Beeny's Restoration Nightmare

Sarah Beeny continues the challenge of saving East Yorkshire stately home Rise Hall from ruin. The property expert and her husband tackle the restoration of an old dining room, originally one of the most lavish rooms in the house, but risk taking on too much when they decide to host a full-scale Regency dinner as a charity fundraiser.

Sarah Beeny and her husband Graham Swift tackle two of the grandest rooms in the property - the morning and drawing rooms. The task to restore the elaborate plasterwork and features on a tight schedule proves daunting, with the duo struggling to cope with their daily commitments and a dispute with the local council.

Sarah Beeny and husband Graham Swift take some time off from the renovation project to focus on a playroom for the whole family, and plan to celebrate the summer with a jamboree. However, celebrations are cut short when her dispute with the local council reaches breaking point.

Sarah Beeny and her husband set out to renovate three bathrooms, visiting the workshops of a manufacturer of period sanitary ware reproductions for inspiration. The couple also meet two members of the auxiliary territorial services who were stationed at the stately home during the Second World War, and agree to hold a classic car display at Rise Hall.

Sarah Beeny and her husband try to transform the old servants' quarters into a pub-themed room, but they are astonished when a conservationist reveals its panelling is Jacobean. The continuing conflict with the council means they cannot raise much-needed money from putting on events at the house.
