New series of GD Australia on more 4 tonight

Really like some of these. Will see...
Thanks for the heads-up, I like these too!
Just caught up on it last night, was awful I thought!

Quirky (to say the least) but what a crappy plot and the building totally dominated it.
I expected to hate it but quite liked it, other than I'd always want a downstairs area which you can close off.

Anyone else thinking that the ceiling panels jarred and that another (any other) treatment would have been better. Lack of veneer matching itched the teeth, too, but I also liked it more than I expected.

The downstairs reminded me of a static caravan. Horrid built in soft furnishings, and really quite awkward spaces - without imo the satisfaction from the design to make it worthwhile...

As for the outside. Bleugh.

Same for me really. Cladding looked awful in white/cream and the internal space looked very un-homely.

It’s between two properties at £1.4 and £1.5m so a waste of time anyway trying to keep the price a secret.

I seem to remember the guy had a health scare, and then decided to mortgage himself to the hilt for this (nice though):

I'd be taking a good long look at the detailing on that one (do I remember correctly that they used ferrous nails on the cladding?)

You can see the lines from the rusty nails on the pictures in the ad. The cladding looks pretty tired too.

Stunning property though in an awesome location not often you get to build in such a location. Worth the money IMO.
