Kilkenny is known for the cats but you’ll be like the cat that got the cream if you move into the one of the stunning 2 and 3 bed family homes in Cluain Glasan.
This new development of A-rated homes from Glenveagh Homes is located at Ayrfield, just a short stroll from Kilkenny city centre and all of its many services, amenities and attractions.
There is much to draw your attention to Cluain Glasan from affordability to the quality build and finishes. The development qualifies for the First Home and Help to Buy Schemes. The First Home Scheme helps buyers with up to 30% of the market value of their newly built home. This will reduce to 20% if availing of the Help to Buy Scheme.
All homes in Cluain Glasan are also energy efficient with a minimum A-rating on the BER scale with high standards of insulation and air tightness.
The bright, open-plan homes are finished to the highest standard possible so you can rest assured that you’re acquiring a property that is built to last.
Bedrooms and bathrooms are generously sized with a high-level finish to give that luxury feel to your home. Spacious living rooms are painted in neutral colours so that you stamp your personality on it from day one.
Apart from attractive living spaces, one of the real selling points of Cluain Glasan is its location. It is located just west of the River Nore and extremely close to St Luke’s General Hospital. Residents can enjoy being within a stone’s throw from many local amenities in this well-established residential area, with the city centre and Nowlan Park just a five minute drive away. Cluain Glasan is also close to many of Kilkenny’s most famous landmarks, including Kilkenny Castle and its stunning grounds, St Canice’s Cathedral and Round Tower, the Black Abbey and St Mary’s Medieval Mile Museum.
There are also excellent transport links for wherever you want to go. Cluain Glasan is located on Granges Road, close to the city centre and adjacent to St James’s Park and the Kilkenny Greyhound Stadium. Transport links are regular and plentiful; Cluain Glasan is just a few kilometres from Kilkenny Train Station, which links the city with Dublin, Waterford and onwards to Cork, Galway and Limerick. Services to Dublin run between 4 and 7 times a day, making for flexible travel.
For motorists, Kilkenny is well-served by excellent major roads, including the N10 – which connects to the M9 motorways to Dublin – and the N77 – which connects to Portlaoise and the M7 motorway. The N76 is also just a five minute drive while Waterford City is accessible in 40 minutes.
Kilkenny’s central location in Ireland’s South-East region means that every part of Southern Ireland is easily and quickly accessed, ideal for those who like to travel around this beautiful part of the country.
Kilkenny is also full of wonderful leisure amenities for every member of the family – some of the sports clubs well established in the area include GAA, rugby, gymnastics, athletics, soccer and cycling. There’s even an ice hockey team for the really adventurous in the family!
For golfers, Kilkenny Golf Club is an 18-hole championship parkland course close to the north of the city, while the world-famous Mount Juliet course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is located in nearby Thomastown.
As one of the biggest communities in Ireland’s South-East, Kilkenny is also home to just about every big retail name. Market Cross and MacDonagh Junction are the major shopping centres in the city, while Goods Department Store contains everything you could need under one roof. Alternatively, enjoy finding something unusual at one of the many weekly markets, including the famous Castleinch Sunday Market.
As part of an established community, Cluain Glasan is close to many excellent schools, including St Canice’s Co-Ed National School and Loreto Secondary School, both located just minutes from the development. Kilkenny is home to many other options, however, including Gaelscoil Osrai, the second largest Irish-only school in Ireland, and Kilkenny College, one of the oldest schools in the country with a past-pupil list that includes Jonathan Swift.
Kilkenny is also known for being one of Ireland’s biggest centres for culture. Some of the major festivals to take place during the year include Kilkenny Cat Laughs, the Kilkenny Arts Festival and the Kilkenny Roots Festival. But even during a rare break in the busy events calendar, the city is literally buzzing with activity; enjoy live music in one of the many venues in the city centre, or sample one of the vibrant new restaurants – it’s all just a short walk away from your new home.
Prices for a home at Cluain Glasan start from €330,000. To find out more check out the development on MyHome.ie at www.myhome.ie/4705837
