Abbey Dore Court on Country House Rescue

You might have seen Country house rescue last night – it was a revisit to Abbey Dore Court.
Charis Ward bought Abbey Dore Court in 1967 for £12,000. In 2000, Charis decided to leave Abbey Dore to live in a more manageable property and the house fell into disrepair. Charis’ s 26-year-old granddaughter Clare is determined to bring her formerly happy home back to life.

Clare asked Ruth Watson to help, but Ruth’s idea for a B&B was rejected by the family in favour of turning the house into a self-catering holiday business. Ruth cautioned them against the decision, but Charis was determined.

Interesting that they didn’t want to run a B&B even though it would make more money – though I think she said she might in the future.
