Following the purchase of a three-storey Georgian house with a lower ground floor in south Dublin, the story will explore the highs, lows and occasional surprises of renovating a period property.

With conservation a key element in the renovation of Tranquility House, Dermot and his team will ensure as many of the original features of the house are saved and restored.
