If you're the type of person who needs to be near the city but prefers a bit of peace and quiet in the evenings, this Galway home is right up your street. 

It's nestled on a country lane within walking distance of Lough Corrib and Menlo Castle, but is just a few minutes' drive away from the city centre. 

Plus the inside is absolutely stunning - check out these pics! 

We're loving the stairs/shelves combo...

And there's a music room!

The house is on the market for a pricey €975k, so our dreams of practising drums all day are going to have to wait. 

Some people have all the luck.
