Dublin 18: from €360,000 The second phase of the Brennanstown scheme near Cabinteely village in Dublin 18 is being released today by Sherry FitzGerald.

Phase one comprised houses which were sold last September, and since then work has been carried out on nearby apartments, 25 of which are now for sale.

One-bedroom apartments start at €360,000, while two-bed apartments cost from €395,000 and two-bed own-door apartments start at €405,000.

More apartments will be released in later phases, as will detached houses.

The exterior of the apartment blocks resemble the sort of scheme you'd find in a holiday resort, with alternating bands of windows and pale render. Each apartment has a balcony or terrace.

Inside, the apartments have a sleek look, with German Pronorm kitchens, Whirlpool and Indesit appliances, and smooth porcelain floor tiles.

The door handles and light switches are in stainless steel and chrome.

The bathrooms have white sanitary ware and chrome fittings, including lever-operated taps.

In the livingrooms, stylish flame-effect (but electric) fires are designed to give a focal point.

The apartments have been designed to give generous living and bedroom space, while the bathrooms are fairly compact. This is a good way of maximising space in an apartment.

The main bathrooms have showers while the en suites have baths with shower attachments. This is to allow apartment owners to keep having baths while they have guests staying!

The window sizes are generous with many, but not all, apartments having windows facing two different aspects (i.e., south and west). The smooth white internal walls would be easy to paint a different colour should you wish.

The scheme, which has been built by Tudor Homes, will be sold from show apartments today, tomorrow and at the weekend.
