Some properties ooze such a unique atmosphere and have so much of a homeowner's love and care wrapped up within its walls that any visitor can't fail to feel it, and that's exactly what happened in the south west Wales regional episode of Wales' Home of the Year.
The judges were breathless with excitement and admiration for a traditional Welsh cottage located in the shadow of Kidwelly castle - imagine what might have happened if they'd seen all of the photos of how the property looked when homeowner Luke took it on to renovate; they probably would have fainted.
It needed a lot of work. In fact it was taken back to brick, became roofless and had a total conservatory update to become part of a proper 'heart of the home' kitchen. The judges loved it and they didn't even completely see how it looked before the homeowner got his creative hands on it.
