Clondalkin: from €297,000 Size is one of the best aspects of a new apartment scheme launching this weekend in Clondalkin village. Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is marketing 26 two and three-bedroom apartments at The Gate, a small scheme at the entrance to Millpark, directly opposite Moyle Park and adjoining the Mill Centre in the heart of the village.
Extra-large two-bedroom apartments of 78-85sq m (835-911sq ft) start at €297,000. Two-bedroom duplex penthouses of 96-99sq m (1,033-1,070sq ft) cost from €390,000. With two-bed apartments in other schemes around the city averaging around 56sq m (600sq ft), these apartments are particularly spacious.
A Townpark Estates development, The Gate has been designed by architects Fenton Simons with brick-faced exteriors and attention to internal detail. Kitchens are high gloss cherrywood with integrated appliances. Bathrooms come with top quality tiling and sanitary ware. Wardrobes are fitted in all bedrooms and upper level apartments have at least two sit-out balconies. Ground floor units come with paved patios. Underground car-parking is provided, with a free space per unit.
There is good use of natural light from large windows and patio doors. Kitchens are deliberately screened from living areas and essential storage is provided off entrance halls. Heating is by natural gas and apartments are pre-wired for surround sound.
The recently revamped Clondalkin village has good transport links to the city centre. The N7 and M50 link up a short way from the village and nine bus routes ply to and from the city. The Luas is also close by. Completions are expected by early 2006, according to the selling agent. Viewing is Saturday and Sunday.
