Seaview Rathnew
Development of 163 dwellings- currently under construction- Estimated at 270,000
A lot of potential to be a nice development althought the area its in isn’t maintained very well by the council as its on the edge of Wicklow/Rathnew. It has a new primary and secondary school within walking distance.

Bristlewood
Located in the sought location within the town. The surrounding area mainly consists of one of houses , because of this there isn’t a lot of scope for your views to be interrupted. There has been an awful lot of planning applications for this site through the various owners , with the most recent being last week. Which is to alter the house types of the permission they were only granted 3 months ago.

Lands at Tinakilly
This is located off the main Rathnew/ Wicklow Road . This area has a potential to be developed to circa 700 houses.
The developer seem to be new to the residential development due to their incomplete applications and their latest estate layout which was described as monotonous by the planners.
Its one for the future.

Any updates on this?

Part of this has the go-ahead, with the road and 26 homes to start...

Do you have a source for "Burkeen Hall has changed its name to The Oaks"?
These two are completely different estates, almost a kilometre apart. There's a third estate, Burkeen, in between.

Burkeen Hall has changed its name to The Oaks. Sesille Oaks not progressed since May, I am assuming that the market could be somewhat saturated and they have failed to get a deposit on enough homes to start.

Keldrums application for the large estate at Tinakilly has also hit a roadblock. According to the application they had up until last week to respond to a request for further information and I'm not see any further information so it will be assumed to be withdrawn.

It's emerged that Glenview properties, the housebuilder that recently went public , has purchased land consisting of 2 sites of 40 acres and 14 acres along the Rocky Road and opposite Burkeen , so more 3 bed semi ds in the pipeline.

The Keldrums properties application must be distinct from the link for the approved development I put up?

So the Oaks (Burkeen Hall) is on phase two now? how many houses have they got built? it was about four large ones last time I was there.

Do you have a link to anything showing the land that was bought? I know a new road is part of the plan for linking Rocky Road with the developent area where Kirvan Hill is.

Has there been an application put in yet?

I'm told there are circa 35-40 on a waiting list for a property in Sessile Oaks and that all the first phase are held by holding deposits. Developers haven't done a thing with it in 8 months even though they must have a lot of cash from prospective buyers at this stage

Thanks for your post.
Is that legal, to just take money from people and not start to build?
Any idea on the 3 bed prices?
I’m looking in Wicklow, 300 max for a 3 bed, is that too little now do you reckon?

Larsso30 · 10-01-2018 12:33pm

anyone know what the huge development is at the back of Broomhall Business Park, down by hazelbrook i believe area where there is a few house is called?

Hi,
I don't know to be honest. I know Rathnew had some for 275k for 3 beds, but I'd say you are a little low at this stage. If They start building in Sessile Oaks and release a next phase, then I'd imagine the prices will go the same direction as they are everywhere else

Larsso30 · 12-01-2018 4:47pm

last of houses in Kirvin advertised at 290k today on Catherine Oreilly website

Thanks Dbas, I'm hopeful we can get something around 300, I hate this insanity. i know property owners/investors love it but I'm on the opposite side of the fence.

So are we. Prices have shot up in the last year. This time last year a 4 bed in the meadows in wicklow town was 315k and they are great houses. Probably be 375k at least in the next phase. They just applied for planning permission for another 75 houses I think. We are approved for the help to buy scheme and just waiting for a decent opportunity around 310-315k

Incredible really.

I wouldn't pay money to live in what is probably the worst corner of the town.

"Hillview" next door is dire.

You have to go out of your way to come to the conclusion that hillview is dire.

Well, there's the domestic waste thrown everywhere, the broken glass. that about 1/4 of the units are boarded up.
Then there's the smashed up bus shelter out on the road.

It all paints a picture.

Then of course there is this travesty from that wonderful "community" who shan't be named.

You obviously have never spent a minute in the estate.

Take a gander and come back to me with your "out of your way" ****e.

Any reader thinking of putting their life's savings into a house next door to this... don't

Why is that estate considered dire. I wouldn't know the town myself and it has always appeared OK any time I saw it

Sorry, this reply didn't show up on my phone this morning.
That article let's on that others drove into the estate and tried dumping the horse into fields behind it. There's easily 30 horses in the fields behind the estate. Your can see them on wicklow cam.

I had found that article about the horse before but no other articles showing any trouble at all. That's pretty rare for a 'sh1t hole 'estate

Would have to agree with Bojack Horseman, I lived in Wicklow Town for 20+ years and that area is really rough. Not only have you got Hillview, but you've got Mountain View and Ocean View nearby too. Lots of anti-social behaviour too close for comfort.

It took you eight years to post that?

I see a new estate is going in opposite Burkeen, Seascape. 3/4 bed houses.

Haven't been over that way in a while, is that the houses that are built very far away from the road beside the friary? Or is it an estate accessed off the roundabout beside the oaks?

I see that the daft ad for Sesille Oaks has been last "updated" today.

In between both. Next site down from the Oaks heading for the friary. Boards went up couple of days ago.

It's between Burkeen and the Friary, much closer to the Friary entrance than the roundabout.

Hi, I have a quick query.

If you turn off Marlton Road onto Marlton Demense, drive up past Marlton Springs to Marlton Hall, will you eventually be able to access the Hawkstown Road when it’s finished?

I can’t find plans anywhere. Thanks
