Bray/€290,000-€395,000-plus: Just 20 apartments remain at Diamond Valley on the edge of Bray. Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is launching these last available units this week with prices from €240,000.

Set in three four-storey blocks over secure underground car-parking, Diamond Valley overlooks the Dargle river and is situated just off the Upper Dargle Road.

A striking feature of this development - typified by a mixture of redbrick, colour render and timber facades - is the enormous balconies/terraces that come as standard.

Apartments have balconies/terraces that range in size from 10 sq m (107 sq ft) to 24 sq m (258 sq ft) while penthouse units have roof terraces from 58 sq m (624 sq ft) to 84 sq m (904 sq ft).

One-bedroom apartments of 46.5 sq m (500 sq ft) are priced from €240,000; two-bedroom apartments of 75-85.3 sq m (808-918 sq ft) cost from €290,000; three-bedroom apartments of 85.3-105 sq m (918-1,130 sq ft) are from €315,000; and two-bedroom plus study penthouses of 130-142 sq m (1,396-1,531 sq ft) are priced from €395,000. There are 160 secure car-parking spaces in the development available free to residents.

Situated on the outskirts of Bray, Diamond Valley offers easy access to the N11 and, when the M50 is complete, access to and from west and north Dublin will be straightforward. The DART in Bray is a 10-minute drive away while Bray is serviced by six bus routes.

A number of golf clubs - Woodbrook, Old Conna (Powerscourt) and Druids Glen - are within easy reach, as are the many other outdoor activities offered in Co Wicklow. Bray offers a range of social and retail centres.

Designed by SBA Architects, standard features at Diamond Valley include electric Gold Shield central heating, fitted kitchen units, lifts to all floors, and a natural gas fireplace in the livingroom.

Landscaping will be another impressive feature; with over 80 per cent of the site given over to green areas, expect plenty of open space to enjoy the river views from.

Diamond Valley is being developed by Bymac Ltd and completion dates are expected from autumn 2004.
