missed a trick when she didn't design in a tunnel from the house to the man cave....and its for that reason, I'm out!
Like others, I liked the house and thought that it looked like it really worked as a home. It was a great advert for the designer.
The house is only over the road from me, and if anyone would like Kathryn's mobile number.... I wouldn't mention her ears though...
Which presumably means that Kathryn will in due course be perusing this thread if only out of curiosity. In which light some of the posts in this thread may qualify for a tag entitled [i]Might on balance have been better phrased[/i].
She's probably heard already.
oops
it used timber from sustainable sources, like English oak.
Been wondering how "sustainable" oak actually is given the number of projects we see using it? It also has to be harvested and machine cut to be affordable(wrecking blades ime!! )
I also liked the fact that once they had moved in it did actually look lived in (lots of "stuff" everywhere, books, ceramics etc), something rare in most Grand Designs.
Agreed. Usually I admire the houses on the show until I think how they'd look if I lived there - all of the sleek, minimalist, modernist houses would look terrible as they filled up with books, bikes and other stuff. A house designed to be full of stuff and with book shelves being part of the design is great.
I thought the BF was hilarious, too. The looks he gave when he commented how living in the house was like living in Kathryn's head and when she said she needed to learn to relax had me in stitches. 🙂
Watched it a couple of hours ago.
Loved the house........and Kathryn. He's a lucky lad

Can you ask her about the handrail?
And if we're thinking about our favourite episodes, I think mine might be the one where the bloke rebuilt the almost totally ruined tower/castle (up N somewhere) that included the bit where the builders accidentally let a massive internal wall fall down on camera - very Fred Dibnah.
LImecrete is a more environmentally friendly alternative to concrete.
