Developer Deane Homes has just launched 70 units for sale off plan as well as showhouses at the development, which is comprised of 850 large threeand four-bed houses as well as two-bed apartments.

Building work is currently underway, with completion of the houses due between now and December and the apartments in April/May 2007.

A great deal of thought has gone into the design of the development and the houses.

Don't be fooled by the Tudor-style exteriors; these traditional looking homes are smart on the inside. All the units have been wired for the future with In Home Entertainment systems providing a comprehensive cabling infrastructure for state-of-the art electronic needs.

They also have multiroom internet access points.

Other features at the development include natural gas central heating, fitted kitchens with granite worktops and stone fireplaces in the houses, and high quality bathrooms with power showers and balconies or patios in all units.

The four-bed houses span 120sq m (1,300sq ft) and are priced from 690,000;

the three-bed houses span 93sqm (1,000sq ft) and are from 595,000; and the two-bed apartments span 70sq m to 75sq m (750sq ft to 800sq ft) and are from 410,000.

This impressive new residential development also benefits from a multitude of amenities on site as well as in the surrounding area.

A new convenience neighbourhood shopping and creche facility is being built on site and there is a proposal for a new school directly adjacent to Stocking Wood.

The area also has several well-known golf clubs, a Total Fitness club and Dundrum Town Centre, and a multiplex cinema is within easy reach.

Price: two-bed apartments from 410,000; fourbed houses from 690,000 Agent: Hooke & MacDonald, 01-631 8402 & Orchard Real Estate Alliance, 01-490 0687
