North Devon

Kate revisits Georgie and Robin Monaghan, who traded in their suburban home in Worthing, East Sussex, for a detached house in the village of Shebbear in Devon. The couple had plans to convert the outbuilding into a holiday let and develop an allotment and rear hens to live a more sustainable life, but with work and occasional commuting, plus two young boys to raise, it wasn't going to be without its challenges, especially when they were thrown a very complicated cancer-shaped curve ball.

Mid Wales

This time, Kate's in Mid Wales to meet Richard and Dawn, plus their daughter Karli, her husband Matt and their three young daughters. They made the brave decision to pool their resources and move in together to build a whole new way of life in the country.

Having already sold their two suburban homes in Cardiff for a combined £605,000 and left behind family, friends and jobs in the city, the 3 generations of family found a traditional Welsh longhouse, 76 miles west in rural Ceredigion. On the market for a whopping £160,000 less, and with its own wood fired pizzeria, two industrial sized polytunnels and set within three and a half acres of landscaped show gardens, previously open to the public, the family had some grand plans to revive this local attraction back to its former glory.

This ambitious move not only made them all mortgage free, but gave them the chance to live off the land and become burgeoning rural entrepreneurs. However, with very little gardening or business experience, it was a Herculean task to tame their three acres of overgrown gardens, and adjusting to all living and working under the same roof really tested everyone.

After months of hard graft, Kate is back to see all the new developments including a new café, amazing pizzeria and their glorious gardens in full bloom. But has this 24/7 graft been worth it?
