George Clarke's 'absolutely wrecked' Edwardian home with six bedrooms

Telly architect George Clarke admits his two-storey Edwardian home was "absolutely wrecked" when he first purchased it back in 2007. The Home Show star splits his time between a historic home in Notting Hill, west London, and another home in Gloucestershire, but it's his home he's most proud of after a complete renovation.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2011 - while he was still with his first wife Catriona Drummond - George shared: "From the outside, our west London Edwardian house looks tiny. In 2007 it had three bedrooms, two storeys and 1,500 sq ft. It had been absolutely wrecked over the years, with all the period features ripped out and concrete roof tiles."

Determined to restore the home to its former glory, George "took out every floor, every wall and the roof" to add an extension to the back of the property. He also added a "massive basement cinema area and playroom" for his children - boosting the property to six bedrooms and 3,500 sq. ft.

The star explained: "We restored the clay pantiles and the timber sash windows. British housing stock has so much potential to be dragged into the 21st century."

The home, which dates back to 1910, also boasts a Conmoto fireplace designed by Peter Maly, along with an original black Eames chair and even model boats based on his grandad's business as a prawn fisherman who built his own vessels.

Despite restoring the epic home, things haven't been plain sailing for George when it comes to his personal life. He split from his wife Catriona in 2013 after welcoming three children together, and went on to marry Katie Morgan Jones in 2018. However, by 2022 the pair had reportedly split.

The Amazing Spaces host is dad to Georgie, 21, Emilio, 18 and Iona, 16 - who were baffled that their dad was famous. He told Netmums in 2024: "Weirdly, they thought everyone's dad was on TV. Then when I'd take them on holiday when they were eight, nine, 10, they really didn't like it. My son Emilio would be like, 'Dad why are people hassling us all the time, why do they keep coming over?'

"I don't mind doing that of course, if someone's going to take the time to watch my show I can take two minutes to have a selfie with them. But for them it was really intrusive, they kind of hated it so I had to start protecting them."
