Following the restoration of crumbling properties. This episode features Big House, a building once known for its grandeur and influence. Can it be restored?

Once a building of grandeur and influence, Big House is now a carcass.

Why did this house fall into rack and ruin? Can it ever be returned to its former glory and who can tell what it looked like in its heyday?

Owner, Alun, has lived in this part of the world all his life and dreamed of owning Big House ever since he was a small boy. Almost 10 years ago, he bought it. He's got a big job on his hands. Progress has been painfully slow but his aim it to turn Big House into a home.
