The once sleepy village of Ashbourne has transformed in the last 15 years from a traffic bottleneck into one of Co Meath’s key commuter towns, second in size to Navan, the county capital.

With an ever-increasing population which currently stands at more than 14,000, demand for new homes is strong. The Oaks is a small scheme of six sizeable detached family homes within a 0.5km walk from the town.

The scheme is by Highpark Developments which did Seabrook in Rush which launched last year, Dunard in Swords in 2016, and The Belfry in Trim in 2012. It is finished to a yellow brick and render design by WCA Architects, who also worked on the Rush houses.

Of the six, two are sold. Of the remaining four there are two different designs; one has a box bay column on its gable end and is 183sq m/1,969sq ft, while the other style has a box bay window to the front at garden level only. This house is slightly smaller, measuring 181sq m /1,948sq ft.
