Restoration Home S01E03 · Stoke Hall

Overview

Stoke Hall is a 30-room Georgian mansion whose future has been far from certain for decades. The leaking roof and widespread rot makes securing the building difficult and expensive. At risk of being lost forever is the Hall's 250-year-old Georgian décor which miraculously has survived. Local, childhood sweethearts, Steve and Natalie, started married life in a 3-bed semi. Now he is a self-made millionaire with a successful business supplying high-tech products to the energy business. As the restoration starts, the past life of the house begins to emerge revealing architectural and social connections to the highest and most influential people in the land.
