George Clarke's Building Home is a leisure hobbies series airing on UK television.
The episode is presented as a programme in which an architect is introduced to a young married couple. It follows the familiar format of a design‑focused series, charting the professional interaction between the architect and the homeowners as the narrative unfolds. In this particular instalment, the architect meets Lauren and Lee, a recently married pair who share a clear ambition: they want to bring an old cottage back to life. The couple’s vision centres on restoring the property, which, while full of character, has become faded over time. Their hope is to preserve its charm while giving it a fresh, livable feel. The setting for their project is the Derbyshire village of Matlock Bath, a location known for its picturesque surroundings. The cottage itself is described as both charming and faded, indicating a structure that still holds aesthetic appeal despite its wear. Throughout the episode, the architect’s role is to assess the building’s condition and to discuss how best to realise Lauren and Lee’s restoration goals within the constraints of the existing fabric. The programme therefore offers a concise look at the collaborative process of renovating a historic home in a rural English setting.
Set against the coastal backdrop of Anglesey, Tina and Steve, together with their teenage daughter, are embarking on an ambitious building project; the trio aim to design a striking residence that blends modern materials with the island’s rugged charm.

The family is determined to see the project through despite the financial challenge.
