Hi All

We are waiting to put down deposit in Longstone & just wondered if anyone on this thread ( who may have since moved in & is living in the estate ) has any details you think we should know - dealing with the builders etc - did all go ok & are they easy to deal with ?

Potentially will be in the same position myself and would be interested in hearing others experience.

I'm stoneleigh. Builders couldn't have been easier to deal with

Moved into Longstone about a month ago and found it to be such an easy transition. We were given the go-ahead to move in a week before Christmas and Wayne (the site manager) could not have been more helpful. We were slightly delayed by 2 days in getting the keys because Longstone's solicitor was delayed but I put this down to the fact that there were a large number of houses getting signed over in a short period of time, but like I said it was 2 days and wasn't really an issue. Builders have been great, Wayne is fantastic if you have any queries so I would have no complaints.

They're laying down fibre lines outside in Longstone today. Guess we can expect to have an alternative to Virgin Media broadband soon.

Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone has been successful in getting them to re hang the en suite door so that it swings out into the bedroom rather than into the en suite?

Hi all,

I have just put a deposit for a 3bed semi in Longstone. The houses look lovely but I have a few concerns about the area, never been to Naas before.

There is going to be a huge new development in Blessington rd just opposite to the golf course, will that be an issue for traffic? Do you think the social housing should be something to keep in mind? How is it safety wise? Is the community good there?

Thanks so much in advance.

Looking at the planning permission for that huge new development, it's not going to be opposite the golf course but down the road, closer to the Ballycane Rd/Blessington Rd junction.

I don't commute so I can't say how bad traffic is during peak times but the council has proposed a Naas Inner Relief Road.

http://www.kildare.ie/CountyCouncil/PublicConsultations-Part8Schemes/RoadsandTransportation/NaasInnerReliefRoad/Naas%20Inner%20Relief%20Brochure%20D.pdf

The proposed above development is also limited to the first phase until the contract for construction for the proposed relief road is signed by the planning authority.

The area is fine atm but could do with a few more services. Not too far from town so walking is a possibility. The social estate still isn't finished and hopefully they won't be too bad.

900 odd new houses to be built across from Longstone. Can't believe this has got the go ahead as the schools, creches, doctors, hospitals are already over run. Traffic is poor in the town and the road to Dublin is log jammed at rush hour. I'd imagine 50% of people moving in will be commuting to Dublin. So this will only get worse.

The relief road was voted down. Any new road is probably years off. It's badly needed at this stage.

The Alf · 17-02-2020 5:44pm

Thanks both for your answers! Shame that the relief road has been voted down. As you said if so many people will be moving there hopefully the amount of services will increase too.

Do you know how busy are the 126 or 737 buses that go to Dublin in the mornings? I wanted to use my electric scooter from Longstone to get the bus (so it should be 5 minutes) but don't know if I can bring it with me in the bus.

Thanks again for your help, appreciate it!

Johnspar · 18-02-2020 1:51pm

No idea how busy the bus service is in the morning's but Go Ahead began operating these routes last year and their website has all details re mobility scooters

Hi there,
How successful were you with these two requests ? The shower head and the the door.
Thanks

Yes actually noticed the door issue too - definitely a problem with the glass door for the shower. I think we might put that idea to them as well. Let me know if you get a response

We don't want to be too cheeky by asking too much but we were also thinking of asking them to put a proper shower head in the main bathroom as its just a rinse hose at the moment. It would be so much more practical for guests/family. Just not sure if it's acceptable to ask for those kinds of things or not?

We went for one of the houses backing onto the golf course too - they were snapped up so quickly. It's worth it for the privacy...and lovely to look out the windows and see greenery!!

How successful were you with these two requests?

dof2020 · 25-02-2020 7:48pm

Hi,

We recently bought a house in Longstone and we were told it’ll be ready for snagging mid March. I’m just wondering could anyone on here recommend someone who did their snag list and were happy with?

Thanks.

Mantis Toboggan · 19-03-2020 10:52am

How does everyone find the heating system?

Anyone getting the whistling sound throughout the night? I'd imagine it's the water heating up?

Never heard it whistle here. Is it coming from the boiler or could it be the vents in the bathroom, sometimes when it's windy, I can hear it too.

We only had one issue with the heating when the weekly scheduled disinfection cycle would run indefinitely and then error out. Turns out, there is a fuse switch at the bottom of the boiler. It must have been tripped at some point and never checked. It was annoying since when we woke up on Saturday morning, the heating would not turn on but the hot water was there.

Hi guys,

Myself and my partner are looking at buying or first house and home together in Longstone. We are interested in the 4 bed detached houses but can only see the larger one in person.

Does anyone on here have any pictures of the smaller or indeed willing to share pictures with us.

Thanks a million

Anybody in the mid or end terraced houses in Longstone? Just wondering how people find them.

