A property which has not been used for more than 15 years has been given a makeover for a Channel 4 show.

Worst House on the Street, which first aired last year with six one-hour episodes, has recently finished filming on Sheppey for its upcoming second series.

The show helps transform run-down houses into dream homes without breaking the bank.

Presented by brother-and-sister Scarlette and Stuart Douglas, the property developers decided to revamp a site in Sheerness High Street.

They targeted a building most recently used as Bill’s Barbers – a hairdresser’s which closed back in the mid-noughties after being open for 20 years.

A spokesman for Channel 4 said: “I can confirm one of the episodes of series two of Worst House on the Street was filmed in Sheerness.

“The series is currently in final stages of production and there’s not a confirmed date for when it will air at present.”

Filming took place at the property between March and June, with renovation costs to be revealed when the episode airs.

Last year, the show’s pilot series first came onto UK screens in August, although a start date for series two has yet to be announced by Channel 4.

However, fans of the show can already take a look at the completed project – which is to be turned into an extension of the neighbouring arts shop, Let’s Get Crafting.

The family-run store was opened in April 2021 by owner Hayley Stock.

After a successful period of trading, the 57-year-old has since decided to branch out further and will use the formerly-derelict property next door once Channel 4 and the building’s landlord give her the green light to do so.

However, Miss Stock has already been making changes to Let’s Get Crafting, having added The Wool Gallery to the store.

An area targeted at knitting lovers, this has replaced the part of the shop previously used for events such as crafting evenings and children’s parties – activities which will now take place next door later this year.

The mother-of-two explained: “It’s a family business with myself, my son and my daughter and that’s why we opened the shop in the first place.

“I had just come out of the window picking trade, which I had been in for 20 years, and decided to do something for the kids who suffered during the pandemic.

“I love all things craft, but when we started we only sold things like pens and pencils - now we have expanded and have things like pottery and other novelty gifts.

“We also do adult pottery paintings once a month in the evenings – where The Wool Gallery is now.

“That’s why we’re extending to the site next door which will be our new place for kids’ parties and pottery classes.

“We also have a Santa’s grotto which we use for Christmas activities later in the year, and that will be located in the new building.

“So we’ll have double the space. My daughter Olivia helping me run the shop too, we both have such a passion for this sort of thing.

“We feel people like old-fashioned shops and always want wool to be sold more, so now we will finally have the space with what has been done next door which is really exciting.”
