Kilkenny County Council is proud to announce the official launch of 22 new affordable homes at the Abbey Hill development in Thomastown. These high-quality 2- and 3-bedroom houses are now available to eligible First-Time Buyers and those qualifying under the “Fresh Start” principle, through the Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme.
Strategically located on Ladywell Street, Abbey Hill offers residents a vibrant community setting within walking distance of Thomastown town centre. The homes were built by Kilkenny-based Ormonde Construction, reflecting the Council’s commitment to supporting local suppliers and labour while delivering energy-efficient, modern housing solutions.
Applications for the scheme are now open via the Kilkenny County Council online portal: https://kilkennycoco.ie/abbeyhill . The Affordable Purchase Team will oversee the application process, including eligibility assessments. Full details, including property specifications and qualifying criteria, are available on the Kilkenny County Council website.
“The launch of these affordable homes at Abbey Hill marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to meet local housing needs,” said Ian Gardner, A/Director of Housing & Community at Kilkenny County Council. “By collaborating with Ormonde Construction and Boyd’s Auctioneers, we are creating real opportunities for individuals and families to achieve homeownership in a thriving community.”
Boyd’s Auctioneers will manage property-specific inquiries and coordinate viewings for eligible applicants. All applications and eligibility checks will continue to be handled directly by the Kilkenny County Council Affordable Purchase Team.
