Tom and Lisa live in a 19th century farmhouse in Tullow, Co. Carlow. At first glance, it is big and beautiful, but all is not quite as it seems. It's a two up, two down with a difference. "It's very deceiving. It looks like a very big farmhouse but it's actually quite shallow" says Tom.

When Tom and Lisa inherited the farmhouse 11 years ago, it was derelict and was far from walk-in condition. They took 3 years to renovate it and make it their own. Now, second time round, with two children and planning more, they need more space.
