Ethna Dorman's ‘peaceful sanctuary’ wins RTÉ’s Home of the Year

As she set out to restore a 19th-century carriage house, Ethna Dorman wanted the style of her dwelling to reflect the journey of her life. That voyage has now brought her to a winning destination as Ethna took home the sought-after Home of the Year title on grand finale of RTE's 2020 series tonight.

When Ethna’s husband, William, passed away she converted the residence, which also includes a hayloft and is set in a courtyard in County Dublin, into her own retirement sanctuary.
