The Keepers Lock scheme, nestled in Clonburris, Dublin 22, is an exciting development by Kelland Homes, being managed by DNG New Homes. As part of its initial phase, it is releasing 40 new residences to the market. These include a variety of three-bedroom homes starting at €435,000, and four-bedroom homes commencing at €525,000.
The development, projected to be fully finished by November, will eventually host 256 units. The wide offering is set to include two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom duplexes plus three- and four-bedroom houses. Conveniently situated near Clondalkin village – a brisk five-minute drive or a leisurely 20-minute stroll – and adjacent to the Grand Canal greenway, Keepers Lock provides a fantastic spot for daily recreational walks, runs and cycling.
This phase of the development is set to release 35 three-bedroom houses, which feature mid- and end-terrace options called the Daisy I & II (113sq m/1,216sq ft), tagged with a starting price of €435,000. Furthermore, it presents two additional three-bedroom end-terrace options at a higher price – the Poppy (111sq m/1,189sq ft) starting at €460,000 and the slightly larger Lily beginning at €470,000.
In addition, prospective buyers can choose from two distinct categories of four-bedroom homes: one semi-detached variant, the Clover (133sq m/1,429sq ft), priced from €495,000, and a detached version, the Honeysuckle (133sq m/1,428sq ft), starting at €525,000.
Every home in the Keepers Lock scheme are A-rated and completely equipped with grey fitted kitchens, a Neff oven and electric hob, and incorporates an integrated dishwasher and fridge-freezer, complete with a separate utility room. Bathrooms and en suites are furnished with tiled floors and wet areas, heated towel rails, sanitary ware, and a twin shower head.
Upon occupancy, each resident becomes a member of the estate’s management company, accountable for supervising the estate’s dealing and daily operations with a yearly fee between €580-€620. Furthermore, each home is backed by a ten-year Homebond structural guarantee as well as latent defects insurance and five years’ mechanical and electrical defects insurance.
Keepers Lock, a desirable area for those who commute, is conveniently located within a short, five-minute stroll to Clondalkin Fonthill railway station. Travellers can get to Heuston station in the heart of Dublin city in roughly 12 minutes. The M50 is readily accessible and the Luas park-and-ride system at Red Cow is merely a 10-minute drive away.
Selling agent DNG New Homes refers to Clonburris as an emerging urban district destined to house upwards of 9,000 residences in time.
The Help to Buy scheme is available for those seeking to purchase their first homes in this development, assuming the units are valued below the €500,000 limit. This scheme allows potential homeowners to claim either a maximum of €30,000 or 10% of the new home’s purchase price. The First Home shared-equity scheme offers another option whereby the government and contributing banks cover up to 30% (20% if coupled with Help to Buy) of the home’s cost to bridge the gap between the cost of the home and a first-time buyer’s mortgage. In the south Dublin jurisdiction, the maximum price for eligible properties is set at €475,000.
