The joint MD of the Cara Group and former Dragons’ Den investor joined a special edition of the property show on Wednesday which saw five well-known personalities showcase their homes.

For taking part, Ramona pledged a donation of €5,000 to her chosen charity – the Marie Keating Foundation.

The seaside views from Ramona’s spectacular revival period home wowed the judges. Set overlooking Tullan Strand, the huge property is adorned with glamorous and elegant details in reflection of her personal style.

The mansion, which is home to Ramona, her husband Canice, son Alex and daughter Sarah, earned a score of 25 from the show’s three expert judges; design legend Hugh Wallace, interior designer Deirdre Whelan and architect Peter Crowley.

The judges admired the sweeping staircase, ornate furniture and plush living areas. From a princess room for baby Sarah to the masculine/feminine entertainment suite, there was no shortage of talking points. The judges’ only comment was that the windows were not large enough to celebrate the amazing Atlantic views.

Judge Hugh Wallace gave the home a score of 10 and said: “It really is an extraordinary house because when you come up to the outside you just wonder what it’s going to be like on the inside, you sometimes get disappointed, and since I’ve come into this home I have nothing but the greatest admiration for the homeowner. I think it’s a truly exceptional home.”

After much competition and deliberations, John Boyne’s colourful home won the overall title of Celebrity Home of The Year 2018.
