Series 1 Episode 1

First Broadcast: Sun 21 March 2010 Channel 4

George Clarke meets builder Mark Horton who wants to convert an 18th century folly into a luxurious family home.

For years Mark Horton has harboured a dream to live in a unique house. With this in mind he bought Bath Lodge. On the `Buildings at Risk' register for ten years the lodge is just a derelict shell, with no access road or utilities.

George is on hand to advise and support, as well as turn detective as he uncovers the history behind this mysterious building.

Mark is ready for the challenge, but disaster strikes three months into the project when the bank pulls Mark's loan. Pressure mounts with dramatic consequences on his health and the build itself.
