Returning: Restoration Home

Caroline Quentin is back as eight new property owners try to turn historic ruins into dream homes.

2014-04-06_1147Caroline Quentin returns to ABC1 this Sunday night with Restoration Home, following the fortunes of eight properties as new owners try to turn historic ruins into dream homes.

When Alex and her partner, Martin, bought Rock Farm in Shropshire, the once perfectly proportioned Georgian house was a crumbling shell, cracked and contorted out of symmetry. The build schedule and the budget were tight but Alex believed she could save this 200-year-old building in just six months.

As the fabric of the building begins its steady restoration, layers of Rock Farm’s long lost history also become clear. Dr Kate Williams reveals the influential landowners, who lived there throughout the ages while architectural expert Kieran Long invites a specialist to look at the decaying bricks. An extraordinary discovery follows that adds another 300 years of history to the site and makes it a building of national importance.

  1. Thanks for the tip David, really enjoyed the first two seasons, which previously were hidden in a 6pm weeknight time slot. Nice to see an upgraded time this season.