If you call the agent they can arrange, you might have to wait with covid but when we viewed they arranged for us to see the other 4 bed detached option. They dont have one as a show house.

Hi all, does anyone have issues getting a mobile phone reception in the house due to the insulation? Has anyone purchased or know of someone who has purchased some kind of mobile phone booster and if you have the details? Thanks

Yeah it's a known problem, if you have WIFI in the house just turn on WI-FI calling on your phone.

I have a quick question regarding the social housing but more in relation to the development behind Longstone and off Craddockstown Road. There are 70 odd social and affordable houses built some of which are already occupied which I saw last week. The estate agent has confirmed during a recent viewing that there is to be a cycle way/walkway linking the two estates in the far left corner beside no.165. Is this a concern to any residents who have already bought in Longstone? I am not sure of the amount of footfall that will exist so just wanted to gauge opinion from anyone who has bought already or thinking of buying. Thanks

Hi, I think the walkway is on the opposite side beside no.47 (Connecting Stoneleigh with Longstone)because beside no.165 there is already a massive wall built which leads into a field. Also it doesn’t link up the two estates because they’re not directly behind each other. There’s a fields and a golf course in between which isn’t an issue.

I got a dual band repeater (JS-DB900/1800)but didn't get a chance to install it yet. tested it when i was expecting a call and it worked perfectly. it uses coax cable so should be able to re-use the cable already wired in the house for sky.

PatO2020 · 14-07-2020 11:11am

Yes there is a walkway beside no.47 to link Stoneleigh and Longstone but it is in our contract and was raised by our solicitor that there is to be a second one beside no.165 and a right of way for the other estate through Longstone. This as I say was confirmed by CME also as I queried it straight away. I have seen the big wall in place in that corner and understand that the other estate is on the opposite side of the field in between but again I've been told by CME that there is to be a walkway/cycleway through that field and presumably that wall will be pulled down (strange I know..). The golf course won't be affected as it's not going to go through it but rather the field in between.

Hi! I'm going to be moving to Longstone in a few weeks and just wondering what broadband companies are available there? I have no Eircode yet so I can't really check availability and even using an existing house eircode it says that there's no availability there but I assume that people living there already have broadband.

Any help is much appreciated!

Did you get SIRO broadband installed or do you know anyone in Stoneleigh that has it already?

It just became available in Longstone and i'm trying to get my head around how the router will be able to sit in the utility room upstairs (4 bed semi-d) when the house isn't wired for optic cable from the inlet box, just coax.

Hey did you move in yet? Naas is absolutely fine place to live to be honest. I lived there for 20 + years and grew up there. Although people saying its facilities and amenities are stretched it has a lot. Multiple schools, multiple supermarkets - Tescos x 2, Dunnes, Aldi x 2 , Lidl x 2, Supervalu. Multiple pubs, gyms , restaurants etc. You would pay a lot more money in Rathcoole/Dublin for a lot less! RE Traffic it can be bad but hopefully you can work from home 2/3 days a week? It's going to be bad in most commuter towns. Maybe Kill/Johnstown is better as closer to N7

Social housing you will get 10% in most new housing estates now i believe. I hope this was not an issue for you.

126 is fairly busy but you will normally get a seat, we also khave green bus to red cow luas and we have train from sallins to Heuston with a feeder bus from Naas regularly.

You would have to assume the field would be the remainder of the social housing as i don't believe the full 74 social houses have been built. If you look on Google maps satellite you get a good idea. Good post thanks for sharing.

Can anyone else in semi detached houses hear exactly everything everything from next door?

Like music when downstairs. Then in the main bedroom upstairs like conversations, phones buzzing as alarms and riding?

In case it’s of any interest to anyone watching these homes; this day last year price of the 3 bed semi D was €350,000, today it’s €360,000. The 4 bed detached The Woods was €445,000, and now €460,000.

Price is hardly gone up for the same houses? Probably just as a result of modified houses or south facing back gardens.

Same houses as far as I’m aware, same name and square footage and the same photos, description and videos being used. I took a note last April as I was interested to see what would happen over the course of the following months in a pandemic etc. I also took a note of Bellingsfield at the time, Skylark has gone from €475k to €490. It’d be interesting to see if they have made any changes that they haven’t exactly advertised or is this just crazy 12 month inflation. You may be right re gardens though. I’d have assumed if the houses themselves were in any way different they’d rename them. I could be wrong but just sharing the observation :-)

Mantis Toboggan · 08-04-2021 11:46am

It's generally 15k extra for a South facing garden so I'd say that's it.

Hi there,
I was offered one of the show houses. Does anybody recommend to buy it? Or it is not wise given it is overseen and two years old since they were built.
Is there any issue I need to be aware of about longstone development or is everything all happiness and joy?

Pudsey123 · 28-05-2021 8:00am

I heard from a friend of mine that prices for 4 bed fairways gone up to 500k?
