Fairbrook is the latest tranche of brand new three- and four-bedroom houses to come on the market in Swords. Built by Gannon Homes, it follows the Miller's Glen scheme in which 100 new houses were launched last September and which had househunters lining up to snag a home.

This scheme of 85 homes is the next phase of about 1,000 homes ultimately earmarked for development on surrounding lands. Gerry Gannon recently told the banking inquiry the development would not have been possible without the support of Nama, to which his loans were transferred in 2010.

By November all the houses at Miller’s Glen had been sold and this year the firm has more than doubled its output.

Situated on Glen Ellan Road, the houses are opposite two new primary schools: Swords Educate Together and Gaelscoil Bhrian Bóroimhe.

This estate is about two miles north of Swords main street with a neighbourhood shopping centre currently being constructed. The airport is a 10-minute drive away and the area has good bus services to the city centre.
