All over Britain, thousands of old buildings lie forgotten and neglected, tangled up with red tape and development restrictions. Many of these property orphans are steeped in history and are of outstanding architectural interest, yet are slowly being left to rot. Luckily these forgotten gems are being bought by stubborn romantics who all share one dream – they want to create a home which is totally unique.
Architect George Clarke is passionate about Britain’s archiÂtectural heritage and wants to help breathe new life into these architectural treasures. Sharing his vision and expertise to help these restoration warriors realise their dreams, George tours England, Wales and Scotland to find the finest examples of windmills, follies, gate houses, ice houses, towers, and churches.
Each of the nine episodes in this three DVD set focuses on the architectural and historical significance of these interesting and mysterious buildings, and the dreamers whose grand designs are transformed into a home which is totally unique.
