Ask about money.com > General Financial Issues > Location, Location, Location Re: "The Kilns", Portmarnock? any thoughts on the development? I doubt they will get pp for gates - the entrance is very close to the traffic lights and I'd imagine they would be concerned about blocking the lights while waiting for the gates to open. I bought a two-bed in block 4. I have been out on site a few times and the engineers seem fairly helpful. Completely agree about Sherry-Fitz's attitude - you'd swear you were ruining their day! You've only spent a few hundred k, why the hell are you bothering them with stupid questions about management fees, car parking & security gates? Can anyone confirm if we've use of the attics? The lovely people at SF said no, but the guys on site disagreed! Also, did anyone else notice the loss of the storage cupboard at the top of the stairs - now the water-tank is slap bang in the middle of the storage room off the living area - hardly ideal! The engineer said Block 4 would be good to go by the end of March - currently awaiting the roof to on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We (Seabrook Manor) are having gates installed (as per the planning permission) at the moment. This took legal action to get accomplished (taken by Fingal County Council against the developers). My advice: ensure that you keep up to date with this issue. Gates are pretty much a necessity in the area. There have been numerous instances of damage to cars in our development and the locals have taken to using our development as a car park and wating area. I would be surprised if the builders push too hard to get gates installed, unless they were denied initially on a technicality. Why don't you contact Fingal County Council to find out why permission was originally refused? Portmarnock four-bed duplexes from €720k Four-bedroom duplexes and terraced houses have been released for sale for the first time at The Kilns on Station Road in Portmarnock, north Co Dublin. A total of 100 units were sold off the plans in this 3.8 acre development last year and nine four-bedroom units have now been released through Sherry FitzGerald to coincide with the opening of the four-bed showhouses. Owner-occupiers who buy the new homes will qualify for reduced rates of stamp duty and the units should be ready for occupation between late spring and summer, with the entire development scheduled for completion late next year. The scheme, by Ravenshall Developments, comprises 128 units including one and two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplexes and four-bedroom townhouses. There are no apartments for sale in this phase but potential buyers can register their interest this weekend in the remaining one and two-bedroom apartments which will be released this summer. Four-bedroom duplexes measuring 170 square metres are priced from€720,000 while four-bedroom terraced houses, which measure between 173 and 197 square metres, are available from €850,000. Designed by architects Pierse & Associates, the development is landscaped with lots of green open spaces and the apartments are designed to be spacious. The standard features include champagne coloured kitchen units with brown marble counters and Neff appliances, sandstone fireplaces with gas fire insets and built-in wardrobes in each bedroom. Each bathroom and en suite has chrome fittings and ceramic wall tiles, and other features include gas-fired central heating with thermostatically controlled radiators, wiring for cable television and telephone points in three rooms and wiring for broadband. All of the apartments have either a terrace or balcony and some ground floor properties have front and rear gardens or decked areas. Underground car parking is included in the price. Portmarnock Dart station is opposite the development and Portmarnock village has a range of amenities. Malahide, Sutton and Howth with their boutiques and restaurants are within a short drive, and there are three golf clubs in the area - Portmarnock Links, Portmarnock Golf Club and Malahide Golf Club. Bookings will be taken at showhouses at The Kilns today from 11am and 1pm. For more information contact Sherry FitzGerald on 01-6671888.
