Selling from plans at preconstruction prices, this scheme will officially launch this autumn, when show-homes will be completed. The first phase of homes is due to be ready to move into by Christmas.

In total there will be 102 houses on a site just outside Rathdrum. A pretty village about 36 miles from Dublin and close to the N11, Rathdrum is within easy driving distance of Bray and Wicklow town.

A new retail centre is currently under construction beside Market Square in Rathdrum, which will provide a good selection of shops.

On offer at Viewmount are three-bed terraced houses of 87sq m (934sq ft), three-bed semis of 102sq m (1097sq ft), and four-bed detached houses which range in size from 128 to 142sq m (1378 to 1527 sq ft).

Price: three-beds from 329,995; four-beds from 445,000
