Being almost anywhere in England offers many potential experiences similar to this so don't give up on England. As a Canadian I can assure you, in my 40s, drawn to England from about age 5, England is 1,000x more amazing than I could have ever dreamed after two trips, both including the North and the South and in summer and winter. England's not perfect of course, but if you liked this video, please understand it's not something made in isolation; it's more the rule than the exception.

One of the best projects I have seen in this program for many years. So well thought through, so well executed and so natural in its blending of house, garden and pond… Brilliant
When I saw just the animations, I thought the house looked soulless and dull. But the end product is amazing! It has warmth, space, and a functionality to it. They will have a great life in this house.
A truly beautiful home. Love this program, love how Kevin presents it too -often not pulling any punches (other builds), and I agree with the other comments - one of the best projects I've seen on GD.
I have not seen another house as breath-taking as this one. The brightest house I have seen, so flooded with light. Glass windows and doors every where. A clean pool-pond, with water lilies. How they came up with this plan is beyond my imagination. A spectacular video. The couple must be having deep pockets, without which no one can accomplish this. Shows that good taste and money can go hand in hand in rare cases. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
This is one of the best home with a complete resort look. V innovative ideas n pond construction is a cherry on top of this cake. God bless u both with health happiness n loooooooooong life
Could afford to build an amazing family home for his kids? Living somewhere a bit grim builds character, now they get to fully enjoy the new house having experienced how lot of less fortunate people are forced to live
In my opinion the best project I've ever seen on Grand Design: The Design, the Light, the space, everything is perfect. This awesome pool. Really great. But how could the house look so clean when you habe little kids? 😃 Some others wrote it here already. And I think the same: That's at least a home, where I want to live, too. Good luck to the owner family and to all of you watching Grand Design. I would like to watch the whole episode, but I can't. Greetings from Germany and please stay healthy
@@danielrowland6628 ...no way...speak of the devil himself 😂 If this is the real you Dan I hope you, Nina, Lexi, Iyla and your sweet dog are doing great, your an inspiration :)
Wow wow wow! Your ideas reward you to live and enjoy it with your wanting to return guests.Your inspiration challenges the rest of your viewers with what we have turning on what we could still have in the end. Even the process and the journey gives us ecxitement.
We are 100% recovered and feeling the benefits of our new home every day as are our children.. didn’t sleep the night before the last day of filming so I look/was particularly knackered
This is the house i would want to live in if i were to win lotto. Its the type of design which lowers your heart rate by 20bpm 5 minutes after you arrive. Just magical
I like the house and see the connection between humans and nature. ANd it is definitely done with a great idea of symbiosis in head. But where is the sustainability in all of it? Is it the nature and the garden what they mean by sustainable home? Or the little recycling of materials? or did I miss some information in the documentary?
Actually it’s very very warm.. into December and we’ve only just turned the heating on on the Ground Floor only.. 100% renewable energy heating mostly generated on site… also passive cooling strategies work brilliantly in the summer. 😀
We are well into December now and we’ve only just turned on the heating on the Ground Floor only. The heat all comes from solar panels and a GSHP on site. All best, Dan
@@danielrowland6628 How 'smart-home' is it? In any case, it is magnificent. One thing I'd change is I would have showe/bidet toilets instead of normal and get one of those new tech lifts to really future proof it. Especially when elderly grandparents etc visit. I never get why so many expensive 2/3 floor homes in the UK have no lifts. New builds should all come prepared for solar panels/ smart home /lifts etc to future proof them.
Such a hard yard to get a home erected that's thermally and passive leave Solar with the wood panels and read it in the recreational swamp that sort of filtrate selfish natural plants while living in an old damp needs demolishing
It's effectively an easement, basically the same as a historical right-of-way. You retain ownership over the land, but there is a public purpose to a part of it.
Stunning home - interiors are a little cheap looking though, sort of wannabe scandi - not quite big enough dimensions for some items to contest with the space
@@danielrowland6628 Don't listen that looney. its one of the most interesting and stunning houses I've ever seen and would love to own it. your dedication and hard work is also nothing short of amazing. I know I'm complete random stranger to u, but seriously well done!! let me know if u ever plan to sell it. lmao
@hugo walking around IKEA would be my hell Every time I get to the top floor and think it’s over another floor would appear to shatter my soul for an eternity.
It's a kitchen where you can't prepare any food because any attempt to use it, with accompanying food containers, utensils, inevitable mess, would so be so jaringly out of place that the whole look, mystique of the house would look "ruined" .
You couldn’t be more wrong, everything is planned for and had its place.. 😃… with our two lovely kids it gets mad messy with fun play and cooking then it tidies away beautifully, and zen resumes… glass half full me..
WOW!!! That's one of the most beautiful houses I've seen on GD. I'd leave Australia and move to England if I could live in it. Flawless.
Cheaper to just build it in Australia

