At the end of 2022, Kingscroft Developments, one of Ireland’s leading housebuilders launched its first foray into the Galway market with the initial release of homes at its new development in Oranmore, Cnoc an Chaisleáin.
Comprising a wide range of houses, duplexes and apartments with two bedroom, three bedroom and four bedroom options, Cnoc an Chaisleáin is the perfect choice for every type of buyer, from commuting professionals to growing families to downsizers looking for a great home in a peaceful location. With planning for more than 200 homes, it is an important development of scale and will provide much-needed homes to the undersupplied Galway market.
Situated in Oranmore village and with a wide range of local amenities and services on offer, Cnoc an Chaisleáin is the perfect match for professionals who want a relaxed lifestyle without compromising on location. It is close to Galway city, which is just 8km away and easily reached by a range of transport options, including train and bus services. Residents also have immediate access to Ireland’s national road network, including the motorways to both Dublin and Limerick.
Sole agent on the development, Sherry FitzGerald New Homes, has reported strong success with 35 homes sold since the showhouse doors opened at the end of November 2022. Kingscroft Developments, which has predominantly delivered homes in the greater Dublin area along with locations in counties such as Kildare, Meath, Laois and Wicklow, is delighted with the response to date.
The properties released up to now comprised three bed semidetached, four bed semidetached and four bed detached homes; all three bed semidetached and four bed detached homes are currently sale agreed, however there will be further releases of those house types in future phases.
At present there are a limited number of four bed semidetached homes available, with options varying from 130.7 to 157.3sq m (1,407 to 1,693sq ft ). Prices start from €455,000 for the options currently available.
Construction for phase one is well advanced on site and the first purchasers will be in their homes this summer.
The homes in Cnoc an Chaisleáin are bright and spacious with a real sense of luxury and comfort. The houses are all of concrete block construction and benefit from having an A2 BER with the associated benefit of high efficiency and low running costs. Heating is by a high efficiency air to water heat pump system. Stylish, contemporary fitted kitchens are provided to each home along with fitted wardrobes in selected bedrooms. The bathrooms and en suites are finished with quality sanitary ware with coordinated wall tiling. All homes come with a generous electrical specification to include data and TV points in all bedrooms, kitchen and living room.
Patrick Cormican of Sherry FitzGerald New Homes commented on the take up levels to date while adding there is high demand for the next release: “We are delighted to report such strong sales in this first phase, it further demonstrates the demand for new homes in the Galway market, especially amongst the first-time buyer market and we anticipate strong demand in the next releases.”
The showhouse is on open view on Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 2pm.
Further homes in Cnoc an Chaisleain will come to market later this year and agent Sherry FitzGerald New Homes is encouraging interested parties to register their interest for the future phases at www.kingscroftoranmore.ie or by calling 091 569123.
