This property series follows architect Piers Taylor and actress and property enthusiast Caroline Quentin as they discover the world's most extraordinary abodes. The pair travels far and wide -- across mountains, through forests, along coasts and deep underground to find unique properties. In Norway, the hosts take a speed boat out to a four-bedroom house off the coast, while over in Spain they take in spectacular views from a home built on a steep cliff face. Piers and Caroline go on to explore a wooden building on New Zealand's South Island in Marlborough Sounds and a ship-inspired building in Nova Scotia, Canada.
