A picturesque Island home is expected to feature on a Channel 4 show this evening.

A Restorative Retreat - based on the slopes of Sartfell and designed by Foster Lomas - is due to appear on tonight's latest episode of Grand Designs: House of the Year hosted by Kevin McCloud.

The home is currently on a longlist of properties in contention for honours in the 2019 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Awards - with those which make the final shortlist being exclusively revealed on the programme.

The latest episode in the series gets underway tonight at 9pm.
