A home at Luttrellstown Gate in Dublin 15 might be the ideal spot for a bit of celebrity spotting. Probably best known for being the venue for the wedding of footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria back in 1999, neighbouring Luttrellstown Castle has also played host to many other known sports stars and actors through the years who chose the five-star resort for their big day.
The development by Castlethorn is adjacent to the grounds of the castle and is surrounded by green space in the form of the hotel grounds, golf clubs and sports pitches, but with the convenience of Coolmine train station just a short stroll away. For those looking for more nature and activity, the Phoenix Park and Strawberry Beds are five minutes away by car.
There will be 28 houses launched in this first phase, with a total of 123 houses in the development when it’s complete to include three- and four-bed terraced and semidetached houses.
Available three-bed terraced houses, measuring 104sq m-112sq m (1,119sq ft-1,210sq ft), are priced from €525,000-€580,000.
