Ready-to-go starter scheme around landscaped courtyard

Finglas: from €250,000Apartments go on sale today in a new phase at Hampton Wood, a development by Dwyer Nolan off St Margaret's Road, Dublin 11.

Show units will be open for viewing in this phase, entitled The Courtyard. Hooke & MacDonald will be taking bookings for 40 apartments from noon today.

A short distance from Finglas village and close to the M50, The Courtyard apartments are aimed at first-time buyers and prices are levelled accordingly. One-bedroom units of 46sq m (500sq ft) start at €250,000. Two-beds of 58-72sq m (625-775sq ft) cost from €295,000. Apartments with three bedrooms and 80-94sq m (860-1,010sq ft) of space are priced from €345,000.

The apartments are built and ready to move into as soon as sales are completed. Buildings are grouped around a landscaped area, with a variety of external finishes. Traditional brickwork is combined with coloured render and windows are tall. The Courtyard is flanked by a local public park and car-parking is underground, to allow space for extensive planting.

Interior finish is up-to-the-minute, with contemporary kitchens and bathrooms and brushed steel door handles. Two and three-bedroom apartments come with an en suite shower room off the largest bedroom. Most apartments include good-sized balconies. Heating is natural gas.

Previous new homes schemes by Dwyer Nolan include St John's Wood in Johnstown, Co Kildare, and Dun Emer in Lusk, Co Dublin. Viewing extends from today until Sunday afternoon.
