George Clarke returns to help more people unlock the potential of old houses. He begins with Edwardian family home suffering wall-to-wall 1970s panelling, an indestructible cement staircase and a boxy bathroom shoved into a bay window. He also helps a couple update their Tudor cottage by knocking two rooms together to create an opulent master en suite.
George visits a typical-looking Victorian terrace in Plumstead that has been stripped of all its original interior features. The question is whether the owners should start from scratch or try to reinstate some of the key period elements. The architect also visits a 1900s villa near Liverpool, where access to the main bedroom is through the bathroom. Can he come up with a much more sensible layout?
George's continued renovation mission takes him to Moseley and Wheaton Aston in the West Midlands. He begins with a conversion to unite upstairs and downstairs flats in an Arts and Crafts building, although one of his suggestions leaves the owners speechless. He also visits an 18th-century pub that has fallen victim to some dodgy DIY - and quickly devises a clever plan to make the most of the period features.
A young couple ask George to help make sense of their poorly planned Victorian terrace, which currently means they have to go through the kitchen to get to the only bathroom in the house. They have big ideas, but without a budget to match it will prove to be a challenge. The architect also visits a mother in the Cotswolds who plans to knock together two tiny Grade II listed cottages to create a cosy family home. This will leave her with two kitchens, two sitting rooms and even two staircases. Can George come up with a plan to make the most of this arrangement?
George is in Wirral to help retired couple Charles and Ian, who are finally getting round to a complete redesign of their Edwardian home. But will they agree to his radical changes or are they too set in their ways? George also tackles an 1850s country house in Surrey which has accrued some bizarre additions over the years, including a 1970s MDF staircase, a baronial fireplace and a random room that contains nothing but the fuse box.
George travels to Margate, where Joanna and Simon have bought themselves a large Victorian semi-detached house, only to become overwhelmed by the refurbishment task ahead. He also visits a grand Georgian manor built in 1820 and frequented by King Edward VII. The Worthing property was divided into flats in the 1980s and it is in one of these that owners Charlie and Julie are wrestling with how to turn a big Regency reception room into contemporary living and dining space. Last in the series.
George Clarke meets Pip, a woman in West Yorkshire who is moving back into her childhood home, which was last decorated by her parents in the 1960s. Pip struggles with the idea of painting over her childhood wallpaper and replacing the kitchen that her father hand built, but George is on hand to offer her emotional support.
George visits a property in Yorkshire which is part Victorian stone farmhouse and part brick extension, with interiors that are outdated and in need of renovating. Meanwhile in Buckinghamshire, George meets the owners of an 18th century gatehouse who need help changing the layout of their living room.
George tackles two very different properties from the Georgian architectural period. First, he visits a townhouse in Yorkshire, which features high ceilings, a grand staircase and a heavy chandelier hanging from the original ceiling. Later, he travels to the Peak District, where he comes across a farmhouse which is in desperate need of a transformation.
George returns to a grand Victorian villa in Ormskirk to follow the next stage of its renovation. Having previously created a luxurious master en suite, his next task is to tackle the giant kitchen and utility area. He also visits a typical Victorian mansion block in London. Although structurally sound, the flat has been virtually untouched over the years. The result is dismal and depressing with a spare room that feels like a prison cell. Can George mastermind a plan to free up this criminal waste of space?
