Description
We live in the countryside near Stradbally, Co. Laois and need some help tidying up our house and garden, there's a studio apartment for you to live in close to the house. We live on an acre so not a huge area. We have two boys age 11 and 13, they don't need looking after as they are in boarding school and there's little dog and possibly another one as are looking for one.
We work from home and are involved in the arts.
I go up to Dublin once a week for one night so you can get a bit of town life too.
