Description
Battlefields House is the amusing tale of the McKenzie family, and their sudden decision to move to a shared country residence not far from Bath. But soon after moving in they realise that the other residents at the Battlefields mansion are made up of an international group of individuals who have their own agendas on how Battlefields should be run. After Adam McKenzie is coerced into becoming Chairman of the management committee he has to juggle the finances, garden contracts, roof repairs and cantankerous neighbours while Nicola McKenzie is focused on making new friends, refurbishing their outdated apartment and helping Adam keep the peace between recalcitrant individuals who make up the eclectic mix of folk at Battlefields House.
