It's stressful enough having work done on your home but to have the usually tortuous process filmed for television surely adds an extra layer onto the challenge.
But Sarah Beeny's new property show Little House Big Plans on Channel 4 is not about focusing on issues, spiralling budgets and timescales that slip through the home owners' fingers. The property expert's new property programme is all about finding home owners who have small and want big, and how they have managed to create something super special without taking on and tackling a massive 'grand design'.
The show is packed full of homeowners getting the biggest creative change for smaller budgets that match what they have available to spend, with Sarah and fellow presenter architect Damion Burrows, plus the film crew, visiting regularly to document the renovation, restoration or remodelling; and sometimes all three.
