A new showhouse will be on view and 25 four-bedroom semis for sale in the latest phase of Charnwood, a nicely landscaped development of about 300 houses at Clonsilla, Co Dublin.

Prices are £162,500 across the board for all units, apart from a few end houses at £177,500. The selling agent is Douglas Newman Good.

This phase launches a new house-style, with more open-plan living accommodation and a larger kitchen/ breakfast-room.

The builder, Lynam Homes, constructed several well-known schemes in the area in recent years, including Ashington, Riverston Abbey, The Priory and Castlefield.

The location of the Charnwood scheme - close to Clonsilla rail station and within easy reach of the Phoenix Park and Blanchardstown Shopping Centre - will appeal to many house buyers. Landscaping is well-advanced and large, tree-lined open spaces at the entrance to the site on Sheelin Road are planted with a variety of deciduous trees.

Fittings throughout the houses are good quality and there are generous allowances for fireplace and tiling. The houses are yellow-brick to the front and have a tiled porch overhang.

The 1,280 sq. ft houses have a standard hallway with guest lavatory off. The sitting-room incorporates an eye-catching arch leading to the adjoining dining-room.

This in turn flows through to a spacious country-style kitchen. Both dining-room and kitchen have French doors to a sheltered patio. The kitchen is exceptionally well-lit, with a timber panelled ceiling, roof windows and concealed spotlights. A utility room leads off the kitchen.

There are two double and two single bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and the family bathroom upstairs. The main bedroom has a good-sized en suite shower and generous wardrobe space.

Outside, gardens front and rear will come levelled and lawned, with the rear fenced off.
