Sandyford: from €305,000: A new phase of 32 two-bedroom apartments at the Castle Court, Kilgobbin Wood development in Sandyford, Dublin 18 is being launched this week through Hooke & MacDonald with prices starting from €305,000.
The apartments have floor areas of 60-73 sq m (650-785 sq ft) with completion dates from July. Designed by Frank Elmes & Co, these homes are located in a Parisian-style block with a mix of brick and blue-black slate tile roofing at mansard level.
All of the apartments have decent-sized balconies, an en-suite off the main bedroom, fitted kitchens and wardrobes, and are designed to take advantage of the views over the Dublin Mountains.
One of the main attractions of this scheme is its location. The M50 is a short drive away while the Luas at Sandyford is within walking distance. In addition, there is a proposed Luas stop just outside the entrance to the development on the Ballyogan Road. Due to be up and running by the autumn, the estimated journey time from Sandyford to St Stephen's Green on Luas is 22 minutes.
Castle Court is seven miles from Dublin city centre and near the villages of Stepaside and Sandyford. There is a large selection of golf courses nearby, Leopardstown Racecourse, with its Westwood fitness centre, is within walking distance while many of south Dublin's best-known shopping centres and prestigious schools and third-level institutions are within reach.
Another attraction is the development's proximity to the Dublin Mountains, where residents can quickly get away from the pressures of city life.
Castle Court at Kilgobbin Wood is being built by Deane Homes whose previous schemes include Foxrock Woods, Foxrock, and Tudor Grange, Rathfarnham.
