Co Dublin/from €250,000: Leahy Property Consultants is launching the second phase of McInerney Construction's Hansted scheme in Lucan this week with prices starting at €250,000.

Included in this tranche are two and three-bedroom duplexes and townhouses which should appeal to first-time buyers. Designed by architects O'Mahony Pike, Hansted offers a range of brick elevations and most homes have either private back gardens or roof gardens.

Two-bedroom duplex townhouses with 70 sq m (753 sq ft) come with a private roof garden and cost from €250,000 while two-bedroom duplex apartments - again with private roof gardens - have around 79 sq m (850 sq ft) of space and start at €260,000.

Three-bedroom duplex townhouses vary in size from 95-103 sq m (1,022-1,100 sq ft) and cost from €270,000. These units all come with a private back garden, carport and have the main bedroom en suite.

The last remaining house type in this release is a three-bedroom townhouse with 94 sq m (1,010 sq ft) which costs from €280,000.

It comes with a private back garden, bay window, the main bedroom en suite, a cobblelock driveway to the front and patio doors to the back garden.

Overlooking Finnstown Country House Hotel on the Newcastle Road, Hansted is convenient to Lucan village, the M50, a QBC into town, the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre and a proposed railway station in the proposed new town at Adamstown in west Dublin.

Seven showhouses are on view this Saturday and Sunday, and all homes in this phase at Hansted have completion dates from January 2005 with the entire scheme due for completion within 18 months.
