Co Wexford: from €210,000: A development of 85 four-bedroom detached houses in Poulshone, Co Wexford promises to transform this tiny seaside village.
Priced from €210,000 to €245,000 for 112.4-133 sq m (1,210-1,432 sq ft) of accommodation, Glen Richards Wood could prove popular as holiday homes or permanent residences. Joint agencies Gunne Residential and Reid Property Group are handling "from plan" sales for the first 12 units at their respective offices.
Poulshone is about 9 km south of Gorey along the coast. While some of the houses are at the finishing stage, the showhouse is not quite ready for viewing. Pitched fairly low, the prices are expected to rise once the holiday season kicks in and the showhouses open.
The setting is quiet and literally down a sandy lane from the beach - a great plus for families looking for a weekend summer retreat. There are seven different house styles by architects Arthur O'Leary to choose from, traditional in design to blend with the area. Glen Richards Wood is being developed by John O'Connor and the builder is Tom Driver & Son from Rathdrum, Co Wicklow.
All the houses come with low-maintenance exteriors, seeded gardens and driveways. Storage heating is provided, with an option of oil-fired central heating if required. Features include a fireplace in some units, contemporary kitchens, brass door fittings and tongue and groove upstairs flooring. French doors open to the back gardens.
