New housing estate selling off the plans in Blanchardstown

fletch · 06-03-2013 05:38PM #1

Spotted an "exclusive" new development of 6 detatched houses being built just before The Twelfth Lock called Cherangani. Here's a link to them.
Surely these will never sell, wedged between the N3, M50 and the trainline? I'm struggling to think of somewhere I'd less like to live. The plot looks very cramped for 6 large detatched houses!
And they are selling off the plans....thought that madness finished back in 2008?

I think its a good location. Can't see them getting thst money. Mind you there is a shortage of houses for sale in the D15 area.

Really? :eek:

The N3 is only metres away, as is the M50. I can't imagine enjoying sitting in my garden on a Summers day listening to the traffic thundering by interspersed with the odd train.

Yes but these house are for the more affluent people...........such as buckos from castleknock etc..............not talking about the spawn off certain parts of d15..........id imagine gates and keypad entry to this estate and civilised patrons..........no single mothers with 500 hundreds kids and whacker the taxi man who decides to run a garage out the front of his house...................

you have the right idea of the location - in between m50, n3, train, and also the 12th lock pub could be a noise issue.

would not fancy living there.

amdublin · 06-03-2013 10:52PM

I think it's a nice location.

If the motorway and railway weren't so close, I'd agree with you as it's right on the canal. But unfortunately they are there, so it's a pretty bad location imo.

Interesting name for the estate!

Morag · 06-03-2013 11:28PM

If they are a high end build ( which I would expect in that area) then tripple glaze windows would cut a lot of the noise.

Fair enough although not in the garden. And the location is closer to Blanchardstown via the roads than Castleknock.
I suppose Castleknock Mews does seem to have sold all their units and it is closer to the M50 so maybe there are potential buyers

Another local-ish development selling off plans is this small one in Dunboyne, which I know isn't D15 but isn't far off and is frequented daily by a lot of D15ers I know (including me!). http://www.property.ie/property-for-sale/The-Laurels-Rooske-Road-Dunboyne-Co-Meath/677349/ Three bed semi-ds. Just noticed they have gone up 10 grand in price since last week! Deffo advertised for 269 previously, and had no 'Excess' before the price. (Just checked this on Collapso to verify.)
This thread prompted me to look up Huntington Lodge in Castleknock to see what had happened to that. Sale agreed on sites 1 to 5 according to this: http://www.myhome.ie/residential/brochure/site-no-1-5-huntington-lodge-castleknock-road-castleknock-dublin-15/1774526

I would hate that location, you would have no peace in your garden. An outside space would be high on my list of requirements for a new home.

chucknorris · 07-03-2013 08:56AM

Would potential buyers have no recourse or ground to stand on in regard to sound barriers?

The noise is very bad there, and even worse on a clear night.

Not retrospectively, the motorway was built based on existing land use, and the developer would have had to include any further noise barriers in his planning application. If he didn't, then the boundary stays as it is.

Wouldnt be my noisy polluted cup of tea. Actually, vibration would be the worst thing about living there.

chucknorris · 07-03-2013 10:32AM

That spot is as noisy as it gets. The road in to it however is secluded.

You'll probably have to in order to build it yourself. How long ago has that 'development' been started ? All that's there is a set of foundations and it looks like any other ghost estate around the country.

JupiterKid · 07-03-2013 01:25PM

Terrible location - far too noisy with the M50/N3 interchange and the railway line right on top of this site.

I suspect it's named Cherangani after the bungalow that sat on this site. As for Huntington Lodge nearby on the Castleknock Road, no sign of anything being built on this site since work was abandoned here about 5 years ago.

Foundations seemed to have been put down to prevent the planning permission to expire. I've known of people do that before.

I've been living in Carpenterstown for 4 1/2 years now and it's always been the same in that spot. So even longer than that. Worse part is, I suspect those foundations may need to be redone if the houses are to ever be built.

dickwod1 · 11-03-2013 12:50PM

Yeah I wouldn't be mad on the location - The M50 and N3 running by the side of the house, If they weren't there it would be a lovely spot (but they are!)

Thats a violation of Building Control, if you submit a commencement on structures in your permission you have to complete it to weather proof condition. If they suspect developers of chancing what you suggest, and they have funds to be building at all, then itll be a trip to Court

murphf · 11-03-2013 01:50PM

Yep wouldn't fancy it myself.. We had relatives stay at the 12th lock last weekend and they didnt get a wink of sleep between the trains and the bar .. They have a large outdoor smoking area so imagine that would affect these houses

triple-M · 11-03-2013 07:22PM

did they ever build anything on the "huntington lodge" site just up the canal opposite the train station ,i havent been up that way in a while

They are working on it this week, a lot of activity yesterday, looks like a wooden frame build on the right hand side part of the site.

nudger · 12-04-2013 10:40PM

Passed by today and the roof is on just to be slated, big house 2500sq ft+ in my estimation.

barnard · 03-11-2013 11:32PM

Actually it is no more noisy there than any other part of Blanchardstown. Its not the M50 you hear but only one of the exits to the N3. You can hear the water running from the lock and the gardens are towards the back with the houses acting as noise break.

I'd imagine that alone would make the traffic noise a big issue.
