Co Wexford: from €189,950Buyers looking for either a permanent home or weekend base on the picturesque Hook Peninsula could take a look at a small scheme which is officially launching this week.
PN O'Gorman of New Ross is the selling agent for Whitewater Estuary in Ballyhack, Co Wexford, where construction is well underway and completions are due in May.
Prices seem affordable by Dublin standards and the standard of finish is good. Two-bedroom townhouses of 74sq m (792sq ft) start at €189,950.
Three-bedroom bungalows of 114sq m (1,230sq ft) and three-bed semis with a study and 121sq m (1,300sq ft) of space both cost from €275,000. Four-bedroom detached houses of 149sq m (1,600sq ft) cost from €330,000.
This small estate of 22 houses is 15 minutes from Waterford city via the Ballyhack car ferry and half an hour from Wexford town. Exteriors have a traditional Wexford look, with dormer windows and low roof lines.
Developer Kilcaven has gone the extra mile with interior fittings. Sleek white laminate kitchens come with walnut veneer worktops.
Bathrooms include a power shower and heated towel rail and a fireplace and built-in wardrobes are included. Walls will be painted throughout in neutral colours.
Each house will have its own seeded garden and two car-parking spaces.
