RTÉ’s beloved Home of the Year returns for its 11th season, celebrating stunning interiors, creative transformations, and heartfelt stories that bring homes to life and there will be a Tipperary couple featuring in the series this time around.
In the heart of Tipperary, Claire and Seán Fox will feature, having lovingly restored a cherished piece of local history - a former 1860s shop - into a warm and inviting home.
Their journey reflects true Tipperary spirit: resourcefulness, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for heritage.
The couple purchased the property in 2020 and, with careful planning, began renovations the following year. Determined to preserve the building’s character, they blended historic charm with modern comfort, all while championing sustainability.
Local ingenuity shines through every detail. With help from Claire’s retired engineer father, they transformed a copper water cylinder into a striking kitchen backsplash and converted an old bunk bed into unique kitchen cabinets.
From repurposed dressers to original shop spindles, the home is a tribute to Tipperary’s tradition of creativity and resilience.
For Claire and Seán, their home is a personal masterpiece - a celebration of Tipperary heritage and the joy of crafting something truly their own.
