Working with tradespeople, Amanda and Alan aim to transform the rundown buildings into one fabulous holiday home to sell on. The pair both have a passion for interiors and property, so it seems the perfect match.
Speaking about the show, Amanda revealed: "Alan and I came up with the idea for this show together and approached the BBC as we knew it was the perfect home.
