Prices cut by 50% on mix of homes at Newcastle village

MAPLEWOOD Developments has made price reductions of over 50 per cent on apartments and houses at its Newcastle Lyons scheme in west Dublin which was launched in 2007 but still has a mix of apartments, duplexes and houses on offer.

Prices are now starting at €129,950 for one-bedroom apartments; from €159,950 for two-beds – down from €295,000 in 2007 – and from €225,000 for two-bedroom houses. The choice of styles in the development – there is a mix of apartments, duplexes and two, three and four-bedroom houses – and the prices should make it worth a look, especially for first-time buyers. All homes have a B3 energy rating, and homes on upper floors benefit from solar heated hot water.

Buyers have a choice of kitchens, either white or champagne high gloss or walnut Shaker-style units. Bathrooms come with heated towel rails and shower screens in en suites.

There are two types of two-bedroom terraced houses: one of 95sq m (1,023sq ft) has an open plan livingroom-cum-kitchen-cumdiningroom on the first floor with floor-to-ceiling windows. The gardens can be accessed from both the ground and first floors. The other 100sq m (1,080sq ft) two-bed terraced houses cost from €225,000. The 123sq m (1,322sq ft) three-bedroom, three-storey houses are spacious and have two en suite bathrooms. Prices are from €240,000.

There are over six different styles of duplexes with sizes ranging from 100-132sq m (1,072-1,424sq ft). Some of the duplexes are larger than the houses and prices start from €215,000. Newcastle village is 20km from the city centre and while it has seen some development in recent years it still retains some village charm.
