Simon Kelsey had known and loved one particular house on Coltman Street in Hull since he was ten years old. The once grand Victorian townhouse was already in decline but now it's in critical condition - ignored for years, carved up by modern conversions and on one of the most deprived streets in the town. Simon took a massive gamble and decided to try to save it. But the problems are mounting for our present-day hero - with the council worried about slow progress and Simon's funds diminishing fast - could the house that Simon dreamt of owning end up bankrupting him and leaving him homeless?
