What happened after
16th-century Grade II listed manor house, now positioned as a wedding/private-events venue (up to 46 guests) with 17-19 en-suite rooms; official site live but contact is WhatsApp-only, no phone/address published.
What happened on the show
Chris and Jonathan had bought Churston Court, a crumbling old manor, following their hearts instead of their heads, and were only starting to grasp the scale of the job before them when Alex Polizzi arrived in series 13. Her brief was clear from the summary: reverse decades of ugly decor, teach the owners to clear the clutter, erase an oppressive red colour scheme and herald a more glamorous, curated look. This was a decor and discipline case at heart, a sixteenth-century Grade II listed manor whose romantic buyers had underestimated the work, and Polizzi's task was to translate their affection for the building into a coherent, sellable interior rather than a well-loved money pit. Chris and Jonathan's crumbling manor aired in July 2017, and it now hosts weddings, consistent with the hopeless-romantics framing the episode used.
After the cameras left
Churston Court is still going, now positioned as a wedding and private-events venue for up to forty-six guests, with seventeen to nineteen en-suite rooms in the sixteenth-century Grade II listed manor in Devon. Its official site is live, though contact runs through WhatsApp only, with no published phone or address, a weaker-than-usual signal of live operation that holds the open status at medium confidence. The current wedding-venue framing is consistent with the hopeless-romantics owners the episode described. The crumbling building Chris and Jonathan bought with their hearts appears to have found a viable use hosting weddings.
