Location, location is what it's all about here, with Clontarf being one of the most popular neighbourhoods on Dublin's northside. Its seaside setting, proximity to the city centre, access to the Dart, and mature stock of houses means property prices around the area are pretty steep.

Which is why selling agent Hooke & MacDonald is expecting strong interest, as new homes which are exempt from stamp duty are few and far between in Clontarf.

On offer are four three-bed semis and two, three-bed detached houses. All homes come with cobblelocked driveways, electric gates, fitted high-gloss kitchens with granite worktops and integrated appliances. Bedrooms come with built-in wardrobes, while bathrooms are fully tiled and each home comes with a 5,000 allowance for flooring.

Price: three-bed detached and semi-detached mews houses from 740,000 to 775,000 Agent: Hooke & MacDonald 01-631 8402
