Detached three- and four-bedroom houses are being launched to the market by Kelly Walsh estate agents at Homeland Group’s new Watson Place development in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16. There will be nine properties available in its first release, including two two-storey three-bedroom houses (134sq m/153sq m) from €925,000, and seven three-storey four-bedroom houses (194sq m-203sq m) from €1.175 million.

Once completed, Watson Place will comprise just 16 two-, three- and four-bedroom homes surrounding Ballyroan House. The house itself, circa 1850, was home to Dublin tea merchant Joshua Watson, the new development’s namesake. The old house is now being “sensitively restored and extended”, according to the selling agent, to create eight one- and two-bedroom apartments.

This development will be the third by the Homeland Group in the area, joining previous schemes Silveracre and Bolton Park.
