      Barnhall Meadows – A chance to live in a ‘Wonderful Place’

      by

      The Wonderful Barn in Leixlip, Co Kildare, provides the perfect backdrop to the stunning Barnhall Meadows development by Glenveagh Homes.
      Situated on the edge of Castletown House estate, formerly belonging to the Conolly family, the corkscrew-shaped building – which was built in 1743 – sits in front of these new architecturally designed, 2 and 3 bed homes which have prices starting from €320,000.

      The Wonderful Barn overlooks Barnhall Meadows in Leixlip, Co Kildare

      As well as providing a protected 4 acre parkland area right beside these fabulous new homes, the enchanting Wonderful Barn also forms part of the scenic 16km Arthur’s Way Heritage Trail which provides a superb walking, running or cycling route for local residents.

      Barnhall Meadows takes its name from The Wonderful Barn and is further evidence of developers’ Glenveagh’s appreciation of the past. They might be a young company but they appreciate their history and even the brochures for this new development have been designed in such a way as to encapsulate the inside of the barn.

      The Wonderful Barn is described as a fairy tale-style building and you can create your own wonderful story in Barnhall Meadows – a development which truly blends the best of town and country. The aforementioned walk and scenery brings peace and tranquility while Leixlip with its wide range of services and amenities – including two railway stations with regular links to the capital and further afield – has all you could ever need on your doorstep.
      Following the hugely successful previous launch in Barnhall Meadows, Glenveagh Homes have now released new 2 and 3 bed semi-detached and detached houses to the market.

      Barnhall Meadows offers the discerning purchaser spacious accommodation, stylish, contemporary kitchens & bathrooms, a maintenance free exterior finish & an ‘A3’ energy rating as standard, thanks to high levels of insulation and state-of-the-art heat pump systems.
      The development also boasts one of the best buyer incentive packages on the market today with all appliances and flooring are included subject to the purchaser signing and returning contracts within 21 days.

For those doing the daily commute to Dublin, the City Centre is under 30 minutes away by car. Dublin Bus also provides a regular service (No 66) as does Irish Rail with Louisa Bridge & Confey train stations close by.

      For families with school-age children, there are quite a few creches, as well as Scoil Mhuire and Leixlip Educate Together primary schools. For older kids, Confey College, Leixlip Community School, and Colaiste Chiarain offer secondary educational opportunities. Additionally, Maynooth University is only 15 minutes away.

      The living room in The Poplar 3 bed end of terrace/semi-detached house

Leixlip Reservoir and the River Liffey allow for canoeing, fishing, and other water sports. Whether you’re walking around the Wonderful Barn, or taking a jaunt down to Leixlip Castle, you’ll have a wide array of historical spots to visit, adding some culture to your weekends.

      RESI Convention 2020 – Day One Round-Up

      by

      “Covid has accelerated us into the future,” said Daniel Hulme, CEO of AI technology provider Satalia during the first day’s RESI keynote address.
      AI is aiding human decision making across the world of work and talent management, he said, helping businesses to become less hierarchical, more transparent and more agile. However, he added that new technology should come with a health warning, as the race to leverage AI may also have unforeseen and alarming, consequences.
      “The battleground is not technology, but talent. Organisations have an incentive to utilise AI, particularly as competitors are doing the same. However, when thinking about these technologies, it’s about thinking holistically – we may not create a sustainable future for our species.”
      Proptech is a more familiar concept and now a firm component in the vocabulary of real estate. There are more than 8,000 proptech businesses, according to James Dearsley, co-founder of proptech procurement platform Unissu, although he noted that funding for the sector had fallen this year due to Covid-19.
      “What we are really seeing is a move to digital transformation,” he said. “This is driving a mentality change within the real estate industry, and among its consumers, regarding technology-driven innovation in data assembly, and the transacting and design of buildings and cities.”
      Case studies shed light on the revolution that is under way. Developer London Square has used proptech platform Yourkeys to help streamline its customer journey, gathering the information needed to process a house sale in around 25 minutes.
      Build-to-Rent operator Fizzy Living has embraced homeviews, which provides verified, in-depth reviews of properties in 11 UK cities, acting as a ‘Trip Adviser of residential developments’.
      And developer Flamingo Investment Group has utilised Landtech’s LandInsight tool, which LandTech said can be used to assess the profitability of a development site, saving the average developer £34,000 a year.
      The growth of non-traditional but now increasingly mainstream residential asset types provided a further insight into the future shape of towns and cities.
      As predicted by many at RESI 2019, later living is seeing a wave of institutional investment, albeit – as with build-to-rent and co-living – one held back by a lack of understanding among planning authorities.
      Osborne Clarke’s John Baird highlighted a recent decision by Elmbridge Borough Council to reject plans for hundreds of new retirement homes in Walton-on-Thames.
      Eugene Marchese, co-founder of retirement community developer and operator Guild Living, which had sought permission for the Elmbridge scheme, said it was vital to explain the role of later living schemes and more broadly for the UK to address the way we plan and provide for old age. “There is a huge misconception about what later living can bring to a town or city,” he said.
      Delegates were polled on how to encourage talent and entrepreneurship in their businesses. A greater focus on ‘diversity and inclusion’ won out with 82% of the vote, comfortably beating ‘research and development’ – an endorsement of recent efforts to make the sector more socially responsible, but perhaps also a sign that it is yet to appreciate the scale of technological change to come.
      As for future generations, RESI continued to offer them a platform. Delegates heard updates from RESI 2019’s trailblazers and the day ended with Cluttons announcing the next cohort of RESI’s rising stars.

      Here are just 10 of the most exciting things to look out for at this year’s event.

      Property Week editor Liz Hamson will speak to Jake Chai, chief of staff from Common, the largest co-living business in the US. They will discuss what good property management looks like in the sector and what the UK can learn from the US market.

      A crucial and timely address from Housing secretary Robert Jenrick will see him speak about the government’s vision for the housing market and the proposed reforms to the planning systems in the long-awaited white paper.

      Long-time chair and BBC News home editor Mark Easton will return to host the RESI Convention 2020. After years at the helm of the conference Mark will deploy his industry knowledge and broadcasting expertise to keep the pace brisk and the content on point for this year’s conference.

      We bring a panel of leading residential CEOs together to talk about the impact of Covid-19 on the residential sector. Don’t miss insight from @BerkeleyGroupUK’s Rob Perrins and @watkin_jones’s Richard Simpson among others.

      Smart technology is here to stay, so how can developers and operators future proof homes? Join the European vice president of Samsung IoT as well as Moda and Utopi to find out.

      The financial impact of the pandemic is only just starting to be felt. Join @Cebr_uk’s @realVickyPryce as she maps the sector’s economic future coming out of Covid – a crucial session for those ready to look ahead.

      Hot on the heels of the recent #RESIDebate, Savills director of residential research Lawrence Bowles will tell delegates all they need to know about future trends in the residential sector in this critical time for the sector.

      Today we announced this year’s cohort of #resitrailblazers, so where could they be in a year’s time? We catch up with our Trailblazer alumni to find out how some of the sector’s brightest talent is getting on.

      Planning for planning – with the government’s white paper on planning reforms out in the open, containing controversial proposals such as scrapping S106 payments and new PDRs, a panel of planning experts will debate what impact the changes could have.
