Design expert Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen returns to screens this January, leading the search to find Northern Ireland’s next House Of The Year.
In this six-part series 15 homes are competing for one of five places in the grand final where they could be crowned House Of Year.
Laurence is once again joined by a team of expert judges – award-winning architect Jane Larmour, interior designer James Fairley, and interiors business owner Patricia McGinnis – who are tasked with deciding which five homes make the final shortlist.
In episode one the judges must choose between a 1970s bungalow given a dramatic new lease of life, a semi-detached home reimagined with flair for a young family, and a penthouse apartment overlooking a golf course, which has been tailored to meet the needs of its owners.
From Belfast to rural county Tyrone and the coastal Ballycastle, Laurence and the judges visit a variety of properties, including carefully crafted new builds, a terraced home bursting with colour, a cottage built using traditional craftmanship, an ‘upside-down’ property designed around spectacular sea views and an ‘eco’ house.
It is down to the three judges to decide which five homes deserve a place in the grand final.
House Of The Year starts Monday 5 January on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer. The first five episodes are available to watch on BBC iPlayer after episode one airs on Monday 5 January. The grand final will broadcast Monday 9 February on BBC One Northern Ireland and BBC iPlayer.
