Cluain Glasan – Affordable Homes

Cluain Glasan

Affordable Homes Launch

Kilkenny County Council, in partnership with Glenveagh and the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage, is delighted to launch a Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme at Cluain Glasan, Granges Road, Kilkenny City.

Through the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme, a limited number of 3 bedroom homes will be made available for purchase for successful applicants at a price lower than its market value. In return, Kilkenny County Council will take a percentage equity interest in the home equal to the difference between the open market value of the home and the price paid by you. All homes are energy efficient with a minimum A-rating on the BER scale with high standards of insulation and air tightness.

Where?

Cluain Glasan is located on Granges Road on the western side of the city, just a 5-minute drive to the city centre and in close proximity to St. Luke’s General Hospital. Kilkenny’s MacDonagh Rail Station is just a few kilometres away which is served by regular train links to Dublin and Waterford. 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.
