New builds - North Wicklow (Rockfield/Newcastle etc)

giddygolf

Hi Folks,

I know there are a couple of old threads on here about Rockfield in Newtownmountkennedy etc - but thought I would start a fresh one. Hope I am posting in the correct part of the forum - not too familiar with online forums.

Just wondering if anyone has bought any new builds in North Wicklow recently or had any info on them.

I am specifically looking at Rockfield in Newtownmountkennedy - and wondering the length of time for completion. I know the current buyers in phases 1 and 2 were delayed hugely - but the site being closed for a period of time during Covid lockdowns apparently didnt help, on top of ESB and Irish Water delays. Does anyone know if phase 3 is sold - or when phase 4 will be launched? What does the house include. How expensive is flooring and carpets etc? A complete novice here.

Newcastle have a new development going up I see, next to The Castle Inn also. No idea on prices or completion dates. Does anyone have any info on them such as pricing and what the houses come with? I see the ad on Daft but dont see any further spec.

Any info is much appreciated - thanks in advance!

Moved to a forum that's related to the topic instead.

I got an email about Rockfield a few weeks ago:

I've just bought in Wicklow Town, not sure if that's too far away for you? It's the new Burkeen Dales development, building work has just started. They're saying it'll be ready hopefully between March - Summer 23.

Thanks @Viva La Gloria - gosh - "Future Phases - All units have now been released, as such there will be no further Phase’s" - that sounds unusual. There was supposed to be houses 70-80 I believe, perhaps they have decided not to proceed with building these? They also recently got planning permission for the other half of the field for a further 59 units or something... perhaps they are either holding off on building for a while until the market cools down, or else, perhaps the demand is all too much for the buiding company and the estate agents - both I believe are small local businesses. I wonder!

Yeah it's strange alright, I wonder could you contact the developer directly? The email I got came from Fenlon Properties who is just handing it from the EA side I guess!

I got the same reply about Rockfield, wondering if you got any more information?

I was looking at Newcastle new builds too, but felt the area was too quiet.

Looking at Ashford now. But we're currently living in Greystones and would prefer to stay closer. Really hopping for some new developments to pop up.
