Designed by architects PD Lane, homes at Delgany Gate have a lovely 19th-century village look. But while they may ooze old-fashioned charm on the outside, inside they are state-of-the-art.

Each detached house has a floor area of 232sq m (2,500sq ft), and comprises a hall, family room, living room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and six bedrooms.

Bright and well-laid out, the hall opens into both the family room and the living room, which in turn opens into the dining room. Kitchens here are really impressive with solid granite worktops, traditionalstyle Brittania cooker set into a tiled recess, American fridgefreezer and built-in coffee machine and wine-cooler.

Five bedrooms are at first floor level, while the top floor is home to the large main bedroom with en-suite bathroom, dressing room and Harvia sauna.

Just 1.5 miles from Greystones, Delgany has local schools, shops and amenities, while there is easy access to Dublin and most major routes via the nearby N11.

The village is served by the 84 bus to Dublin, along with a feeder bus to the Dart at Greystones.
