is a family room across the hall, a utility and downstairs toilet under the stairwell and a large kitchen/breakfastroom opening to the back garden.

Two of the four bedrooms are good-sized doubles, a third could fit a double bed and there is one single room. The main bedroom includes an en suite shower room.

Standard features include gas central heating, fireplaces and fitted wardrobes.

Gardens are larger than usual and the cul-de- sac layout is designed with families in mind.
