    Did anyone see it last night?

    They appeared to spend £1m on a semi detached, poorly constructed, overlooked on many angles house last night.

    Amazing!

    Yes , I saw it. They didn't mention the attached house much did they ... ?:eek:

    They kept showing the wonderful views from the cupola, but the wide shots made it obvious it was packed into a fairly dense housing estate on 3 sides...

    I wonder what the neighbours thought of the restoration?

    Although I love 'restoration' type shows, Restoration Home is pretty much the worst of them - lots of filler (the pair of historians) and Quentin adds nothing beyond saying how wonderful/nice/beautiful the restored house is... give me kevin mcloud or george thingymajig anyday!

    Yep. I felt sorry for hubby - talk about a 'high maintaince' Mrs! :( £1.25m for a Devon semi, and she was already whinging about missing her friends in London! I expect it'll be on the market within 18 months when they seperate.

    Plus for at least 50% of this series, the restorations haven't finished before the final filming. Annoying you're supposed to ooh and ahh over the first-fix! At least Grand Designs let's you see the finished home.

    Well, the only benefit is you don't miss any action from any sports matches you watch if you caught short.

    You haven't been in many care homes, have you? :)

    Looks a bargain at that price, but of course it won't go for that price!;)

    Surely it's £250,000 for the one acre plot, not that bothy? 5 or 6 "executive homes" for peeps working in Falmouth?
