The Restoration Man

Former heavyweight boxing champion and star of Guy Ritchie’s smash hit ‘Snatch’, Scott Welch has spent 20 years harbouring a dream that he would someday own Thorington Gate Lodge in Suffolk. Undeterred by the fact it sits beside the busy A12 and he hasn’t even seen the inside, Scott buys this tiny Georgian gem. Having missed out on a lot of family time he plans to convert it into a weekend retreat so he can spend more time with his father who lives near by. Architect George Clarke uncovers the history and designs an uber-modern glass extension to transform this miniature marvel into a 21st Century home. However, it soon becomes clear that Scott’s fight to get planning will not be an easy win.
