Friends Charlotte and Helen have always dreamed of saving a neglected building steeped in history, and they certainly found one. Sitting on a windswept hill in rolling farmland, Pitkennedy School in Angus was once the cornerstone of a community. Generation after generation were educated within the old walls during its 150-year history until the school bell rang for the final time in 2006. Since then the old building has begun to rot and the spiral of decay has been quick.

As work begins, locals start to take notice of the school once again; while within the archives, voices of the first children and teachers start to be heard. A picture of rural 19th-century life emerges as we discover that an act of generosity by a wealthy Victorian was where it all began. Meanwhile, further research places this tiny school at the beginning of a revolution in education and school building that would change Britain forever. The new owners still face their biggest challenge - can these novices create a beautiful home from a neglected old Victorian school?

Crumbling, ancient houses are brought back to life by passionate owners as they restore and convert them into striking 21st century homes, unravelling the properties' extraordinary past lives through their architectural and social history.

Grand Designs meets Who Do You Think You Are? Presented by Caroline Quentin, Restoration Home follows private owners of crumbling historic buildings as they save them from ruin and restore them into wonderful 21st century homes. With the help of architectural expert, Kieran Long, and social historian, Dr. Kate Williams, Restoration Home turns detective to unravel the properties' astonishing lives. As the new owners transform the buildings into their homes, the family trees of these crumbling ruins start to emerge. Tales of Kings and Queens, murder, civil unrest, moments that shocked and shaped Britain are revealed as these buildings are brought back to life.
