Djouce Meadows is a newly built, low-density housing estate nestled in the heart of Roundwood village. The development of just 20 houses, by Ashcroft Developments and marketed by Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty, derives its name from Djouce Mountain close by. The estate is constructed surrounding a centralised green space and includes a selection of two, three, and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached properties.
The location of Djouce Meadows places all the facilities of the quaint Wicklow village effortlessly within reach. Roundwood Stores, a café and grocers managed by Avoca cofounder Simon Pratt and his wife Monique McQuaid, together with Avoca alumni, are part of the village’s attractions. Also included is their restaurant, The Coach House.
The homes in Djouce Meadows vary in size between 87sq m and 168sq m (939sq ft to 1,809sq ft), offering a diverse selection suitable for a variety of prospective homeowners, including first-time buyers and growing families. The assortment includes two semi-detached two-bedroom houses priced at €435,000 with an area of 87 sq m (939 sq ft), fourteen three-bedroom semi-detached houses (106sqm/1,147 sq ft) for €498,500, a three-bedroomed semi-detached house at €530,000, and three four-bedroom detached properties (168 sq m/1,809 sq ft) each priced at €625,000.
Regarding their exterior, the houses have a brick and render finish requiring minimal upkeep. Cobblelocked driveways come pre-wired for electric vehicle charging installation. A-rated for energy efficiency, the double-glazed windows ensure a cosy stay, whilst patio doors lead out from every house to a seeded back garden.
Internally, the homes come with a fresh white paint finish which provides a neat blank canvas for new owners. Kitchens, fitted by Cawleys, feature island worktops in all three and four-bedroom properties. However, kitchen appliances are not included in the sale of these properties, excluding the four-bedroom detached homes, so prospective buyers will necessitate sourcing appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and washing machines themselves.
The bathrooms are finished with tiling, mirroring that of the show house. In the two and three-bedroom properties, there is a family bathroom situated on the first floor. All houses are completed with fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms.
Regarding the aspect of sustainability, every home is fitted with an air-to-water heat pump system, possesses superior insulation, and has an A-rating for energy efficiency.
Educational institutions in the vicinity encompass a local school right in the village, St Laurence O’Toole’s, and East Glendalough, a mixed comprehensive secondary school. Additional alternatives can be found in the proximate seaside towns of Greystones and Bray, both approximately a 20-minute car journey away. For commuters, the city centre is about a 45-minute drive from Roundwood during non-peak hours.
The allure of living in Roundwood is primarily the stunning natural environment right outside your door. The Roundwood Reservoir accompanied by the adjacent Vartry Trails and woodland are situated right next to the village. The renowned monastic location at Glendalough, boasting breathtaking mountains and lakes, is less than a quarter of an hour drive away.
It’s also possible to trek to Lough Dan and its neighbouring peaks of Scarr, Kanturk with the Wicklow Way trail just outside the township. Points of interest like Powerscourt House and Gardens, including the Powerscourt Waterfall, are in close proximity as well.
