COMBINING waterfront views, designer interiors and a sought-after location has become a speciality for the Cosgrave Group.

The hat-trick of benefits would probably top most house-hunters' wish lists, so the developer has repeated the formula at Riversdale, their latest development in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Situated beside the extremely popular La Vallee scheme and fronting onto the banks of the Dargle River, this week sees the launch of the first phase of 50 units at the development. Comprised of a mix of 20 one-bed units and 30 two-bed units, the launch will also see the opening of the show units for the first time.

Currently under construction, Riversdale is made up of 124 stunning one- and twobed apartments boasting light-filled interiors and goodsized balconies.

Designed by Project Architects, the development is comprised of three separate apartment blocks with sleek, contemporary exteriors featuring glass, brick and stainless steel which contrasts perfectly with the surrounding landscape.

A significant feature at Riversdale is the restoration of the old meandering river walk. This now has low level lighting, feature decked areas, picnic tables, seating areas, a vintage-style pebble finish on the pathways and additional planting to compliment the mature beech trees.

Interior features include large windows offering panoramic views and natural light in both the living areas and bedrooms.

This high spec development also features high quality fitted kitchens including granite worktops and kitchen appliances as well as contemporary bathrooms and en-suites with extensive floor and wall tiling. All of the units are covered by the 10 Year HomeBond Guarantee Scheme and are exempt from stamp duty for owner occupiers.

Close to town, sea and mountains, Riversdale is situated just off the N11 at the Fassaroe/Upper Dargle Road giving the development easy access to the M50 and the city.

Residents can also avail of the Dart as well as a good range of shopping and amenities at nearby Bray.

In addition to Bray Shopping Centre there are plans for two further new major shopping centres in the town and shopping centres at Stillorgan, Blackrock, Cornelscourt and Dundrum Town Centre are conveniently only a short drive away.
