Episode 11 of 15

Simon is in Shropshire to help vintage-vehicle-loving Bethan and John turn a 1940s railway goods carriage into a unique B&B located in their back garden.

Simon is in Shropshire to help vintage-vehicle-loving Bethan and John turn a 1940s railway goods carriage into a unique B&B located in their back garden.

Their love of things from the past is music to the ears of designers Verity Coleman and Sophie Dunn, who get creative with Bethan and John鈥檚 treasure trove of vintage pieces. Sophie upcycles a metal cabinet for the bathroom, and Verity gets creative with Bethan and John鈥檚 daughter, Seren, who has her own collection of pottery pieces found on the site. Top carpenter Ian Tsang gets to grips with another vintage vehicle and creates a full bathroom inside an old animal box. Simon transforms the floor into an outdoor kitchen, complete with upcycled taps and sink.

A trip to a converted 1960s horsebox in Swindon called The Swallow speaks to Bethan and John鈥檚 love of vintage vehicles and gives them lots of ideas for their railway carriage.
