4 of a kind: Homes in the countryside with picturesque views

From a three-bed bungalow overlooking Dunmanus Bay to a five-bed in Co Galway.

WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS, relaxing walks and an overall sense of calm, it’s easy to understand the appeal of living in the countryside.

This week we’re looking at four homes in countryside towns and villages around the country – from a three-bed bungalow overlooking Dunmanus Bay to a five-bed in Co Galway.

Kells, Co Meath – €425,000

Located just outside Kells, 11 The Lower Courtyard sits on the historic Headfort Estate. Headfort offers a spectacular place to call home, with seemingly endless acres of country trails and walks on the grounds. The property is located in the south-east corner of the courtyard and features a stylish and elegant interior with three bedrooms, a light-filled sitting room, a kitchen, a dining room and three bathrooms.

The property sits on 0.6 acres and benefits from mature trees and plants, as well as a stream which runs to the coast.

    @In the paper: skeleton staff doesn’t mean some are working from home. There could be several out sick or at home with kids out sick from school.

    I know this is a radical idea but maybe, just maybe we could move this process online and eliminate the need for in person appointments and paper forms?

    @The Guru: its registering the birth of someone. Like that’s Perry official. I think it really need to be done in person no. I can see electronic registering of births becoming wide open to fraud.

    All registrations should be delayed until a DNA test is completed to confirm that the man who is signing it knows if he is the actual father of the child. There are too many cases today of men who are raising other men’s children thinking that they are their own.

    It took me 11 weeks to get a copy of my birth certificate so I could apply for social housing, trying ringing the phone number advertised to be redirected to an automated service saying that they were unable to take phone calls and to send email, I sent 5 emails in total.
