Co Meath: With most developers now concentrating on high density apartments and duplex schemes, those needing good-sized family homes at reasonable prices will have to look further afield.

That is one of the reasons why Property Team Carey Auctioneers in Enfield is expecting strong interest in a new development of four and five-bedroom homes going on the market this weekend in the Co Meath village.

Prices at Glen Ambhainn start at €339,000 for a four-bedroom, 148.6 sq m (1,600 sq ft) semis and from €406,000 for five-bedroom detached units with a floor area of 195 sq m (2,100 sq ft).

Earlier this year, the first phase of three-bedroom homes on the site sold out rapidly.

Liz Carey of the selling agents is expecting a similar response on this occasion because of the attractive brick elevations, cobblelocked driveways and walled gardens front and rear.

The high spec finish will also undoubtedly impress viewers. The developer is High Degree Construction.

Enfield village has experienced considerable growth in recent years because of its good bus and rail links to Dublin and its pleasant village life.

It is also within easy commuting distance of major industries likes Intel and Hewlett Packard.

A bypass taking heavy west of Ireland traffic away from the village centre has been a boonfor the area.

The opening of Johnstown House Hotel on the edge of the village has been another great benefit.
