Snap up a modern and energy-efficient five-bed home close to Kilkenny City
Prices for homes at new development, Fox Meadow start from €660,000
ON THE EDGE of one of Ireland’s most charming medieval cities, is your chance to buy a design-led family home in a highly popular location. Fox Meadow, located in the St. Canice’s Parish of Kilkenny, is a development that balances contemporary comfort with a strong sense of place.
Set within a low-density layout, Fox Meadow has a real sense of openness. Wide streets, considered landscaping and generously sized plots create an atmosphere that feels more akin to a private enclave than a typical suburban scheme. Cycle paths weave through the development, while glimpses of nearby water add a tranquil, almost rural dimension to daily life.
These homes are designed to meet near-zero energy building (NZEB) standards and achieve an impressive A2 energy rating. A mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) system ensures a constant supply of fresh, filtered air while retaining warmth, contributing to both comfort and efficiency. High-performance windows and doors further enhance heat retention, while low-maintenance exterior finishes promise longevity without ongoing upkeep.
Practical assurances are also in place: a 10-year structural guarantee, additional mechanical and electrical insurance and a dedicated aftercare service (including a six-month check) offer peace of mind well beyond the point of buying and moving in.
The architecture itself leans into understated elegance with its clean-lined façades, muted materials and thoughtful detailing. These all combine to produce homes that feel both modern and enduring.
At about 269 m², The Rose is the largest of the remaining homes. Designed with growing families in mind, it offers a super sense of proportion. Generous living areas flow easily, while the sizable garden provides a high level of privacy.
The Primrose introduces a slightly more compact footprint, but it’s still impressively 234 m² in size. With lake views to the front and a south-west facing garden to the back, natural light plays a defining role throughout the day. A ground floor study adds flexibility, whether for remote work or quiet retreat, while expansive open plan living areas create a natural hub for family life.
The Lily strikes a careful balance between openness and intimacy. Its central feature is a large, flowing kitchen, dining and living space that anchors the home, making it ideal for busy households. Yet it also has a separate front sitting room, offering a quieter alternative when you need it.
With only a limited number of five-bedroom homes remaining, potential buyers will have to act fast. Homes that blend efficiency, elegance and a strong connection with the combination of location, scale and thoughtful design means these homes will be snapped up.
