The couple encounter a number of challenges and obstacles in their dream build which is situated right by the town's picturesque canal, and even shows the effects of the devastating 2015 Christmas floods on their project.

The problematic project even pushes the couple to claim that if they could go back, they wouldn't have started.

Nick said: "If we could get our money back we would walk away."

While Fiona added: "If I had known what it would be like, I wouldn't have started."

But despite the trials, do the couple deliver a finished product that was once just the stuff of dreams - let us know if you tune in to find out!
