A new development of four-bedroomed family homes launches to the market in Shankill, Co Dublin this weekend.
The Starlings is a scheme of 21 three-storey houses, that has been designed with efficiency in mind. All units have an A3 Ber rating, helped by the high levels of insulation used in the build, a solar panel on the roof of each property to help minimise hot water costs, and the use of high efficiency gas condensing boilers and low emission glazing will make bills more manageable. Adjustable home heating is controlled through three different zones allowing energy consumption to be kept in check.
Prices start from €335,000 for a mid-terrace property measuring 138 sq m (1,490 sq ft) up to €389,000 for an end-of-terrace house measuring 145 sq m (1,562 sq ft) with a south-facing garden. The development is being sold jointly by Sherry FitzGerald New Homes and Allen and Townsend.
The showhouses have been fitted out by interior designer Kari Roca. Each property comes with a painted-look kitchen that resembles an in-frame fitted design. The kitchen comprises two tones of soothing pale sage green and has laminate countertops.
Along with a wc on the on the ground floor, the properties come with fitted and tiled bathrooms; wardrobes in three of the four bedrooms and sizeable storage cupboards on each landing. There are three doubles and one single bedroom. Two of the doubles have en suite shower rooms.
Located on Shanganagh Road, just behind St Anne’s Church on the northside of Shankill village, the estate is less than a five-minute walk from Shankill Dart station and is a 10-minute walk from Shankill village.
The houses are also covered by Homebond’s 10-year guarantee and are due to be completed in October.
Each property has off-street parking for up to two cars.
The Starlings is built by Kingscroft Developments who recently completed the Holywell development in Kilcoole.
The showhome will be on view this Saturday, August 31st, and Sunday, September 1st, from 2pm to 5pm.
