Snap up one of these new A-rated homes minutes from Kilkenny city
Rath Ullord offers an ideal blend of city and country living from €459k.
THERE A LOADS of financial benefits to buying a brand new home these days. For one you’re guaranteed an A-rated build, which means your bills will be inevitably lower. And if you’re a first-time buyer, most new developments work with the Help To Buy scheme, meaning you could get up to €30,000 off the purchase price – provided the house stays under the €500,000 mark.
If this sounds good to you, then take a look at Rath Ullord, a new development just outside Kilkenny city that’s made up of houses that start from €459,000.
Made up of detached and semi-detached houses, each one has a bright and airy layout with some offering up to five bedrooms.
The open plan kitchen, sitting room and dining area ensures natural light pours in. Keeping things local, the kitchens are designed by Sinnott Kitchens of Kilkenny. The ground floor also comprises a spacious utility room, a guest toilet and a separate sitting room.
Chic and minimalist, these homes provide a workable canvas for any new homeowner. A number of features contribute to the high energy rating – including the large, double glazed windows and the air to water heat pump which provides hot water 24/7.
There’s plenty of parking to the front of these homes along with some planted areas for anyone who enjoy a spot of gardening.
In terms of location, Rath Ullord could suit anyone with a young family who is hybrid working. Kilkenny city centre is under a ten minute drive away take minutes while a train to Dublin takes under two hours – doable if you only need to make the trip once or twice a week.
If you and your family can’t make your mind up when it comes to urban or rural living, a new home at Rath Ullord might offer a blend of both that’ll keep everyone happy.
Prices for homes at Rath Ullord, New Orchard, Kilkenny, Co Kilkenny start from €459,000 and are on sale through Warren McCreary.
