Channel 4 show didn't go down as smoothly as hoped and, by the end of the episode, Richard and Leigh were still living in a caravan, although they hoped to move into the property soon, and had spent £295,000.

The building hit disaster after disaster when it turned out many of the original beams were unstable and rotting due to 60 years of water leaking into the property.Kevin visibly grimaced as the antique beams were ripped out and replaced with cheap and modern softwood beams – which at least meant the house wouldn't fall down.And, at first, the new lime pointing around the stones looked garish and stark.Fortunately, by the end of the program, Kevin, a self-confessed purist, warmed up to the renovation a bit and admitted the outside was.
