Few locations can rival the peace and serenity offered by driving along the Coast Road, taking in the spectacular views across Galway Bay while also enjoying the convenience of being just a five minute drive from Eyre Square. Rosshill is such a location, and is home to Ross Allta — meaning ‘wild wood’ — a luxurious new residential development on a spacious site of c8.5 acres, which has taken its name from the surrounding Merlin Woods. Ross Allta provides a sylvan setting, less than a five minute drive to Merlin Park Hospital and the Galway Clinic. This luxurious new development features 16 bespoke homes that range in size from 237sq m to 284sq m.
Architects O'Neill & O'Malley have achieved an intimately scaled development by using 10 different house types, each reflecting the individuality of its spacious site. The orientation of the home, its layout, and relationship with the surrounding woodlands gives each home a unique quality. The homes are designed with an A rated energy efficiency to include an air to water heat pump and underfloor heating throughout, and a heat recovery system, designed for optimal living conditions at minimal cost. High spec construction including pre-stressed hollowcore floors throughout and A rated uPVC windows and doors are just some of the standard items at Ross Allta, along with generous PC sums.
Ross Allta also boasts easy access to GMIT, Merlin Park Hospital, The Galway Clinic, and within minutes of the main access routes to Galway including the M6 Galway–Dublin motorway and the new M17 western corridor.
Alan Maxwell MRICS, MSCSI, who is looking after Ross Allta, believes there is a demand for this type of development. “New homes are always going to be of interest in the current market and spacious family homes in the city area have been so difficult to source in recent years," he said. "These homes will facilitate families who want to enjoy a rural setting yet be a very short distance from all that is happening in the city.”
The Ross Allta showhouse is one of seven houses included in phase one, each enjoying independent access to the public road. The spacious site with landscaped gardens and golden coloured gravel creates an impressive entrance to this substantial house, measuring c284sq m. Each house enjoys the benefit of a front porch, ensuring the main hallway is protected from the elements outside. The spacious hallway provides a warm welcome to the ground floor accommodation. The front facing sitting room is an expansive and exquisitely decorated space with a feature panelled wall housing a large stove supplied by Murphy Heating with a stylish glass surround.
Glass double doors lead to the kitchen and open plan dining and living area which runs the width of the rear of the house. A bespoke kitchen by Kreation Kitchens provides the ultimate in luxury and style. The high gloss units are complemented by quality worktops and superior integrated Neff appliances. The kitchen and utility are bursting with clever features and useful solutions for everyday life, such as integrated bin system under the sink, pull-out larder drawers, integrated laundry basket shelves under the washing machine and dryer in the utility, and a useful shirt hanging rail in the utility. All tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms was carefully selected to complement the internal décor from the range at Tubs and Tiles.
The open plan dining and living area is a vast open space, drenched in natural light facilitated through the large feature window wall. Luxury and comfort are to the fore in this beautiful spacious room, overlooking the rear garden with attractive patio. The downstairs accommodation is completed with an office/den and downstairs bathroom.
Upstairs the spacious landing area houses large feature windows. The front facing master bedroom is the ultimate in style and luxury with its large windows, spacious en suite, and ample walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom two also features an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, while bedrooms three and four are spacious double rooms with built-in sliding robes and desk. A fully tiled main bathroom, with bath and separate shower, completes the upstairs accommodation.
The Ross Allta showhouse is launching this weekend and will be open Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 4pm. For more information contact the selling agent DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard on 091 5656261 or visit www.rossallta.ie
