Drumnigh Manor, Portmarnock

Hi，

Do you know where we can see the street plan，they should let buyer know this when they viewing the showhouse😑 I'm pretty sure most people didn't know about this plan until it was built outside recently.Because they never told.

We’re in the middle row (68-77) and were told that apart from the bathrooms which are being tiled, flooring is not being provided. We contacted the builder to get the details for the company who did the show house. Feel free to PM if you want those details.

We are the same that my house on the right side has nearly no bricks. The agent never mentioned that to me and I was so disappointed when seeing the house. Wondering if there is anything we can do now? Or too late.

Thanks for providing this example. I think we should communicate this with the builder together to bring them some pressure. Anyone who has the same issue welcome to PM me.

Pm your phone number ，i invite you to the whatapp group.

Hi there,

We are looking at buying in the current DM phase being sold (Judy indicated an October completion - so I’m estimating a Jan move in time?!). Would love to hear from those already living there:

• How is the community atmosphere in the estate? We would be moving from city centre apartment living which is quite anonymous so love the idea of getting to know our neighbours.
• How do people find the commute in to town (my husband and I would likely be commuting about 2 days per week)?
• How do you find the accessibility to portmarnock village and malahide? I know it’s only a short drive but traffic seems to be an issue in the area so presumably on nice days it can be a challenge?
• From looking at the dublin projected flood planes, looks like portmarnock could be in trouble in the coming years - do you know of any plans to protect against this in the area?

Hope I’m not coming across as negative above - the houses are absolutely lovely, unmatched in terms of quality and we love the idea of a more beach lifestyle. Just want to make sure we make a fully informed decision!

Thanks in advance!

Laura

Hey Knex, will pm you to request joining the group, thanks.

Hi all,

We visited the showhouse a few days ago and really liked the layout and finishes. As we have never lived in a semi-detached house before (lived outside of Ireland) I wanted to check in with the group to see what your views are around the sound insolation from outside noise as well as the neighbor?

Finally did anyone make changes to the std finishes?

Thank you all :)

We’re in the middle of this row on the left here. Expect snagging toward end of Feb.

Kitchen still to be installed and electrics finished, some paining as well.

Can’t come quick enough! :)

Thanks Knex! Yes we were also inside the showhouse when a plane was overhead and didn't hear a thing. Very impressed with the insulation. Really its about the noise insulation between the neighbors that is my only concern, besides that the houses look amazing.

Hey folks,

I'm interested in hearing about the broadband/ TV options that people have gone for?

We are looking at adjusting some of the sockets / data / TV points so any feedback or recommendations I would be grateful for.

Thanks

Regarding schools, our 5 year old will start at Sutton Park school in September. We visited the school and really liked it. Keen to hear if any others send or are thinking of sending to Sutton Park. We can group together on drop offs & pick ups.

Hi deposit put down last week and told sept October and reading messages now I’m wondering what you all mean saying no bricks on front of houses in new phase? i mean I know it’s not exact same as showhouse but they never said brickwork be different although judging by plans it’s completely diff layout very hard to tell by showhouse as new phase seems completely diff !

also Can I be added to group ? Thanks

..hi could I be added to what’s app group not resident yet but deposit down on one that’s due for completion sept /oct if it’s set up thanks

Would love to get the add too. Not a current resident but we have put our deposit down on a 4 bed due to complete in Sept. Cheers

Hi! I'm not a resident yet but have put the deposit down for a house to be completed in September 2022. The house is fantastic although it will have less bricks on the facade compared to the one we visited in the showroom :-(.

Someone knows what are the options in regards of kitchen alterations?

Are you aware of possible delays that could postpone the release date?

Would it be possible to be added to the whatsapp group?

Looking forward to meet you neighbours :-) ...

Hey guys!

Wondering does anyone know what type of alterations Nolan Kitchens will make? It doesn't look like we'll have a kitchen island in our property - do you reckon that's something that could be worked on with Nolan's or would that depend on the plans the builders are working towards?

They should let you add a kitchen island, different integrated bin options, and some minor changes, anything like changing designs or surfaces will probably be rejected. Nolan kitchens come in toward the end of the build and fit the kitchens.

Hi, could you add me to the WhatsApp group? Thank you

Hi,

We put down a deposit for a 4 bedroom + study house that will be completed in Sept/Oct. We have one question that we couldn't get the answer from the agent. If anyone who already lives there or has knowledge around it could help, that would be appreciated!

Question: How are the ethernet ports located in the house? Is it possible to get internet cable connection in every floor or is it only in one place where you connect the router? We need cabled internet connections in different rooms for Smart TV, desktop etc. so if this is not the case, we will try to do it during the building phase. If anyone went through this already, it would be a big help if you can share your experience.

Thank you!

Hi Sacapel,

Do you mind me asking what type of house you are purchasing and what bedroom will be smaller? We are due to move into a 4 bed with study in September and they didn't mention any changes to the size of the house. Just that the brickwork would cover the groundfloor.

Cheers,

David

Hello. Similar to the above, have put a deposit down for a house due for completion in September. Would be great to be added to the WhatsApp group too please. Thanks

Hi All,

Hope all the current resident at Drumnigh Manor are enjoying the estate.

I recently got an email from HMD that Phase 3 is about to launch from plans. I wanted to check how is the type F house?

The show houses available for viewing don’t include the type F house. How different is the F type house from the 4 bedroom with study house? Any pros/cons of type F house?

Thanks!
