Foxrock: from €2.4 mBuyers upgrading to a Foxrock address expect a top finish and plenty of living space for their money and the latest scheme launching today in this sought-after village will not disappoint

Seventeen detached four and five-bedroom houses are for sale in Brighton Square, off Brighton Road via Brighton Place.

The small cul-de-sac is almost finished and the quality of workmanship is already evident in the abundance of red brick, glossy mahogany front doors and fully landscaped gardens.

The 18 houses are of a similar design to existing houses on the road and their turreted roofs and bay windows fit seamlessly into the tranquil Foxrock landscape.

All this comes at a cost, although prices are average for the location given the ample proportions and swish interiors. Kelly Walsh Property Advisors & Agents are quoting from €2.4 million for the smallest 203sq m (2,185sq ft) four-bedroom house, with slightly more for those with a detached garage and larger dimensions. Five-bedroom houses with 281sq m (3,015sq ft) of space cost €3 million.

Developer Burkeway Construction has pulled out all the stops to persuade buyers to part with their cash, and many will be tempted.

Traditional timber windows are framed with panelling and are deep enough to accommodate plants and knick-knacks.

Solid mahogany sliding doors link sitting and diningrooms, Staircases have deep mahogany banisters.

Underfloor heating has been installed throughout. The houses have also been wired for surround sound, with broadband, television and phone points in all rooms.

Kitchens are sleekly modern and buyers can have the smart granite-topped showhouse model or choose an alternative design with an allowance.

A full range of integrated appliances include a built-in coffee-maker, microwave, oven, hob, extractor, fridge-freezer, dishwasher. A washing machine and dryer are fitted in the adjoining utility room.

Luxurious bathrooms and en suites are of a high standard, with bronze mosaic floor and wall tiles, wall-hung sanitary ware and Jacuzzi baths.

The flow of living space is designed with families in mind, so the formal rooms open to the kitchen/breakfast room at one end, while two further rooms off the kitchen and hall could be used as a television room and study.

Upstairs, off a large landing with space for an armchair, the two largest rooms have en suite bathrooms and there is a family bathroom.

In one house-type, the en suite is accessed via a sliding glass door and there is a separate fitted dressingroom.

Back gardens are a reasonable size for a new development and will be designed to the owner's specification by landscape architect Ronan MacDiarmiada, who designed and planted the front gardens at Brighton Square.

Work is almost complete at Brighton Square and buyers can expect to move in before Christmas this year.

Viewing of the scheme is by appointment with selling agents Kelly Walsh.
