July 2023 Eoghan Ó Riain began a 9-month journey to create his own dream home in Rathmullan. Last April he concluded the renovations at No. 4 Seaview Terrace, Kerr’s Bay and it was a big push in the last few days to get all the small parts in place. Why? Hugh Wallace and his TV crew from the Great House Revival were due for the final time to show the completed home on the programme, on RTE1 on this Sunday the 16th of March. Eoghan, an engineer by trade and now working in finance, had always a great interest in property and in restoring old houses in particular. The son of Estate Agent, Ger and artist and former art teacher at Loreto CS in Milford, Roisin, he is also very creative. When he got the keys of Seaview Terrace, which is on the shore front in Rathmullan about 100 metres from the Beachcomber Bar, he set about renovating and extending the property. Eoghan realises how fortunate he was to acquire such a historic house, which has deep roots within Rathmullan, a community which has welcomed and supported him throughout the project.
