Kate and Shane Byrne say they are “over the moon” that their 150-year-old farmhouse has been declared 2022 Home of the Year.

Kate and Shane lifted the coveted trophy in the finale of this year’s RTÉ One series, broadcast on Tuesday night, after the judges deemed their Co Wicklow home, with modern extension, to be the winner.
