This year’s lineup in 'The Great House Revival' with Hugh Wallace reflects social media’s fascination with restoration; the cast are younger and their planned finishes are all the more contemporary and hashtag-happy.

It’s back with a whole new generation of budding restorers and ruinous wrecks.

Passage West, County Cork, is the destination for this episode: Tech professional Rob Hennessey fell in love with his bargain-price Victorian house on the banks of the Lee the moment he saw it. 

But with only the slimmest of budgets to patch up its holey floors and rotten joists, he has to upskill fast and take on the majority of the restoration with his own two hands. 

Over the course of two years, he meets new partner Katie and completes the project as an astonishingly high-spec family home for them and new arrival, baby Caoimhe.
