CO WICKLOW: FROM €225,000:FIFTEEN two-bedroom own-door apartments and 15 three-bedroom duplexes are being sold by a receiver at Waltrim Grove on Killarney Road in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Douglas Newman Good is handling the sales of the homes which were built by Astondale Homes.

Prices have been cut to an average €225,000 for the apartments and to €295,000-€299,500 for the duplexes: a year-and-a-half ago prices started at €350,000 and that was after a 20 per cent price cut following a 2007 launch. Currently, the two-bed show unit costs €235,000 and the three-bed show unit €315,000. There is one smaller two-bedroom apartment for sale for €195,000.

The units are all a good size – the two-beds are 72.2sq m (783sq ft), the duplexes 86.3-104sq m (929-1,119sq ft) – and finished to a high standard.

Bathrooms have granite ledges behind sinks and have slate-coloured porcelain tiles on floors. Nolan’s walnut or cream gloss fitted kitchens – separate from the livingroom/diningroom area – come as standard. Bedrooms have good-sized fitted wardrobes; livingrooms are wired for surroundsound.

The apartments are entered from the rear of the blocks and face onto Killarney Road – but they are well sheltered from traffic by mature trees. Duplexes at the front look onto green spaces and a children’s soft play area.

All units have patio gardens or large balconies, all very private. The ground floor patios are big enough to accommodate garden sheds and the balconies have plenty of space for dining outside.

All units come with a private parking space. In all there are 70 homes in the development which is entered through the Saran Wood development off Killarney Road.
