Home of the Year returns for new series tonight (Feb 14)

Beloved property programme Home of the Year is returning to screens tonight (February 14). 

Award-winning architects Hugh Wallace and Amanda Bone join interior designer Sara Cosgrove to judge houses nationwide for the ninth series of the hit show. 

The trio will explore 21 outstanding homes around Ireland, including counties Cork, Mayo, Kilkenny, Dublin, Down, Wicklow, Meath, Antrim, Galway, Armagh, Derry and Kildare. 

The impending series will champion creativity and showcase clever design and individuality at re-imagined semi-detached homes, renovation projects, architectural homes, restored period homes as well as new builds. 

Homes will be scored a mark out of 10 and the home with the highest combined score in each programme will progress to the final in April 2023. 

Last year, the trophy was lifted by Kate and Shane Byrne for their 150-year-old farmhouse with modern extension in Co Wicklow. 

The new series airs on Tuesdays at 8.30pm on RTÉ One.
