Delgany/from €415,000: Families looking for new homes in the north Wicklow area will welcome the release of a new phase at Delgany Wood, where 28 three and four-bedroom semis go on view today with joint agents Sherry FitzGerald New Homes and Jackson-Stops.

In the heart of Delgany village and very well landscaped, Delgany Wood has proved popular with young families relocating back to the area. Prices in this phase start at €415,000 for three-bedroom semis from 82 sq m (880 sq ft). Four-bedroom semi-detached houses of 106-114 sq m (1,150-1,230 sq ft) cost from €465,000. Extended four-bedroom semis are at the top end of this price range.

Delgany Wood is a 250-unit project by Avmark, part of Townpark Estates which has a strong track record in the area. The houses are designed by P D Lane Associates on traditional lines, with three-quarter brick façades and pretty timbered porches.

Standard features include good quality kitchens and bathrooms, sittingroom fireplaces with gas flame-effect fires, fitted wardrobes and period-style doors and ironmongery. Outside lighting is also supplied and there are downlighters in the kitchen area.

Each house will have a traditional driveway and front garden and fair-sized enclosed back gardens. General landscaping throughout the cul-de-sac development is of a high standard, with extensive new planting planned to complement existing mature trees and greenery.

Completion dates for this phase of Delgany Wood are expected to range from mid to late 2005.