Got serious goose bumps when I saw this - it is the most gorgeous house and garden I think I’ve ever seen!
One of the best projects ever shown on Grand Designs
Kevin always delivers the best TV show on houses and this one is a home we’d all love to have .
A truly beautiful home. Love this program, love how Kevin presents it too -often not pulling any punches (other builds), and I agree with the other comments - one of the best projects I've seen on GD.
Wow! One of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen.
This is one of my favourites, an affordable sustainable built house would always going to win the house of the year over this design
Omg! That’s unreal! Stunningly beautiful and gorgeous, yet peaceful and homely!wow!
I have not seen another house as breath-taking as this one. The brightest house I have seen, so flooded with light. Glass windows and doors every where. A clean pool-pond, with water lilies.

Amazing the imagination and tenacity of these two.
Kevin loves it. I knew he would. How could he not? It's absolutely beautiful.
This is the very pinnacle of Grand Designs! My favourite house 🏡
So far… the very best design, I have seen on GD, absolutely gorgeous! Wow!
Lovely looking house and that garden pool is amazing. I'd love a house and garden like this.
Finally, a grand designs house that I really like.
I love how EXTRA the 3D animator is.
This is one of the best home with a complete resort look. V innovative ideas n pond construction is a cherry on top of this cake. God bless u both with health happiness n loooooooooong life
What a beautiful home. Definitely in my top 3.
One of the most beautiful houses ever
Couldn't afford to fix the heating in the temporary house for his family, but could pop a quick full size tennis court in 🤨
Why would you spend money on a house you’re about to demolish!!!

I would be constantly on edge with little kids and all that water.
Oh GD! This is one of the best homes you've featured! My favorite!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Stunning build. Awesome job
absolutely stunning, especially the pond
love the pool pond...wish i could see koi at the sides...it is very open and bright...so the cosy blue living room upstairs is lovely
Being an Architect, this house is awesome
Thanks so much. Dan

Exquisite and totally dreamy. Reminds me of an Aussie home.
The design is incredible. Congratulations. Love the house.
That is one talented couple !!! House is the nicest I’ve ever seen and I don’t like modern 😂😂 perfect house and home !! ⭐️👍🏻👍🏻

Great taste and design. One of the best I've seen.
I can see the results of this masterpiece on this exhausted couple

@@danielrowland6628 glad to hear!! Your hard work really payed off P.S. you two looked really beautiful before and after 😊
@@danielrowland6628 So, So beautiful! Quick question, do you heat your pond at all or just everyting natural, excluding the filtration?
Incroyable la 3D. La maison, tout ce va avec elle, magnifique.
Im watching this show for ages. It always fascinates me.
I've been here. It is drop dead gorgeous.
Well done you two 😂😂
He built the house & she made a light fitting & couldn't put the girls to bed without him .
So beautiful it makes me cry! Thank you for sharing!💗
Absolutely beautiful home
Love it . Especially that puddle out the back
😂😂😂 Thanks so much. Dan

Amazing. I really don’t get fazed but stuff like this but all I can say is wow beautiful home.
Super stunning house. The best yet!
Unbelievable so well done!
It's beautiful and tastefully executed
simply amazing!
Delightful house!!
At last a building that actually looks like a home you would like to live in.
A building that looks like the last home I would like to live in.
@@haweater1555 this is the last home you'd live in, really?
audibly said "WOW" when I saw the transformation
Fantastic,love this guys style.
This is the best one I've seen!!!
You can see why it took almost a decade to put together, what a result. But I cannot imagine what it must have cost; millions.

