4 of a kind: New builds under an hour from Dublin

Be the first to live in one of these commuter-friendly properties.

IF PHRASES LIKE ‘convenience’ and ‘plenty of space’ are high up on your list of must-haves for a new home, then a new build could be for you.

Thanks to smart planning by developers, it’s getting simpler to find a home that is convenient for both small-town living and city commuting. This week, we’re proving that point by rounding up four new builds that are all within an hour’s drive of Dublin – and some significantly less than that.

Here’s what’s on offer for choosy commuters right now…

Navan, Co Meath

You’ll have to move fast with an offer on this three-bedroom home, as it’s the last one remaining of its style at the Cois Glaisin development. Located in Navan, five minutes from the M3, a 40-minute drive from Dublin city centre and 20 minutes from Blanchardstown, this home has no shortage of amenities nearby.

Like all homes at Cois Glaisin, the property is A-rated for energy. It features gas-fired central heating, a fitted kitchen with an open-plan dining area, a tiled bathroom and guest WC, and fitted wardrobes in two of the three generous bedrooms. The dual aspect, semi-detached home covers a floor area of 1,054 sq ft.

It’s on sale for €255,000.

Features as standard include photovoltaic solar panelling, fitted kitchens and bedroom storage, gas-fired central heating, a rear sandstone patio, levelled and seeded lawns, and a 10-year Homebond guarantee.

Offers open at €310,000.
