The second phase of Woodlands in Arklow, Co Wicklow, goes on sale this weekend with prices starting from £119,950 (€152,305). Hooke and MacDonald and Richard Bentley are the joint selling agents for this development.
Located at the top end of the town, Woodlands is convenient to the N11 bypass route. Arklow is a rapidly growing town on the south East coast with plenty of amenities and facilities that are increasingly popular with commuters. The newly improved N11 has greatly reduced the journey time from Arklow to Dublin. Commuters can also take the bus or train.
There are 30 houses for sale in the second phase: 12 three-bedroom semi-detached houses, six standard three-bedroom townhouses, 10 three-bedroom courtyard townhouses and two detached three-bedroom bungalows. The floor area of each of the four house-types is the same at 1,100 sq ft.
The first phase of Woodlands launched last March. On completion there will be 146 houses and bungalows in the development; 65 houses were sold in the first phase.
The 10 three-bedroom courtyard townhouses are priced from £119,950, while the six three-bedroom townhouses are priced from £125,000 (€158,305). Built by Noonan Construction, the houses are spacious and can boast a high standard of finish.
The 12 three-bedroom semi-detached houses are priced from £133,000 (€168,875). The three-bedroom detached bungalows are priced from £152,500 (€193,635).
Standard features of the houses include stylish maple wardrobes fitted as per showhouse, feature fireplace, extensive wall-tiling in kitchen, bathroom and en suite and PVC double-glazed windows.
Heating is natural gas-fired central heating. There is no stamp duty for owner occupiers and a first-time buyers grant of £3,000 is available. Completion date for phase two is from September to December.
Noonan Construction has built over 4,000 houses in the past 30 years mainly in Dublin, Arklow, Wexford and Waterford. Some of their recent developments include The Pines and Summerfield in Arklow, Castlecourt in Killiney, St Helen's Village in Rosslare, Redmond Cove in Wexford and Bartra Rock in Dalkey.
