Buying your new home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever have to make, and you need to be sure that it is the right one for your family’s needs. There are many things to consider and many things to look out for in a new development to make sure it is perfect for you, and will become more than just a house, but a home for life.
Here are some of the things you need to look out for.
Space to grow
If you have children or are planning to start or grow your family, you will need to know you’re your home can accommodate each family member comfortably, and that there is room for further additions.
Whether you choose the three-bed Portland or the four-bed Wyndham and Bellevue house, each of the homes at SeaGreen in Greystones offer plenty of space for your growing family. A generous living room area will give you all the space you need to relax and spend time together, while the large hall leads into a spacious kitchen and dining room with its own separate utility room.
For convenience, each home also features a boot room at the entrance, so you can avoid muddy little feet running through the house.
Importantly for a growing family, there is also a downstairs WC, as well as the main bathroom and an en-suite in the master bedroom, so you won’t need to worry about queueing to get into the shower, no matter how many children you have.
The large bedrooms offer both comfort and space for every member of the family to make their own.
These large living spaces are made possible by the immaculately designed interiors that enhance the space of all the rooms.
Energy efficiency
Buying a new home is a major investment, and the last thing you want when you move into it is the prospect of high energy and utility bills, so energy efficiency is very important. At SeaGreen Greystones, all of the homes have an A2 BER Rating, so you can know the heating costs of your home will be kept to a minimum.
The state of the art heating system includes thermostatically controlled radiators heated by a high-efficiency A-rated natural gas boiler, while hot water is provided by a high-efficiency heat pump that uses waste air from bathrooms to produce continuous hot water: no waiting for the water to get hot enough for a bath or to wash the dishes.
The solar panels provide free electricity to heat water and keep your bills low, while top-quality insulation is provided by the triple-glazed windows and high-spec spray foam that keeps the house warm and comfortable all year round.
You can see why SeaGreen Greystones is so energy-efficient in this video featuring Bill Quigley of NuTech Renewables who specialise in low-energy housing and have worked with Wood Group to develop these heating and insulation systems.
Warranty
While all of the houses at SeaGreen are obviously built to the highest standards, using the best materials, you will want to make sure that your home is both secure and comfortable. One benefit of a new build home is that it is far less likely to have any snags or problems that need to be fixed, but having a warranty is important for peace of mind.
Every home at SeaGreen comes with 10-Year Homebond Latent Defects Insurance, giving comprehensive cover for defects insurance, structural insurance and loss of deposit, as well as 5-Year Homebond cover for mechanical and electrical, water and smoke ingress.
Personalisation
While all of the homes available at SeaGreen Greystones are built and designed to the highest quality, we know that each person is an individual with their own specific tastes and preferences, which is why we employ an expert and friendly team on-site to take care of any redesign, changes or adaptations you want to make.
Dealing directly with home buyers means that any problems, changes or specifications can be met with ease, and can be quickly taken care of.
See what account manager Sandra has to say about how the needs of every home buyer are met.
Wood Group also enjoy a great relationship with their contractors and encourage new home buyers to have the same, which is why they allow clients to deal directly with the builders, electricians, and carpenters to ensure each person can enjoy the home they want, making those changes that turn a house into a home, without any questions.

Space in which your family can grow in comfort, the guarantee that your new home is expertly built and designed to last, energy efficiency to keep costs down, and a great relationship with the construction team to ensure your needs are met – all of these things you need to look out for when buying your new home are met at SeaGreen Greystones.
With a special release of some of our most exclusive homes taking place this weekend, make sure to register your interest now.
With a special release of SeaGreen’s luxurious and spacious family homes in Greystones set to take place this weekend, we take a look at some of the great reasons to register your interest in purchasing one of the three- or four-bed houses in this great community, developed by Wood Group.
1 – A Perfect Location
Perfectly situated between Wicklow, ‘the garden of Ireland’ and the bustling city of Dublin, SeaGreen in Greystones is an ideal location to set up home and raise a family. The commute to Dublin is quick and easy, serviced by great roads, the Dart line, Rosslare to Dublin rail line and Dublin Bus, so you can be in the city within the hour, while the peace and relaxation of the countryside and Dublin/Wicklow Mountains is just a few steps away. The Aircoach also serves Greystones, providing a quick and convenient way to get to Dublin Airport in one hour.
Many of the houses in the SeaGreen development have sea views, a big plus as far as one happy customer, Gill, was eager to explain.
The Blue Flag beach is just a stone’s throw away, with scenic walks and of course, the call of the sea, right beside you.
2 – Ideal Family Homes
Whether you have children or are planning to start a family, the elegant and spacious homes at SeaGreen are built to accommodate your growing living space needs. While the great outdoors is all around you in this development, the homes also have a generous private rear garden for the little ones to safely play in, and patios for you to relax on, while there are seven separate open space areas within the 180-home community.
The three- and four-bed semi-detached and detached homes are large and comfortable, with plenty of room for your family to enjoy, and grow in, for many years.
The three-bed semi-detached Portland homes, four-bed detached Bellevue and four-bed semi-detached Wyndham homes each have a fully-fitted kitchen, utility room and high-spec interiors, as well as side gates as standard, among many more great features that make this development more than just houses, but real homes.
3 – Nearby Schools
If you have children or are planning to start a family, it is also good to know that there are high-quality schools nearby, and SeaGreen is located within 500 metres of three excellent educational facilities – Greystones Educate Together National School, Temple Carrig Secondary School and Gaelscoil na gCloch Liath – that can cater for whatever educational needs suit your family best. Five other national schools and another secondary school are also located within easy walking distance of the development.
4 – A Great Lifestyle
The lifestyle enjoyed by the SeaGreen community is second to none. The proximity of the sea is obviously a big draw here, with individual and group water activities playing a large role in community activities. Swimming, sailing and other water sports are supported by great local clubs, while there are also sports clubs dedicated to GAA, soccer, golf, rowing, cricket, hockey, tennis, rugby and yoga, to name but a few. The nearby sports facilities that include all-weather pitches, a skate park and leisure parks, also form a central hub for an active community.
The Greystones area is a natural playground for adults and children alike, with many family-oriented pursuits available close to home. Whether you and your family are into walking, cycling or horse riding, you can enjoy them all within easy distance of home.
If relaxation and luxury are more your thing, the vibrant and welcoming town of Greystones means you can enjoy great food and drink at a range of establishments, while shoppers will be delighted with the choice of top-quality stores and boutiques so close to home.
5 – Energy and cost-efficient
The cost of buying a new home is not cheap, so we are obviously very aware of the fact that the last thing you need is to then have to face large bills for heating and light. At SeaGreen, our homes are extremely energy efficient, meaning your utility bills will be dramatically lower than expected.
As explained by Bill Quigley, an engineer and director of Nutech Renewables, who specialise in the design and implementation of low energy and CO2 emission housing, the houses at SeaGreen are extremely energy efficient and cost-effective. He has worked with Wood Group for many years to develop a low-energy house system.
These features and the solar-enhanced heating systems reduce energy demand dramatically, with the fully-integrated system meaning the home is warm and comfortable throughout the year and is very economical, as well as good for the environment. See what Bill has to say about the homes at SeaGreen here.
Combining this efficiency with luxury and style, the highly insulated, triple-glazed windows (that open out to become a balcony, giving that penthouse feel to a family home), are just one of the great features in these houses, as Ken the carpenter shows here:
