Monty Ravenscroft and Clare Loewe can’t afford to buy a house in London so they’ve decided to build one. They snapped up a dirt cheap slither of land in Peckham at an auction only to be told it was too small to put a house on.

When lawyers Jeremy and Louise Brown walked into Upthorpe Farm they couldn’t believe their eyes. It was like stepping back in time. This 16th century farmhouse had barely been touched for over 400 years.

Hi
I live in Melbourne Australia.
I am an avid watcher of all your shows. I Love them all.
Yesterday I watched the second series of your Winton ‘making people happy ‘programme.
There was a segment that showed a problem with one of the residences in that it had no back door handle so you had to create car parking space at the front of the house. My thoughts were that what if the resident went outside for any reason and used the back door, what if it slammed shut and they couldn’t get back in, especially if there were children inside the house at the time and they were outside and could not get in.
Surely that fault is a health and safety issue and I’m sure would not get passed through Council in Australia.
Regards
Ann
Kensington: Claire needs a cup of cement. Why do people take on a project if they don't have planning permission and/or sufficient funds?
would luv to watch that episode when they build that house out of used tyres. That house was bloody brilliant
watch the movie "Garbage Warrior" its all about these houses... also more detail at : www.earthship.com
loving the show. Tim www.MelbourneHomeBuilding.com.au
missed the Isle of Wight one, would like to see it as I used to live there.
love this show. l live in oz and just love watch people build new home and restore old build back to new agian in beautilful country Uk
I love this show and try to never miss an episode.I drive my kids nuts with it.
I would like to find the details of a round log fire I saw a 2010 episode. The episode where the widowed mother carried on building the house. Her husbands name was Nat.
Saw the Cotswolds episode last night - "uk's first passive home". Aesthetically left me cold. But I am curious about the effect of removing all drafts out of a house, completely. They seal this house to well over 10 times the UK air-leakage standard. It was almost airtight. Great for retaining heat.... but can you go too far? What happens when you cook? -could a gas stove top burn up the oxygen in the house? (dont laugh - unflued's gas heaters do). When does "fresh air" become "drafts"?
there must be zillions of people who rave about this show, but I have to comment on the Ilse of Wight program I saw tonight- wow!!!! I am an Australian and an artist and the home is amazing, what a great outcome. I have watched every show plus lots of repeats and never tire of Kevins great commentary- thank you
i agree completely i would love to see much more
