In Wye Valley, Rosa and Craig are fulfilling the dream of Grandad Leo, transforming this disused water reservoir into a family home. When prices soar over their budget, it seems an impossible task.

I suspect grandad just planned on using the existing building. Which would have made a generous sized house.

Lovely house and all but it cost way too much (particularly as they clearly couldn't really afford it) and like a lot of Grand Designs which have a deep personal connection to the people who built it , I suspect they'll end up selling it in a few years time.

The word NO comes to mind when the architect designed the house, renovate the old building with the living room, open plan kitchen and porch upstairs, downstairs clear both sides of the building to expose the brickwork, restore and preserve, and constructs two large bedrooms with light flooding in from both sides. This bloke is going to have to throw himself out of planes until his 90 years old to pay this terrible building, the older lady had it right, grandad Leo one side Rosa Carpark outside. All the holidays and excitement of life has been taken away in mortgage repayments, watch the full video, you can see the father of Craig agreeing with his son that it is worth it, knowing what his son has caught himself in, its like building a prison for yourself without doing a crime.

Lets hope spending all of this money with high interest rates is worth it down the line. I doubt it.

A million for that. Unbelievable. The architect was a idiot

This makes me really angry with the architect: they were clearly a couple who just wanted a home to honour their grandfather. They were clear about their budget from the start. The resovior was plenty big enough to have a lovely house. The architect would have known full well this design would be out of their financial ability. And seriously why push them to have concrete and other expensive, unnecessary materials for a normal couple. Especially when they showed the comparison house, it really seemed like it was the architect looking to get an award and pushed a naive couple into mounting debt, not create a cosy home they could enjoy and honour the family with.

The couple didn't have to listen to the architect though, he/she works for them not the other way around,

I find this whole episode a bit disturbing. They got the costing from 3 different builders then Rosa said she would not have built if she had of known it was going to be that expensive. Well she did know and she built anyway. She is a bit of a princess. You certainly don't need the most expensive marble on the planet or a copper bath that costs thousands. Just ridiculous. That young man has visibly aged before our eyes. He is under tremendous pressure. No house is worth selling your soul for. You have to ask yourself, who has to sacrifice the most to pay off that monumental debt? Selling a few sweeties on the internet is not going to cut it, or jumping out of planes.
