The first homes at a new boutique development have been launched to the market beside the racecourse in Naas, Co Kildare.
Tipperstown Walk by the Lydon group will have 55 homes in total when complete, including three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, with 27 of those released last weekend. Selling through Savills, there are seven four-bedroom homes still available in the first-phase release.
The asking prices of homes at the scheme are pitched above the thresholds for first-time-buyer subsidy schemes, namely the Help to Buy and First Home schemes, so they are more likely to attract existing homeowners looking to scale up.
The four-bedroom houses are semidetached and extend to 160sqm (1,722sq ft) over three floors, with asking prices starting from €740,000. They feature a livingroom on the ground floor with an open-plan kitchen/dining/living space to the rear, along with a loo and utility room. Two double bedrooms (one of which is en suite), a single bedroom and the bathroom occupy the first floor, while there is an en suite double bedroom suite on the top floor.

The date of the next release at Tipperstown Walk has yet to be confirmed but selling agent Ben Goldsmith predicts it is likely to be in late spring or early summer.
As well as more four-bedroom houses, the second release will also include mid- and end-terrace three-beds and detached five-beds.
The three-bedroom terraced houses extend to about 105sq m (1,130sq ft), with asking prices starting from €510,000. They are laid out with a kitchen to the front and a livingroom to the rear of the ground floor, along with a downstairs loo and a utility room. An en suite main bedroom, a second double bedroom, a single bedroom and the bathroom occupy the first floor.
The five-bedroom detached houses extend to 180sq m (1,938sq ft) over three floors and comprise an additional single bedroom to the four-bedroom iteration on the first floor and added storage space on the second. Asking prices for these homes start from €840,000.
The homes at Tipperstown Walk are fitted with contemporary kitchens by QK, with quartz countertops, and kitchen appliances are included when contracts are signed within 28 days. Sanitary ware and tiling of wet areas are included in bathrooms.
