Keera Vale is one of the oldest properties in the Wollongong area. Built in 1843 for Judge Therry, the building has been unloved and butchered by many succeeding owners and requires major restoration. But this hasn’t deterred Jen and Harold. These two fell in love with the ‘house on the hill’ and their impetuous move to buy it may indeed be a case of ‘love is blind’. The house, made of crumbling convict bricks, has many surprises in store for the pair. Jen is passionate and dynamic, Harold is a born builder and nothing will stop them fulfilling their dream of restoring and living in Keera Vale with their family. With a big mortgage, Harold has taken long service leave to do most of the work himself. But living in this house with their four children, is going to put their passion and patience to the test.
