TV presenter Mary Kennedy shares her experience of downsizing and moving into a modern, energy-efficient home in her beloved Dublin parish.
Mary Kennedy has been called “brave” for selling her family home of 20 years to downsize to a smaller, more modern home in the same Knocklyon area of Dublin. Here, Mary invites us inside her new abode and talks about what her non-negotiables were when moving, why she refused to leave her “parish” and how her interior style has evolved.
She discusses the joy of her new open-plan, bright, and modern home, emphasizing her need for a south-facing garden and four bedrooms to accommodate her daughter and grandchildren. Despite downsizing, she stayed in the same parish, maintaining her community ties and familiar surroundings. She highlights the significant energy savings she experiences in her new A-rated home compared to her old D-rated one, noting that she rarely needs to use heating.
