grand designs in ED

[HannahSE23]

Kevin McLeod appears to be in ED this week. But where???

[kristyl]

Behind Franklin's.

[HannahSE23]

Thanks it was really bugging me!

[ednewmy]

Indeed. If you google map it you can see the building site.

Wonder if anyone on here knows the couple building the house?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Stroked her whippet in Franklins a couple of times. (Not a euphemism)

[PeckhamRose]

Apart from the roof I LOVE it. Congratulations to them!

[AnMKing]

Amazing building. Not sure it's a home I'd like to live in.

[ednewmy]

Not one of my favourite homes from the show, but impressive nonetheless.

[redjam]

It's the v nice lady I've seen working in the Franklins shop before. House looks amazing. Good for them.

[geh]

love it, congratulations!

[Monkey]

Love it. Well done!

[James Barber]

They had quite a struggle with planning which I was glad to help about a couple of year ago from memory.

[stephen509]

What would you value house at?

[Grainne17]

Do they own franklins?

I commented on both of them then changed my mind. Happy now?

[Seabag]

No, they don't own Franklins

I know Tracey & Steve. They helped me in the establish my business in the early days, by letting me use the yard for free. Both have worked their socks, shoes, feet and about everything else off doing this project.

Good luck to them both, it's been a journey

It looked like Mrs Robinson's had thrown up in a cow shed. In a good way.

I probably wouldn't want to live there, but it's very impressive.

[yeknomyeknom]

Loved the bathroom. Very brave but awesome.

........ I like that analogy, but in my opinion it's in a bad way. Oh so utterly contrived. So very Self conscious. Trying to be different but actually it's the same as everyone else who's 'trying to be different'. Perhaps the key is 'don't try so hard'. Individuality should come naturally. Ewwwych.......

[LondonMix]

The architecture is genuinely unique whether you like it or not.

Some of the interior finishing are not universally unique but they never said they were aiming for that. Some people just like what they like and shop accordingly

No need to sneer at people who have tried to create something. It's not easy and I applaud their bravery.

[Jah Lush]

I totally agree with what LondonMix said.

Why the sneering? The design may not be to your tastes but your tastes don't matter. It's not your house. It's theirs and they worked their socks off to achieve what they wanted. Good luck to them.
