Home of the Year (Ireland)

Tom is a Professor of Zoology and June has recently completed her masters in spiritualism. The couple live in their extended cottage in Tipperary.

This week the judges travel to the south west coast to visit three very different homes. From a renovated bungalow bursting with colour to an energy efficient split level home that has been cut into the landscape and finally they see a fantastic family home in the form of a renovated farm house.

This week the judges see three homes based in Dublin. From a red brick terraced to an architecturally designed muse home, with a burst of colour in between, the judges must decide which home will go through to the final.

Ger a musician in the band The Carnival Brothers and hairstylist lives with his wife Susann and their 2 kids, Jude and Bowie, in Kildare.

Feile Butler and Colin Ritchie live in a cob-and-timber-frame home in Skreen Co. Sligo. After taking a mud building course in 2005 Feile and Colin set about designing and building their own cob and timber frame home.

John and Francesca Ryan live in a 1930s terraced house with a modern renovation in South County Dublin.

This week the judges see two Dublin based homes and one in Country Monaghan. From a city mews, to a self-build log cabin and a renovated Victorian home to choose from, the judges have their work cut out for them in the final heat of Home of the Year.

Having selected the top seven homes in the competition, the judges must now select the overall wining home. The homeowners meet the judges for the first time in Carton House where the judges will deliberate and ultimately crown the winner of Home of the Year.