Best house ever on GD
My god, this house was perfect!
Великолепный проект, браво!
Fantastic build guys.....congrats!!
Ah thanks so much, much appreciated. Dan and Nina
Freezing in the winter
Actually it’s very very warm.. into December and we’ve only just turned the heating on on the Ground Floor only.. 100% renewable energy heating mostly generated on site… also passive cooling strategies work brilliantly in the summer. 😀
I love it too. Thanks 🙏
I know this is the short version but I can't watch this without wondering what it takes to heat it

Amazing!
Congratulations
WOW one of best EVER
How much was the total cost, please?
I watched the episode, the land cost £800.000 and the build a total of £698.000 so basically 1.5 million
Beautiful..
Why do I think, how much did it cost? It's brilliant!
Why did you stop airing this through BBC lifestyle we especially me, was very exited to watch it
WOW!
Wow!!
I haven't seen whole episode. What was full cost?
It’s turned out nice, but every time it rains I’d be petrified of flooding.
You can hire this place and stay in it now I've seen somewhere
No words for description
Which episode is this?
Jaw dropping
Wait so anybody can enter from the back of the house ?
They didn't need the pond on their site in the first place if they planned to build one. That's what's confusing.
What are you trying to say?
Sorry but all I could think was.... Omg energy bills.. Its beautiful though
I preferred the exterior of the original property.
Dilo tse botse 👌🏿
Grand.
Ah, this is the one on air BnB that costs a fortune to hire. What's the point of building such a place to then rent it out?
pool is not kid safe.
So confusing; local water drainage retention in here isn't municipal but free for people to appropriate land?.
It's effectively an easement, basically the same as a historical right-of-way. You retain ownership over the land, but there is a public purpose to a part of it.
@@aaronleverton4221 Oh no; who benefits from that, the rich or the poor?; corporations, the public or citizens?.
@@duvine3882 The public ergo the citizens because the easement is for public reasons.
@@aaronleverton4221 So... there isn't a problem, cool!.
Stunning home - interiors are a little cheap looking though, sort of wannabe scandi - not quite big enough dimensions for some items to contest with the space
What rubbish are u talking about lmao
Well we did have a limited budget.. would love to have seen you do better 😂

God you are so jealous it’s hilarious
Lost interest after the stupid tennis court how stupid at that time of the build ..do love the outdoor area though..
Unbelievable
Call it a house, not home. Home is what the owners do with it. You don't get to deal with that.
It’s certainly a lovely home to live in now with our kids.. They/we love it
I think the interior needs work seems plain and cookie cutter modern furniture really lets the creativity of the architecture down
@hugo walking around IKEA would be my hell Every time I get to the top floor and think it’s over another floor would appear to shatter my soul for an eternity.
Do you really need to live in a house this big?
If he's in a position to afford it , absolutely yes .
Don't hate because you're poor .
No need to watch the episode now…
It's a kitchen where you can't prepare any food because any attempt to use it, with accompanying food containers, utensils, inevitable mess, would so be so jaringly out of place that the whole look, mystique of the house would look "ruined" .
You couldn’t be more wrong, everything is planned for and had its place.. 😃… with our two lovely kids it gets mad messy with fun play and cooking then it tidies away beautifully, and zen resumes… glass half full me..
He's aged so much!
Didn’t sleep the night of the final filming so looked knackered… all recovered now.. you get younger living in a place like this… cheer up you 😃
Typical trendy design. Exceedingly ugly exterior.
Ugly.
Less is more.
1st
Absolutely brilliant 👏
