The team catch up with the renovations at Stoke Hall and Nutbourne Pumping Station.

The team return to the historic buildings being transformed into dream homes. This revisits Stoke Hall and Nutbourne Pumping Station.

Restoration Home documented the stories of six historic buildings at risk of being lost forever. Six new owners made a commitment to transform them into their dream homes. But there was more to rescuing these buildings than anyone imagined.

Caroline Quentin followed the challenges faced by the new owners, and architectural expert Kieran Long and historian Dr Kate Williams dug into the history of the properties to uncover their extraordinary pasts.

Now they return to find out what has happened one year on. The first episode revisits the grandest and most expensive restoration project, Stoke Hall, and the one that caused the most controversy, Nutbourne Pumping Station.

Stoke Hall is a Grade II listed, 30-room Georgian mansion in Derbyshire. Saving this 18th century building would be difficult and expensive, but Steve and Natalie were convinced it would make their perfect family home. When Caroline last visited, the couple still had a lot to do. There is still a team of craftsmen on site, but there has been an impressive transformation.

Nutbourne Pumping Station in West Sussex underwent a radical renovation made easier because it was not listed. In its day the 1930s pumping station supplied clean water, but by the 1970s it was a wreck. Nick and Brigitte's ambitious plans to turn it into a modern, carbon efficient home succeeded but it also divided opinion. How did they weather the criticism and is it true that their dream home is now up for sale?
