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…
