Five-bed houses in Rathfarnham scheme

In Rathfarnham, Stocking Wood is the scheme that keeps on giving. Over the last two years, houses in this development, once owned by Deane Homes and now owned by Kingscroft, sold for between €215,000 and €260,000 for three- and four-bedroom houses. This weekend, a new tranche of 25 five-bed houses goes on sale. Located in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, the A-rated homes range in price from €405,000 for the five-bed detached (138sq m/1,485sq ft) to €439,950 for the five-bed semi-detached (170sq m/1,830sq ft).

The houses have been built to a high specification with contemporary interiors, and are designed to achieve an A3 BER rating with solar panel water heaters and low- maintenance exteriors. The houses also come with Homebond's 10-year guarantee. The Stocking Wood scheme is for sale through joint agents, Sherry FitzGerald New Homes and Knight Frank, and the show homes will be on view between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
