Never been to Meath? These new houses could take you there

The past two years have seen a surge of new developments in Navan, Dunshaughlin and Ashbourne. Dunshaughlin itself will see between 600 and 800 new homes built in the next three years. Other areas off the commuter belt to Dublin have seen only small to moderate development.

In Clonee, Holsteiner Park at Williamstown Stud, the final phase of high-end Georgian-style properties, is now on the market by Glenveagh Properties through Knight Frank and Coonan New Homes. Last year the first phase of four-bedroom houses set in a private gated community sold out. A large proportion of the buyers came from Castleknock and Lucan.

In Dunshaughlin, The Willows, a development designed by McCrossan O'Rourke Manning, is on the market through agents Hooke and MacDonald and Dillon Auctioneers. Prices for the properties, which are a mix of three- and four-bed family homes, are from €323,000 to €365,000 respectively.
