Hugh Wallace seeking restorers in Louth for next series of The Great House Revival

Produced by Animo TV, the fifth series of The Great House Revival is currently looking for homeowners to feature, and presenter Hugh Wallace is calling on restorers in Louth to get involved. In particular they are looking for homeowners who have planning permission (if needed) and who are going on site to start their builds before Christmas.

Now more than ever, architect and television presenter, Hugh Wallace wants to meet people who are getting creative with their housing solutions – be it a one room cottage, an abandoned hay shed or something in between, he wants to hear from you.

Dunleer couple, Kelly Gaffney and her husband Paddy Connor, featured in The Great House Revival in April 2022 when they converted an 1830's mill into a home. The mill was missing every one of its 43 windows and most of its roof and floors, but they saw past that and thought of its potential, renovating it to a liveable home.

Looking to series five, as it is filmed over one year, the home would need to be mostly complete by September 2024 to be included in the show. Hugh and his team will follow the progress of restoration projects across the country, as owners reclaim beautiful buildings from the past to transform them into spaces for modern-day living.
 
 Hugh Wallace said: “I can’t wait to travel the length and breadth of Ireland once again to follow more brave restorers as they embark on their restoration journey. We’re looking for wonderful projects from Louth to showcase as many fabulous properties across the nation as possible”.
 
Maya Derrington, series producer and director of The Great House Revival said: “All over Ireland there are properties in need of serious repair and love, and The Great House Revival champions the bravery of those willing to take them on.

"Suitable projects include any old buildings that are about to undergo a restoration to be transformed into a home: church conversions, Garda stations, farmhouses, or Georgian townhouses and smaller city terraced homes. No restoration is too small.”
