A small development of 70 three-bedroom up to five-bedroom houses at Upper Kilmacud Road, near Stillorgan, Co Dublin, goes on sale today through Ross McParland. Prices start at £320,000 for a three-bedroom terraced house. Developer Jackson Properties has built the Whately Place scheme on the site of Redesdale House, 18th-century home of Archbishop Whately. In the first phase, 11 three-bedroom, five four-bedroom and one five-bedroom terraced houses are for sale. The scheme will be completed by Christmas, according to agent Ross McParland. All the houses are finished to a high standard.

The houses are set in two cul-de-sacs. The three-bedroom and four-bedroom ones are half brick to the front, with bay windows and overhanging tiled porches. The smallest, 1,141 sq ft, three-bedroom home costs £320,000, with end-terrace houses an extra £8,000. These have an L-shaped entrance hall with the stairs rising from the centre of the house. The sittingroom has a carved timber fireplace and a deep bay window. Double glass-panelled doors open to the inner hallway to provide extra reception space. A spacious open-plan kitchen/breakfastroom at the back of the house will appeal to buyers with families. Kitchen units are alderwood, and cream embossed wall tiling is standard. French doors open on to a cobble-locked terrace. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and one single room, all with fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom, which is en suite, spans the width of the house. The £375,000, 1,440 sq ft, four-bedroom houses have a more traditional layout with the staircase rising from the front hallway and a guest cloakroom.

The sittingroom is larger, with double doors to an equally spacious diningroom. A further set of glazed doors leads through to a bright sun room/family diningroom, opening to the back garden. Two of the bedrooms upstairs are double and two are single, and all have fitted wardrobes. The main bedroom, at the front of the house, has two windows in the bay alcove and a spacious en suite shower room. Two other four-bedroom house types are available. A 1,467 sq ft design costs £385,000, while another with 1,853 sq ft costs £450,000. It has a separate diningroom to the front of the house and an interconnecting sittingroom, kitchen/breakfastroom and conservatory leading out to a terrace at the back. The 2,500 sq ft five-bedroom house is priced at £500,000. This is an L-shaped design with sittingroom and kitchen/breakfastroom opening to the rear terrace. Gardens are compact, open-plan to the front and fenced-in at the back, with a patio and small lawn.
