NOT QUITE for the first-time buyer, but very impressive, indeed, are apartments at Rockfield, a stylish upmarket scheme just off Kilmacud Road in Dundrum, Dublin 14. Two-bed units start from 585,000. Very close to Dundrum Town Centre, Rockfield is a large complex right beside Balally Luas station. With St Stephen's Green 15 minutes away by train, demand has been strong, according to selling agents Finnegan Menton.
Designed by architect Conroy Crowe Kelly, the apartments, laid out in curved, four- and five-storey brick buildings, come with private terraces or large balconies overlooking the landscaped grounds. Two-beds range in size from 68sq m to 75sq m (730sq ft to 805sq ft).
The apartments are well laid out, with an emphasis on natural light. All have good-sized hallways with storage area and kitchens opening into large open-plan living-cum-diningrooms. Main bedrooms come with en-suites, while the main bathroom can be accessed from the hall. Livingrooms open out to decent-sized balconies or terraces.
Standard features include natural gas heating, fitted wooden kitchens with integrated appliances and tiled walls and flooring. Livingrooms have elegant fireplaces with electric fires. Living areas have floor to ceiling windows.
All floors have lift access, and just four units access each landing.
