Detached homes from £220,000

Families looking for large detached houses within easy commuting distance of Dublin city are likely to be interested in the latest phase of the Plunkett Hall scheme at Dunboyne, Co Meath. A total of 19 four and five-bedroom homes going on the market on Saturday will be ready for occupation between August and November next. The joint selling agents are Leahy Property Consultants and J S Fox Auctioneers.

When completed by Mycete Construction, there will be a total of 78 houses in the development, which is a few minutes walk from the centre of Dunboyne village. The smallest house, with garage, has 1,340 sq ft and is priced from £220,000, while a larger four-bed home with 1,600 sq ft will cost from £265,000.

For those looking for more space, there is a five-bedroom detached house of 2,100 sq ft with a garage. As there are only three of these house types available, the agents have decided to sell them by tender. The guide price will be £320,000 in each case.

Standard features in the houses include an en suite bathroom with the main bedrooms, natural gas central heating, tongue-and-groove flooring upstairs, utility room off the kitchen and walled gardens front and rear.
