Room to Improve - Series 8, Programme 1


Dun Laoghaire
In the ten years since they first met Avril and Andrew Wilson-Rankin have been dreaming of owning their own home. Now they've bought a property in Dun Laoghaire south county Dublin but it's as far from being a home, or even a house, as you could imagine. Andrew and Avril's dream home is a 2 storey disused commercial lockup on a side street, hemmed in by public pavement on one side and double yellow lines on the other. It's dark, dusty and - for now - completely uninhabitable.
