In Ashford, Co. Wicklow, Nigel and Frances Coffey live in a bungalow built in 1997 on land donated to them by Frances' father. The house is a typical period bungalow, built from a plan taken from a handbook. It was perfect for them 20 years ago, but with 5 children ranging in ages from 9 to 26 and with girlfriends, friends, a dog and family living near by, the house is just too cramped and they struggle for space. They want to redesign the property into their dream home and Dermot plans to give them the extra space they need with an internal revamp and a two storey extension, all on a budget is 450,000 Euros.
