Business analyst Emily Lavelle her husband Ashley Hayes, who works in IT, and their three kids live in what would appear to be an ideal home: a large Victorian terraced house in the highly sought-after Dublin suburb of Donnybrook.
The house, originally owned by Emily's father, has been in the family for 40 years. Emily herself lived here when she was a student at nearby UCD.
Structurally, the house is much as it was when Emily and Ashley took up permanent residence 14-years-ago. Apart from knocking through a few dividing walls and refurbishing the living room, they haven't done much to the place, and it shows.
