Drogheda/from €235,000: Good-sized traditional three-bedroom semis go on sale this weekend at Mornington Manor, near the pretty estuary village of Mornington, five km from Drogheda.
Hamilton Osborne King is quoting from €235,000 for eight three-bedroom semis of 107 sq m (1,159 sq ft).
Located in East Meath, Mornington Manor's coastal setting will attract families who will appreciate that the site is a few minutes' walk from a beach. For commuters, the new M1 has eased journey time considerably and the train journey from Drogheda to Connolly station takes 30 minutes.
High Park Developments has an established reputation in the north Dublin and Co Meath areas, with Kelly Bay in Skerries and Park View in Swords among their best-known schemes. The houses have two-thirds brick fronts with porches and good front gardens with driveways.
Windows are large and almost to the floor in the sittingroom, allowing plenty of natural light to the living areas.
A fireplace is standard in all sittingrooms. Double doors open from here to an L-shaped kitchen/diningroom with a utility room off and glass doors to the garden. Kitchen units are either traditional Shaker-style or country cream. No appliances as standard.
Upstairs are three fair-sized bedrooms, with an en suite shower off the largest room and fitted wardrobes.
Town-sized gardens will be levelled and seeded, with a low brick boundary wall to the front. Houses bought this weekend will be ready to move into by summer 2004 according to the selling agent.
