Refined country living in Oakwood - showhouse open
The team at Smith Property in Cavan are excited ahead of the launch of five A-rated luxury homes on the edge of Cavan Town. Oakwood, Swellan, is an exclusive enclave of five detached homes in the highly regarded Swellan Lower area.
With prices starting from €550,000, these homes offer a rare opportunity to secure a high-specification residence in one of Cavan’s most desirable residential settings. The vendors assure: “Oakwood offers a rare blend of architectural quality, lifestyle convenience, and timeless design.”
Auctioneer Raymond Smith told the Celt that the show house will open to the public next Saturday, May 17.
“These homes represent a new standard of refined country living — combining sustainable building techniques with elegant interiors and a highly desirable location at the gateway to some of Cavan’s most treasured natural and recreational amenities,” he said.
Built by the trusted McCabe Group, the properties extend to an impressive 182.8 sq m (1,967 sq ft) over two floors. “Each home is designed with comfort and flexibility in mind,” said the auctioneer.
Downstairs, features include a spacious entrance hallway; superior lounge, anchored by a striking feature firewall; a light-filled kitchen and dining area, enhanced by overhead skylights and sliding doors that open onto a generous, private patio; a dedicated home offers; and a well-equipped utility room.
The kitchens were crafted by McCaul Kitchens, blending contemporary aesthetics with function — featuring quality cabinetry, integrated appliances, and an expansive layout ideal for modern family life.
Upstairs, the accommodation includes four spacious double bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a private dressing area and large en-suite bathroom.
A-rated
Designed with both performance and sustainability in mind, these homes achieve an A-rated Building Energy Rating (BER) — making them eligible for various green mortgage schemes. “With a state-of-the-art, air to water heating system, high-grade insulation, airtight construction, and a dedicated EV charging point, Oakwood delivers future-proofed, energy-efficient living in a beautifully crafted package,” outlined Mr Smith.
Finishes
From the mix of oak and tile flooring underfoot to the soft neutral palette and curated textures, every detail in Oakwood has been considered under the creative direction of interior designer Anita Reilly.
“Combined with the architectural vision of Michael Fitzpatrick Architects and the structural expertise of Alan Traynor Consulting Engineers, these homes are turnkey in the truest sense — move-in ready, thoughtfully finished, and future-focused in both form and function,” praised the auctioneer.
Oakwood’s location is a key part of its appeal. Nestled in the mature and peaceful Swellan Lower area, it offers the perfect balance of town accessibility and countryside tranquillity. Residents are only minutes from the vibrant centre of Cavan Town, with its excellent schools, retail outlets, cafés, and healthcare facilities — including Cavan General Hospital.
Outdoor and lifestyle enthusiasts will relish being close to Killykeen Forest Park, with its walking trails and picnic spots, and the Lough Oughter lake district offering kayaking, angling, and breathtaking scenery. For leisure and relaxation, the award-winning Farnham Estate Golf & Spa Resort is just a short drive away, providing premium golf, spa, and dining experiences.
