Front of House

It's the first thing that anyone sees, so why do people pay so little attention to the outside of their home? In each episode of Front Of House, designer Oliver Heath (of Changing Rooms fame), gardener Lisa Buckland and their team of builders, carpenters and painters have just three days to give a property a complete facelift.

In the first episode, they're out to transform the façade and garden of a neighbourhood eyesore, creating in its place a beautiful Italian-themed house. Oliver and Lisa's plan to bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Manchester is a pretty ambitious one. However when the heavens then decide to open, it looks like their endeavours could be a total washout.
