The search is on for Wales's Home of the Year 2022. The judges are led by Wales's favourite drumming weatherman Owain Wyn Evans. He joins interior designer Mandy Watkins from Anglesey, and Cardiff-based architect Glen Thomas to discover outstanding homes across Wales.
Our judges have reached mid Wales where they must choose between a castellated period property near Abergavenny, a Victorian manor house in Aberystwyth and a contemporary conversion in Cardigan. Scoring them on architectural merit, distinctive design and original style, which home will Owain, Mandy and Glen choose to go forward to the grand final?
In the north west, a dainty barn conversion outside Caernarfon is up against an imposing Victorian townhouse in Llandudno and an extended seaside lodge near Conwy.
The judges are in the south east where they must choose between a converted nursing home in Pontypridd, a 1930s semi-detached in Caerleon and a former borstal school outside Chepstow. Scoring them on architectural merit, distinctive design and original style, which home will Owain, Mandy and Glen choose to go forward to the grand final?
