A HOME THAT’S full of light, spacious and in a beautiful setting could tick a lot of boxes for anyone who’s looking to relocate to the countryside. If this sounds like you, then check out Frenchbrook. This large home in rural Mayo was built in 2001 and is ready to walk into
Offers by Daft are now live on this property, meaning you can place and track offers in real time, from anywhere. This new online platforms creates a fair and transparent process so that buyers can make decisions with confidence.
Brought to the market at a private treaty sale by Property Partners Emma Gill, this 256 m² home is spacious inside as well as out. With plenty of parking and a detached, two-bay garage, it has all the makings of an ideal family home with space for the kids and pets to roam outside, too.
The entrance hall links to all of the main social rooms; the sitting room, dining room, and open plan kitchen along with the conservatory. A spacious utility sits off the kitchen. The hall divides the two wings of the house ensuring the bedrooms sit well away from the social spaces.
The kitchen is sure to be the hub of this home. Complete with a casual dining space and plenty of storage, it’s a bright space with great flow to the large conservatory.
The conservatory has bespoke floor tiling and a timber panelled ceiling for added interest. At the other side of the kitchen is a dream utility space that’s sure to keep room uncluttered and more chores more streamlined.
Tastefully decorated in a neutral palette the home mixes whites finishes with wood elements for a fresh feeling that’s easy to work with.
It may be surprising that this 256 m² only has three bedrooms. But this doesn’t mean less space. Two of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, leaving the larger family bathroom to the third bedroom.
Just a ten minute drive from the town of Ballinrobe, Frenchbrook offers country living without being completely rural. Galway city is about forty minutes away also, so it would suit someone who might not need to be in an office that often.
The house is close to the county’s Lake District, so great scenery is guaranteed along with a sense of community.
If you have your heart set on the west, your search may end here.
Frenchbrook, Kilmaine, Co Mayo is on the market for €335,000 through Property Partners Emma Gill.

back from the summer holidays in autumn. you get the impression the country would work just as well without them.
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: He was too busy virtue signalling his support for the Muslim Brotherhood.
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: Nonsense. He was voicing his support for the release of a political prisoner whose rights had been violated by a military dictatorship.
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: An activist arrested in the context of a violent riot in support of a fascist organisation, I presume you mean
@Deano Cracow: wrongfully arrested and imprisoned as it turns out.
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: The fascism on display during that time came from the Sisi regime who murdered over 800 civilians on a solitary day. Whatever the faults of Morsi’s democratically elected government and there were plenty, nothing they did ever compared to that in its depravity.
Believe what you like, it won’t change the fact that Ibrahim is coming home.
Knowing how angry that makes you and several others provides me with a lot of satisfaction.
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: How was he wrongfully arrested ? He wasn’t picked up at the hotel swimming pool .
@Dáithí Ó Raghallaigh: Sorry , that was meant for @David .
Monty comes back when the Dáil does, interesting.
Someone needs to point out to Martin his party FF are supporting the government which is incapable of addressing the homeless crises. Not back a day and all we are hearing is meanless waffle…..
@Kerry Blake: Sssshhh ! You’re exposing the illusion of an opposition party .
Good cop bad cop politics in action , the population are the suspects they’re working over .
@Kerry Blake: Exactly. If there is a GE, then FF are going to get caught out. The differences that would make them a viable alternative simply doesn’t exist.
FFS Leo!
Build more friken social housing and stop blaming, landlords, developers, vulture funds and anyone with an empty house.
Spend less time campaigning for members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
@Cram Wood: Well said but you forgot the OAPs that they tried to blame a couple of weeks ago.
It’s Ok,everything is fine, Leo “acknowledges”.
@Arnold Lane: i agree everything is fine and it’s good to see him back ,on the down side we will have to listen and watch those grandstanding lefties ,on all the news bulletins with their “shame on you” moan
Homeless people are a “stain” on our society reveals his true feelings. How humane of Leo to say so.
@siobhan pat mulcahy: except that wasn’t what he actually said.
A stain on FG more like
@Hurt Stoogie: translated from political jargon it is what he says
Salary ‘top ups’ totalling €2.2 Million for TD’s and Senators – welcome back after your break…..
Well for some.
It’s all “Mea Culpa’s “from the Taoiseach,all humble and dripping sincerity,as he ignores all and sundry except his core voters.
He’s good at it though ,a sterling performance in our National Theatre with superb supporting roles from”Howlin “and the other jobbing cast,
No, it’s a stain on your profession
Another stain to add to the list of things to be taken to the cleaners .
(1)Tax payers .
(2)The sick .
(3)The elderly .
(4)The homeless .
Why is a data centre any more strategic than anything else? It’s not as if the country will grind to a halt without it.
Rather than making exceptions for a company that has Leo’s ear perhaps looking at why the planning process is so slow would be better.
Got the headline wrong. It should read:
As it happened: As homeless people return, Taoiseach says dail’s ‘a stain on our society’
Wont be long till the mid term break, next week is it?- then a weak and half and its Christmas already!
Hypocrisy. Simple as that.
Christmas has started early in Leinster house
Haha. Martin blaming FG for the housing crisis. These farsical performances in the dail are just for the media, just for show, just to fool the public into voting for them in the next election.
Homelessness is a stain on successive governments, the banks, the legal system and regulatory policy.
Glad you enjoyed your break Leo swanning around USA and Canada with your boyfriend on an extended holiday while the homeless and housing crisis gets worse and worse, cut from the same cloth as Kenny and the rest of the parasites before him.
The Dail holidays are also a stain on our society as well, the amount of time they get off is crazy…
As homelessness rises and the impacts more and more visible , FG supposedly rises in the Polls.
Homelessness a stain on our society. Didnt know he or any of FG ministers cared. I prefer if he said its a stain on our political system which has failed our society.
FF Destroyed our country
FG Destroyed our society
@JJ Sharkey: Don’t forget those other parasites Labour………
@JJ Sharkey: True
Dáil reform urgently needed. The Summer break should be for August only. Coming back in late September is a joke.
The dail is a stain on our society with a complete indifference to actually providing services and caring for our society.
What colour socks did he have on
Charletan.
have your say
