    Grand Designs is such a great show. 95% of the time it’s just rich people pissing their fortune up the wall on vanity projects. But every once in a while you get a little gem like this one.

      I would say it's more like 60/70% of the project that are over the top. And some are in the middle, a bit of vanity but they also put every bit of money they have in it.

      Seems like listing it probably dropped the price massively when they came to buy it. So if anything, listing it probably actually doomed it even more. As ghe only people that may have bought it other than this couple would have been English heritage or similar, with no one probably committing enough to prevent it falling down further.

    I am confused. How does demolition and a new build with the stones equal renovation? If I demolished my garden shed, but reused the door and hinges, is that renovated?
    An interesting project, but unfortunately it has destroyed the character of the site. The romantic ruin has been replaced with an over-large structure that dominates the stream in a way that the original buildings never did. No doubt the timber cladding will settle down as it ages, but it will always be shouting "look at me". It looks more like a building that, to misquote Dickens, "crept into the valley as a young warehouse, and couldn't find its way out again".
    I think that I would have preferred to see the structure slowly decay, eventually leaving a few piles of fern covered stone in a truly magical setting. After all, this project has not really preserved anything but the footprint of the original building, what has been lost is much greater.
