Designed by architects Terry & O'Flangan, Ashewood is set to attract a wide range of buyers from young firsttimers to families trading up to a larger home. The development has been laid out in such a way that it incorporates plenty of open space and areas for children to play in, while the new Ashbourne town centre is just a short walk away.

Two-beds are quite spacious at 90sq m (969sq ft), and also include a small study, while three-bed houses range in size from 104sq m to 111sq m (1120sq ft to 1195sq ft), and four-beds range from 129sq m to 143sq m (1388sq ft to 1539sq ft).

Homes here include fitted kitchens, built-in wardrobes in all bedrooms, fireplaces fitted for gas, and larger than average bathrooms and en-suites.

Price: two-bed houses from 355,000; three-beds from 370,000; fourbeds from 430,000.
