CO WICKLOW - FROM €3.45M:A SUPER SWISH enclave of family homes in Co Wicklow has a good village location and knockout interiors. Struan Hill is a scheme of seven large homes on Prior Road, in walking distance of the upmarket village of Delgany.
With 464sq m (5,000sq ft) of living space and sites of around an acre, the homes are firmly pitched at well-heeled professional families looking to make the move out of Dublin.
Built by Clarkson Financial & Property, a company of which Frieda O'Neill is a 50 per cent partner and director, the houses were first launched last September. Three have now been reserved, according to Niall Hassett, joint selling agent with Colliers Jackson-Stops.
Prices start at €3.45 million and go up to €3.9 million. Only one of the houses, the showhouse, has been built.
It is for sale for €3.8 million. Each of the six other houses will mirror its design and layout.
This house is seriously spacious with high ceilings, generous room sizes and lots of windows. Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, two reception rooms,a large open-plan kitchen/dining/livingroom, an adjoining laundry room and a study. The attic adds an extra 93sq m (1,000sq ft) of space.
An entrance hall with a 35ft high ceiling and gleaming cream-coloured Italian marble floor shows off the scheme's top end finish. The heart of the house is the by now de rigueur open-plan kitchen/dining/livingroom at the rear.
The white-painted kitchen with a black granite wortkop, was designed by Robinson Interiors. Upstairs, all bedrooms are double and the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and large en suite bathroom.
Heating is natural gas and the house has been fitted with a geothermal underfloor heating system. Gardens have sandstone patios, outdoor lighting and large double garages with electronically controlled sliding doors.
