An exclusive new residential development, Bishop's Lough, located in Kilkenny City, has launched phase two of a 230-home community.

Located on the Tullaroan/Bonnettstown Road in St Canice’s Parish, Bishop’s Lough offers both city living and a country lifestyle.

Wisteria Developments is hosting an open day for home seekers on Saturday, March 23, from 10am.

One of the only low-density (spacious living) projects in Kilkenny, the modern A2 BER-rated homes range from three and four-bed detached properties, three-bed semi-ds to three and two-bed mid/end terrace homes.

Residents can walk to the city centre in 10 minutes, yet enjoy the countryside at Bishop’s Lough with stunning scenery, walking and cycling tracks throughout the 10 acres of parkland and a special conservation area.

Commenting after the launch of the next phase of the development was developer Matthew Wallace, Managing Director of fourth-generation construction company Wallace Contracting and Wisteria Developments.

"Bishop’s Lough is a stunning new residential community in Kilkenny where convenience meets thoughtful planning," he said.

"The proximity to schools like St Canice's Primary, the new CBS and Loreto Secondary School makes it a highly desirable neighbourhood.

"Credit is due to Kilkenny County Council for its forward planning focused on creating community and connectivity. Every amenity is within reach.

"It's a well-planned low-density development, an accessible community that reflects careful consideration for the needs of its residents."

According to Wallace, the homes are 'designed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a robust, comfortable, and visually appealing living space'.

"They are solid-built homes using a concrete structure that not only stand the test of time but also contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the homes," he added.

The estate, managed locally by Donohoe Town and Country and Savills of Dublin, sold all 40 homes from phase one, which launched in January 2023.

Buyers wishing to register their interest in phase two of Bishop’s Lough, can do so at bishopslough.ie or attend the showhouse open from 10 am to 12pm by appointment, with public viewings from 12pm onwards on Saturday, March 23rd, 2024.

Bishop’s Lough is 'Help to Buy' approved.
