Ooh, just seen the view of the house from the street. Stands out a bit.
Looks okay from close up and inside, but nothing special or 'grand' and from the street

Re: Grand Designs returns....
An interesting story rather than a grand design this week. Agree with the view from the road, doesn't fit in at all.
Re: Grand Designs returns....
I liked the design but in that setting it looked like a church !!

Re: Grand Designs returns....
call me sick but I did see the unusual start coming. was interesting trying to work out wither the architect or Kevin "the sperminator" Mcloud would knock up the merry widow (Am I the only one who thought she looked better sans husband?)
Anyway loved the house I like when budgets are limited, the I have unlimited funds brigade are just as dull as the I am an Architect and I am showing off BTW have you seen my SAAB crowd.

Re: Grand Designs returns....
Cant believe that the council insist on coal tarring every barn conversion, surely that argument that Kev gave would put that one to rest PDQ.
I liked the hall bit, but only as a novelty, it's a pretty much useless space and the main barn was nice downstairs with the high cielings but upstairs was pretty pokey.

Re: Grand Designs returns....
Was that a 'Grand Design' ...or simply a restoration project? 

Re: Grand Designs returns....
Agree with the comments above, it was a bit of a patchwork when it was finished not very cohesive. What is the point of huge ( barn) dining room, big open spaces downstairs and then pokey bedrooms. I think more effort should have gone into the planning / design element to pull it all together. Most disappointing end product of the series so far.

I thought it was ok, it's not what I would have done but if you told me I had to live in it for a year I wouldn't be terribly upset.
