Double Your House for Half the Money

Sarah Beeny meets newlyweds Andrew and Angharad in Northamptonshire and Vicki in Sussex, who needs more space for her two small kids. In Church Brampton, Northamptonshire, newlywed couple Andrew and Angharad Garner bought a country home with a problem - it had a neighbour's access alley running along the side wall of the house. To put it simply, if they build an extension, they will have to leave an alleyway running slap bang through the middle of their house. In East Preston, Sussex, single mum Vicki Thorne is in need of a workable home for her typically energetic four-year-old and for his big sister six-year-old Iona-May, who has (quadriplegic) cerebral palsy. Vicki and her mum have spent the last two years raising the funds from donations to pay for the £60,000 needed for the building work.
