Michelle and Rob McNeil transformed their Belfast property into the residence of their dreams and now it’s in the running for the 2022 Home of the Year title.

When the couple purchased the 1920s building, they undertook a major revamp. “We realised quite quickly that there were a few damp issues so we had to strip the house right back to the shell,” says Michelle.
