Co Meath: from €700,000 Families looking for more space and a top quality fit-out might be interested in three very unusual four-bedroom bungalows, selling this weekend in a small development in the village of Robinstown, Co Meath.

Navan agent Mason Gavigan will be taking bookings at the showhouse, open for viewing on Saturday and Sunday. The last three 281sq m (3,019sq ft) bungalows are on offer, priced at €700,000 for one and €800,000 for the other two. One of the latter is the furnished showhouse, the other comes with the option to convert the 242sq m (2,600sq ft) attic space into further accommodation.

The finish and standard fittings at De Verdon go well beyond those in most new homes schemes. Windows and internal woodwork are solid oak, livingrooms come with 42-inch plasma screens and surround sound and 32-inch LCD screens are included in the study and main bedroom suite. Central vacuuming is also standard. Heating and lights can be controlled remotely by mobile phone. From the outside, the three bungalows look like any other good-sized family home. Inside, the mood changes and the houses take on the look of a ranch-style home. Country pine kitchens have granite worktops, electrical appliances and a Stanley range. Bold timber rafters in this room emphasise the high lofted ceiling.

Bathrooms are equally luxurious, with old-style free-standing baths, separate step-in showers and smart cream tiling. Washbasins and taps are Edwardian-type. Heated towel rails are provided and heating here is underfloor.

Gardens are seeded, with cobblelock driveways, lighting and hardwood decking by the kitchen door. Two of the bungalows are ready to move into right away, the third is due for completion at a later date.

Robinstown is equidistant between Navan and Trim, about 25 miles from the city and 3kms from the proposed M3. Carrignagour Ltd and Copperview Construction combined to build the bungalows at De Verdon and the architect was BMV Consult.
