Niki and Davin have purchased a monster of a bungalow that is cold, dark and warren-like, having been extended carelessly multiple times over the decades by the previous owners. Davin and Niki love the minimalist aesthetic and want a bright, open plan home that is light, airy and with good air quality.

Young Dublin couple Bobby and Ciara have bought their derelict bungalow just off Lake Drive Road on the shores of the Poulaphouca reservoir in late 2019.

Jonny, Claire and their two children are a family of Irish dancers from County Leitrim. Jonny and Claire met in the 90s as dancers in the original Riverdance line up, and after many years dancing for their living, the young family moved back to County Leitrim in 2013 to set up an Irish dancing school. The McMorrow family share their home with the dance school.
