A new development of detached houses close to Enfield on the Meath-Kildare border offers good value to Dublin commuters.

Located in Johnstownbridge, less than one mile south of Enfield, The Glebe is an M&M Construction built development of four and five bedroom houses. The retail centres of Blanchardstown and The Liffey Valley can be reached in just half an hour in off-peak times.

The Glebe is a development of 57 detached houses in two styles - a 1,900 sq ft five-bedroom dormer and a 1,570 sq ft four-bedroom two-storey house. The five-bed is priced from £259,950 (€330,068) and the four-bed starts at £239,950 (€304,673).

The second phase of development, currently on sale, includes six five-bed and 10 four-bed houses. Maynooth-based Brady & Co is the selling agent. Each of the houses is on a generous site and green areas are landscaped.

The reception rooms in the five-bedroom house are generously proportioned. The lounge to the front has a black feature fireplace, three windows overlooking the garden and double doors leading to the diningroom, from which double doors lead to a conservatory. A second door opens into the kitchen/breakfast room, which can also be accessed from the hall. The kitchen is fitted. There are also two double bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs. Upstairs are three more double bedrooms- one en suite - and a bathroom. A garage and utility room complete the accommodation.

The four-bedroom house also has a garage and an optional conservatory. The lounge has a feature fireplace and double doors through to the dining room. There is a utility room off the fitted kitchen. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three doubles and a single. The main bedroom is en suite. Standard features of both styles include PVC double glazed windows, moulded skirting and architrave and high quality sanitary ware.
