New Homes: D18 from €2.375mThree large newly-built detached homes at a top Foxrock address will be of interest to well-heeled buyers looking to trade up in the area. Westminster Grove is a small infill development of large four-bedroom homes on Westminster Road.
The 227sq m (2,445sq ft) houses have been built on the garden of Westminster Lodge, a large period house which was sold to Delmore Developments last year.
Prices start at €2.375 million for the middle house in the scheme which is on a slightly smaller site. The showhouse, staged by AD Designs, is priced at €2.63 million and comes compete with all its contents (€2.57 million without contents). The third house is priced at €2.495 million.
Because Westminster Grove is a new development there are significant savings on stamp duty. The stamp duty bill on €2.375 million would be €41,125, says selling agent Lyndsey Doyle of Daphne L Kaye and Associates. The houses have a modern layout designed for family living. There is a generous reception hall, a dual-aspect drawingroom with a polished limestone fireplace and a large open-plan living space with kitchen area, dining area and living area with a remote control gas fire.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms with two en suite.
In keeping with its top location, the houses have been given a very swanky fit-out. Kitchens are from Craft Stone and feature granite worktops and Neff appliances.
Bedrooms have Italian wardrobes and bathrooms have underfloor heating and glamorous tiling.
Ceilings are 9ft on the ground floor and 8ft on the first floor. A central vacuum system has been installed.
Outside there is parking for two cars. To the rear there is an Indian sandstone patio area and extensive landscaping.
Westminster Grove is on the southern side of the N11, close to Foxrock village and about 7kms from the city centre.
