New development of 53 homes on edge of Co Kildare village

Hawthorn Manor is a small development of 53 mostly three and four bedroom family homes just on the edge of the village of Coill Dubh between Prosperous and Allenwood. These luxury A2 and A3 energy rated homes feature the very latest in terms of building quality and design innovations.     Organised around two landscaped green areas, the development is laid out to maximise safety and privacy, with a long-term view of a sustainable neighbourhood in a beautiful setting. The six different house types, designed by John Cross Architecture, are of exceptionally generous size, ranging up to 174sqm/1873sqft. Hawthorn Manor homes are meticulously planned for comfort, to maximize space, and to give you the very best in terms of functional layout. The development also reflects the fact that because families grow your home should too. Over half the houses have been designed with upward expansion in mind, featuring attics suitable for conversion to accommodate an additional en-suite bedroom of over 28 sq m / 300 sq ft. This optional extra is available on request or can be easily adapted later at a time that suits your needs. Every detail has been considered, from the sandstone pavers in the private patios to the wood burning stoves in the living areas, from the modern kitchen to the plentiful storage space throughout. The idyllic pastoral village of Coill Dubh, with some 700 residents, offers all the essentials for a quiet life: a shop, a national school, a church, a post office and of course a local pub. It lies just 10-30 minutes' drive from many of the main towns of Co Kildare and less than 40km from Dublin City. The location is 25 minutes to M50 - by regular Bus Eireann service, from the Coill Dubh, bus stop just 2 minutes' walk from Hawthorn Manor - by train, from nearby Sallins Station (14km away). Given this location, the area is set to grow as more and more people seek a quieter life and more value for money in their purchase of homes. Indeed, there is a definite air of renaissance in the area with the turnaround in the economy and the Dublin effect reaching beyond the capital.
