The fact that the development lies in a valley was a challenge for Meitheal Architects in terms of topography so the layout of the scheme was carefully considered with those constraints. The resulting design now gives super vistas across Cork city and its “open spaces have been designed to reflect the organic fabric of the site,” according to brochure.
One of the larger developments in the Cork area in recent years, and indeed Cairn’s first scheme in the county, Bayly is a new development located off the Carrigaline Road in Douglas. The scheme, launching on the weekend of Saturday, June 22nd, will have 193 homes in total and is part of lands that will have 472 units in the Douglas area when complete. It lies close to a new school, and now a selection of 30, three- and four-bedroom homes have come to the market, available through Savills.
Properties in the scheme priced below the €500,000 threshold will be eligible for the Help to Buy scheme and those priced below €475,000 (in the Cork city area) will be eligible for the First Homes scheme. With A2 Ber ratings, houses should also qualify for green mortgages.
Suiting first-time buyers, those looking for larger homes and indeed downsizers from larger properties, its location in the sought-after area of Douglas has an excellent array of amenities such as primary and secondary schools, including the new Douglas Rochestown Educate Together. It also has several parks providing lots of green space for recreation.
