George takes on a 17th-century, Grade II listed thatched cottage in Warwickshire. Anthony, a builder, and Emily, a physiotherapist, are determined to turn this rather ramshackle build into their family home. But they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

In Clapham, Masum and Maria's Victorian terraced home no longer works for their family. In Hove, Louis and Sarah tackle the upstairs of their 16th-century gatehouse.

In Stratford-upon-Avon, George Clarke helps Laura and Jonnie to transform their mock-Tudor Edwardian house. And in Essex, Nicki's 1920s cottage needs major changes. 

George takes inspiration from Japan, to help Rachel and Sarah with their Victorian terrace. And have a young couple taken on too much with a listed 17th-century cottage?

The architect tries to unlock the potential of old properties. He starts out in Stroud, where Phil and Leighla are transforming their ramshackle, listed Georgian farmhouse with an industrial-style extension. George also pays a visit to Wootton Bassett, where he helps a couple flip the layout of their Victorian end-of-terrace home.
