Location
Kilcock is a service centre for the north Kildare/south Meath area and is a relatively compact town with a medieval street pattern. It is situated 33km from Dublin adjacent to the M4 motorway. The nearby university town of Maynooth is approximately 4km to the east. Given the excellent road and rail connections to Kilcock, it is likely the town will continue to grow and develop as a thriving suburb.

Many large employers have established their base in Kildare with Intel Ireland at Leixlip and the Kerry Group in Naas. These companies are now major contributors to the performance of the local and Irish economy.

The lands are very well positioned to the west of the town centre with all amenities at its doorstep including the train station.

Interested parties are required to satisfy themselves in relation to the availability and adequacy of services.

Zoning
