Best known for its high volume starter-home developments, Menolly Homes is aiming at a different segment of the market with The Headlands, off Putland Road in Bray, Co Wicklow.

Twenty townhouses are being launched this weekend with prices starting at £255,000 (€323,783). Ross McParland is the selling agent.

Located on a 10-acre site, which was formerly part of the adjacent Presentation boys college grounds, the development will ultimately comprise a mix of 31 townhouses and 100 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

There are 14 three-bedroom townhouses priced from £255,000 (€323,783) and six four-bedroom houses which cost from £260,000 (€330,132) in this release - both house types are 1,200 sq ft.

The scheme is surrounded by towering mature trees and is accessed via a long driveway. The houses have a brick elevation, natural slate roofs and timber-framed windows.

Both house types are similar downstairs. The lounge features coving, a maple fireplace with a black marble inset and a gas fire.

The kitchen/diner has beech fitted units and comes with a range of integrated appliances as standard. The diningroom leads to a sunroom-style area with a pine-lined ceiling.

The three-bedroom houses have two double bedrooms and a single bedroom.

Both doubles have extensive wardrobe space. The main bedroom has a mosaic-tiled shower en suite and a walk-in wardrobe. The single room is substantial with fitted panelled wardrobes.

The four-bedroom house is quite similar to the three-bedroom in layout downstairs.

Upstairs there are two single rooms, both of which have fitted wardrobes and one of which has a vanity unit.

The showhouses will open at the weekends from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
