not at all my taste - but then they're happy with it so that's all that counts. May have to take a drive past to see what it looks like from the road
Do you know the area? It looked to me that there may be a quite a lot of public access to the woods.

great build, though I must say I was rather taken with the old house...
Thought the outside looked amazing, one of the best ever with how it combined with the old buildings, but the interior was too cluttered, woody or impractical. Real mixed build for me

Why oh why is there rarely a garage incorporated in their designs. I think I've seen every episode and only a couple of garages have been featured.
Doesn't everyone's design start with a garage??!!

At last, a proper moment of doom for our host. He's had to be patient this series.

Not looking good, is it.

After adverts, perhaps the house has sold and the house is completed.

GD has all gone very over dramatic hasn't it? It rains a bit so it's a disaster, a massive black cloud of doom and gloom hangs over the choosing of kitchen cupboards, their old house doesn't sell within 5 minutes so the job stops for a bit, kevins voice drops as he holds back tears....
It's just a typical build....

Indeed. When I've made my fortune and do mine it'll basically be a massive garage with an annex on it. hehe

Get in, a massive pile with floor to ceiling windows for your neighbours in the little terrace houses to peer into.

They had a garage, the overgead view showed a double/ triple mid construction.
