ITV has shared the first look at Martin Compston thriller Our House<\/a>, based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Louise Candlish.<\/p>\n

In the teaser clip, Downton Abbey<\/a>\u2018s Tuppence Middleton, who stars as Fiona Lawson, the estranged wife to Compston\u2019s Bram, can be seen returning home only to discover that a new family are moving in. They claim to have purchased the property.<\/p>\n

With her family\u2019s possessions and furniture nowhere to be seen, Fi is certain there\u2019s been a huge mistake and insists her home isn\u2019t for sale and she would know if she had rented it out. However, the woman moving in insists that she and her family now own the house, producing the house key from her pocket as proof.<\/p>\n
