Bray from €365,000:Apartments within walking distance of the Dart in Bray, Co Wicklow, go on show today through the Hooke & MacDonald agency. Deposits are being taken from noon for 23 one and two-bedroom apartments at Riversdale, a Cosgraves scheme along the banks of the River Dargle and within sight of the N11.
The three new buildings on this wooded site are of contemporary glass, brick and steel, contrasting with the natural vegetation of the valley.
Prices are from €365,000 for good-sized one-beds of 49-51sq m (525-550sq ft). Two-bedroom apartments of 73-77sq m (790-830sq ft) cost from €435,000.
The design by Project Architects takes into account the superb riverside site, with the original meandering river walk restored, picnic tables installed and additional planting augmenting existing beech trees. Balconies, walkways and large windows bring the surroundings into the apartments.
Inside, vanilla gloss and cherrywood kitchens come with granite worktops and electrical appliances as standard. Bathware is sleek and contemporary, with extensive floor and wall tiling.
Riversdale is just off the N11 at the Fassaroe/Upper Dargle Road interchange. The M50 is about five minutes from the complex, providing easy access to the airport and points south. The Dart station is a healthy walk from the Riversdale apartments.
Completions in this phase are scheduled from next month onwards. Viewing extends from noon today to Sunday afternoon.
