Best House in Town

Three detached properties in York compete to be chosen as the best house in town: a Victorian cottage with its roots in the local past, a 1960s farmhouse given a new lease of life, and a 1980s bungalow where time travels inside.

Four apartments in York go head-to-head: a modern penthouse with a killer view, a split-level flat with a very sweet history, a new build that takes the judges down `the rabbit hole', and a Georgian flat built in the shadow of York's medieval walls.

Semi-detached properties battle it out for the best house in York: a two-up, two-down,1930s home reinvented for the modern taste, another 1930s home more traditionally restored, and a 1970s communal build with some surprises from its past.

Three York wildcard properties are thrown into the mix: an eco-friendly dream home designed for the future, a converted barn renovated with a slick, modern twist, and a five-storey Georgian townhouse saved from the jaws of dilapidation.

The winning homes from the four categories in York: the best detached, best apartment, best semi-detached and best wildcard property, are revisited by the judges. The judges are given new insight and the owners get one last chance to impress.

Three terraced homes in St Albans go head-to-head to impress the judges. Featuring a 1930s space-saving conversion, a souped-up Victorian terrace, and a traditional two-up two-down terrace with a massive facelift.
