Best House in Town - Episode Guide

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.
