It’s all change for the Llewelyn-Bowen family. After almost 20 years of ‘London Living’ Laurence has a problem. His wife Jackie wants the two of them and their daughters Cecile (11) and Hermione (8) to up sticks and move to the country. She’s always dreamed of a huge house to entertain friends and family in, and an acre or two of land in which to create an exquisite garden. Now in her 40s, she wants Laurence to turn that dream into reality.

The only trouble is Laurence is not convinced, he loves the city and they already have a perfectly lovely London town house.

But Jackie wins Laurence around and goes to view her first house, a 20 roomed manor house in Gloucestershire. She falls in love with the 400 year old manor house and before you can say Lady Llewellyn Bowen, she’s put in an offer of £1.3 million – and it’s accepted. Now all she has to do is sell it to Laurence!
