The Best House in Town

Three detached properties in York compete to be chosen for the Friday final of the best house in town: a Victorian cottage with its roots in the local past; a 1960's farmhouse was given a new lease of life.

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.

A two-up, two-down, 1930's home reinvented for the modern taste; another 1930's home more traditionally restored; a 1970's communal build, with some surprises from its past.

An eco-friendly dream home designed for the future; a converted barn renovated with a slick, modern twist; a five story 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 face lift.
