The second phase of a housing development overlooking the coast and the golf club in Wicklow town go for sale next weekend at prices from £190,000 to £237,500. Seapoint is a low density development of 69 detached bungalows on an elevated site at Brittas Road, on the southern end of the town.

The four and five-bedroom houses are convenient to the popular bathing beaches at Brittas Bay and Silver Strand. When the first phase of the scheme was launched last summer, the response was very favourable with £4 million in sales recorded. About 85 per cent of the buyers were Dublin commuters, according to the selling agent, the Phillips Partnership. The N11 is to be upgraded to motorway standard and will eventually run from Donnybrook to Wicklow town.

Three house designs are on offer from next weekend. The Fairway is the smallest at 1,540 sq ft, with four bedrooms and priced from £190,000. Buyers will have a choice of oil-fired or solar panel heating with this model at an extra charge of £5,000 for the solar system. There is an antique pine kitchen, en suite main bedroom and coving in the sitting room and hallway. A timber deck or patio will be built outside the kitchen and dining room, depending on levels.

The Parkland also has four bedrooms, with 1,900 sq ft of space, and is priced at £230,000. This has four bay windows, fireplaces in both sitting room and study and a deck or terrace outside.

A third house type, the Links, is a four to five-bedroom dormer bungalow measuring 1,970 square feet and costs from £237,500. It has a large bay window in the sitting room, a gallery overlooking the hallway and flagstone steps to the hall door. Seapoint's coastal location will be a strong selling point. And sitting in traffic jams on the way to the coast on summer weekends will be a thing of the past.
