Best House in Town - Season 1

First up is the historic city of York. The homeowners of three much-loved detached properties in the area have handed their keys over to five nosy neighbours...

They'll judge the perspective champions on three key criteria: the functionality of the home, the ambition of its interior design and finally, the ‘X factor'.

First up is a lovely Victorian railway cottage which, after a nine-year renovation project, is packed with ambition, style and train memorabilia. Next on the agenda is a 1960s farmhouse, a beautiful functional family home with every nook and cranny packed full of objects. Last up is a bungalow that's had a serious glow-up.

The nosy neighbours visit four fabulous flats in York.

Competing today is a modern penthouse with a killer view, a split-level flat with a very sweet history, a new build that will take you down the rabbit hole and a Georgian home built in the shadow of the medieval York walls.

The owners of semi-detached properties to battle it out to compete in the final. Featuring 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.

Let loose and champing at the bit, the neighbours set to work, viewing the three wildcard homes that simply defy being categorised.

There is an eco-friendly dream home designed to be accessible for the future.

A home that was once a cavernous agricultural barn.

And a five-story Georgian townhouse saved from the jaws of dilapidation.

After a good nose, they judge all three properties on the functionality of the home, the ambition of its interior design and finally, the ‘X factor'.

It's a tough job but someone has got to do it, and the local amateur property aficionados will bring skill and humour to finding The Best House In Town.

Today, four proud homeowners are through to this week's big final.

They will hand over their keys for a second time to five nosy neighbours, who will get one last look around the homes to help them decide who has the winning home.
