RTE Room to Improve viewers were left impressed tonight as the new season kicked off with a bang.
Dermot Bannon worked with couple Amy O’Sullivan and Conor Dunne on renovating their century-old property in Tullamore. The property belonged to Conor's late grandmother and was gifted to them by his parents.
They pair set aside a strict budget of €325,000 for the project and Dermot didn't go over budget. He totally transformed the property into a modern home but retained the original structural layout of the old farmhouse.

Viewers were very impressed with Dermot's work on tonight's episode. One wrote on social media: "No Sunday night dread when a new series of 'Room to improve' has started back on @RTEOne, love it. Fantastic @DermotBannon - the house turned out beautiful".
Another said: "Great to see these buildings which are full of memories and history, brought back to life. Rejuvenation of such houses should be encouraged by all (planners, banks, state agencies) not left to rot. Congrats all, a job well done. A2 rating proves it can be done".
A third commented: "Have to say Dermot Bannon and Co done a great job on the old farmhouse."
Room to Improve returns to RTÉ One and RTÉ player next Sunday at 9.30 pm.
