Co Kildare: from €870,000 The last five houses at St John's Grove, right, in the village of Johnstown near Naas, Co Kildare are being launched this week through Hooke & MacDonald.
The five-bed detached houses have 315 sq m (3,400 sq ft) of space and are priced from €870,000.
Standard features include fitted kitchens with granite worktops, cobblelock driveways, a conservatory, automatic double garage and two en suite bedrooms. The large homes are all on large sites.
Designed by architect Raymond McDonnell and built by Dwyer Nolan Homes, St John's Grove is about a mile from Naas just off the N7 and about 18 miles from the capital. There are local commuter bus services to Dublin and an Arrow rail service to Heuston from nearby Sallins station which takes around 35 minutes.
St John's Grove is a low density scheme in a series of cul-de-sacs based around a central tree-lined avenue. There are a number of public open spaces and a crèche in the development.
Naas offers a decent selection of retail and educational facilities. Johnstown is in the heart of Kildare equestrian county with Punchestown, Naas and The Curragh race tracks nearby. Previous schemes by Dwyer Nolan Homes include The Maples in Clonskeagh and Dun Emer in Lusk. A showhouse at St John's Grove is open this Saturday and Sunday.
