Roscommon family to feature on tonight's episode of ‘Home of the Year’

A couple from Roscommon will feature on the hit RTÉ programme ‘Home of the Year’ which airs tonight, Tuesday April 14th at 7 p.m..

Sarah and Gerard live in a beautiful home in Co Roscommon with their three young children Sylvie, Willow and Oscar.

The family built the home on the site of Gerard’s granduncle and grandaunt’s homestead, of which he has many fond childhood memories. The couple wanted to create a bright, modern and functional home.

Initially, as the family was living in the Middle East, they intended the house to act as a base during visits home; however, they decided to move back to Ireland towards the end of the build and added an extension three years later.

Sarah loves the fact that the house works well for them as a family, but at the same time feels quietly luxurious and is a lovely space to be in.

Each week on the programme judges visit three homes and score them out of 10 based on individuality, functionality, and clever design. The home with the highest combined score in each episode will advance to the grand final in April, where one lucky homeowner will be crowned the winner of the series.
