Clancy Homes, one of Ireland’s leading residential developers are excited to launch a brand-new development at Fox Meadow, Loughmacask – Kilkenny’s most prestigious new homes development. The design of Fox Meadow unlocks and enhances the natural character of the site. The stunning facades, large gardens and beautifully landscaped streetscape combine to create a magnificent air of quality.
Fox Meadow is a prime Kilkenny City development in the highly sought-after St. Canice’s Parish of Kilkenny. This will be the last chance to buy a brand-new home in a low-density development.
The neighbourhoods have been planned around the historic tree lines and hedgerows giving an immediate maturity to the area. The new community will benefit from more than 10 acres of parkland and green spaces, including the unique Loughmacask turlough. The network of green spaces at Fox Meadow will be uniquely linked to the local schools and amenities in St. Canice’s parish by eco-friendly walking loops and cycling loops along landscaped walkways and cycle paths.
Kilkenny, once the medieval capital of Ireland, is one of Ireland’s premier residential destinations. It has a rich heritage running through its streets and laneways with buildings such as Kilkenny Castle and the iconic St. Canice’s Cathedral. Today it’s a compact cosmopolitan city with a booming tourism sector. All this means that locals have an enviable selection of facilities, amenities, pubs, and restaurants normally only found in much bigger cities.
This unrivalled development will boast landscaped amenity space, cycle paths and walkways with exceptionally large gardens due to its lower density scale. This ensures Fox Meadow will remain an exclusive, tranquil, and peaceful development, ideal for family living.
