Kearney’s Drive Tullamore, is a general-needs, family housing scheme of 41 homes. It is a quality development of new build, A-rated homes, which knits very well into the existing community. Of the 41 homes, there are 4 1-bed single storey houses, 13 2-bed houses, (8 of those single storey 2-beds), 22 3-bed houses and 2 4-bed houses. This has created a sustainable community and ideal tenure mix, a balance of single people, couples, elderly and different family sizes in the 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.
There is a landscaped play area, ideal for children, with a designated play zone for smaller children and a running track. It is a safe, attractive and much used open space. Many of the houses looking directly onto it, have sheltered inbuilt seating at the front entrance door, encouraging neighbourly interaction and facilitating passive surveillance of children at play.
