George Clarke’s Old House New Home: Leighla and Phil’s episode

Leighla and Phil are a couple featured on season 7 episode 1 of the Channel 4 show. They work as managers of operations in health and social care.

The pair hail from Stroud where they own a “ramshackle, listed Georgian farmhouse“.

Leighla and Phil are adding an industrial-style extension to their Grade-2 listed home to bring it into the 21st century.

Judging by George Clarke’s Instagram post in the lead-up to the show’s premiere, the couple has two young children to consider in the home renovations.

Square One Interiors also took to Twitter to share that they had supplied the couple with one of their Powder Coated U-Bar Table & Bench Sets.
