Malahide/from €380,000: Duplexes and apartments go on sale today in the final block at Castleheath, a well-landscaped development off Swords Road, Malahide. Gunne Residential is taking bookings for 32 units in Block E, which has an equal number of two-bed apartments and three-bedroom duplexes.
Prices from €380,000 and €530,000 reflect the popularity of Malahide, a sociable village with a strong family ethos. Water sports, tennis and rugby clubs, good shops and restaurants and the DART are some of the amenities that attract people to the area.
Castleheath is the latest project by Cladewell Properties, a Lynam Brothers company with local schemes such as The Talbot and The Warren in their portfolio. The development backs onto exclusive Abington and has a gated entrance with water feature which makes a good first impression.
Inside security gates, the apartments and duplexes are arranged with two-bedroom apartments at ground floor level and three-bedroom duplexes above. An underground car park will provide one free space for apartment owners and two spaces for duplex residents.
Two-bed apartments with 65 sq m (700 sq ft) of living space have an open-plan sitting/diningroom and kitchen, with Systemat cherry-look units and a steel cooker hood. There is one en suite double bedroom and one single, both with fitted wardrobes. Doors open from the largest bedroom to a small terrace.
Bathroom ware at Castleheath is by Villeroy & Boch. Three-bedroom duplex units of 120 sq m (1,292 sq ft) have a separate sittingroom and a kitchen/diningroom with similar cherry units and steel extractor. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and one single room, all with wardrobes and an en suite shower is fitted off bedroom one.
Landscaping is well under way in this final phase, with lawns, paved areas and a garden roofing the underground car park. This final block will be ready to move into in autumn and winter this year according to the selling agents.
