Property expert George Clarke returns to unlock the potential of more historic homes. Homeowners love historic houses. But lots of these properties are stuck in the past. In this returning season, architect George Clarke once again gets under the skin of historic homes to make them fit for 21st century living. His challenges include creating a cozy kitchen in a chilly stone farmhouse, a Regency apartment that's anything but regal, and a coach house with a crazy layout.
George visits a handsome turn-of-the-century terraced home whose new owners are set on a monochrome color scheme, and a workshop that makes antique effect mirrors.
George is out and about with his sledgehammer, knocking holes in a fake Tudor ceiling in Leamington Spa, and moving doors in a farmhouse on the edge of the Peak District.
Up a long garden path in Leeds is a Victorian villa that's Jawad and Charlie's labor of love. And in Brixton, George hopes for a clean sweep with a redundant chimney.
George has some radical ideas to redesign an Edwardian home. In Surrey, he tackles a Victorian mishmash, some MDF, a quirky fireplace and a random room.
