4 of a kind: Countryside homes with heaps of space outside

From a seven-bed mansion in Clare to a West Cork home on 2.5 acres.

WHILE CITY LIFE has its benefits (never being far from a coffee shop being one of them), it’s near impossible to deny the appeal of living in the countryside.

Today, we’re looking at a selection of homes that boast calming views, large gardens and beautiful furnishings inside, too.

From Clare to Cork, read on to see a selection of properties that match this description on the market right now…

Ennis, Co Clare

Located just 4km from Ennis, Moinear is a five-bed detached property with beautiful finishes. Extending to 3200 sq ft, the residence is designed to maximise the use of natural light and views of the beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. Features throughout the property include a mahogany stairs, ]marble fireplaces, solid oak floors and built-in units.

Outside, there’s a spacious patio area, double garage, stable and cattle pen. Barefield village is less than a five-minute drive away (or a 25 minute walk), while Ennis is a 10-minute drive away. The nearby M18 provides ease of access to Shannon, Limerick and beyond.

Make it yours for €550,000.
