Produced by London- and Cardiff-based factual prodco Somersault Studio, the 10×47’ series is distributed globally by TVF International.

It sees To the Manor Born actress Keith visit nine historic properties in the UK that were once hidden away but which are now open to the public. She meets the owners and hears how they generate revenue from their homes to prevent them having to be sold.

Somersault Studios will launch a Saving Country Houses YouTube channel in early 2026 to help promote the series.
