The 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 1930's space-saving conversion, a souped-up Victorian terrace, and a traditional two-up two-down terrace with a massive facelift.

Semi-detached properties battle it out for a chance to compete in the final; featuring a vibrant family home with an industrial twist, a sleek, split-level semi, and an eclectic Edwardian with a menagerie of surprises.

Competing are a traditional Edwardian end-of-terrace, a Victorian terrace brought crashing into the 21st century, and a terrace that's been stretched to its limit.

The judges, a group of knowledgeable property obsessed neighbours, revisit the week's finalists.
