Strandhill is a coastal village with plenty of amenities and its proximity to Sligo, just five miles away, makes it a popular residential area.

Designed by Taylor Architects of Castlebar, Dorrins Strand has a mix of apartments and houses on a landscaped site. Finished in a mix of white render with timber cladding and feature brickwork, these houses will be bright and airy. All the houses will have private back gardens.

Selling from plans, the scheme is due to be finished within 18 months. This first phase sees the launch of the three- and four-bed houses, with apartments due onstream later this year.
