Russell Pinch and Oona Bannon welcome us into their modern country house, fully converted from a former ice-cream factory, nestled in the rolling hills of the Devon countryside. Buried many pages deep on The Modern House’s listings page was a dilapidated ice-cream factory not far from the south Devon coast, with planning permission for conversion into a family home.
“We weren’t in the market for a project,” says Oona . ‘We had already given 10 years of our life to building a house in France.” But, a few days later, they drove down to Devon - ‘just to have a peek.’ What they found, tucked in a valley near Torquay, would have held little promise to most: a cob barn strewn with ivy and some rickety lean-tos. Watch the full episode of ‘Design Notes’ as we tour Russell & Oona’s country house, winner of House & Garden’s Project of the Year, 2024.

That whole property is a dream. It's amazing to see what you can bring to life with a lot of vision. Everything about this home works well together. Those steps to the pasture are something out of a fairytale and that courtyard... c'est magnifique! 👌🏾

So wonderful to see people living in their dream homes - that chair at the 03:44 mark, what a beauty 💖 and the beautiful words of hope, not just for building your dream home but perhaps for life in general, especially when it gets hard: "Building a house from scratch ... it takes incredible belief and it's a journey that you don't know where it's going to end up... The process can actually be quite demanding and it is possible...to lose the joy...The journey might be hard but the sweetener at the end is definitely worth it."

lol the first question i asked myself was.. why do you keep the basket of eggs in the sun? architecturally speaking.. i don't like parallelepiped houses, but the landscape, the garden, the furniture, everything is a dream. the interior design is elegant and warm. i wish you to enjoy what you have achieved together for a long, long time.

Beautiful area! Nice furniture! Some wonderful art decor items! Certainly well lived in. Definitely needed softening with concrete walls and flooring. Cold otherwise. Not enough light. Better lighting at certain time of day. Secluded.

the cinder block isn't my cup of tea- many dorms in America use that for the walls and I am getting flashbacks to tight sweaty rooms from the 80s. However, I have nothing but respect for how the couple paired them down with beautiful wood accents. The subterranean kitchen is just dreamy!

This is a beautiful home , beautiful design and the landscaping is next level! Given many of the events of this challenging world ; it’s hard to imagine just building and leaving it unoccupied so often.

I wonder what this house looks like and feels like in the middle of the winter : no flowers in the garden, perennials down to the ground or showing seed heads, bare trees, grey light and rain… Plus driving 4,5 hours one way each weekend, plus having only a bath no showers, words fail me. It’s not because you can that you should. All in all this house would make sense in California.

Wildly unaffordable, all of it for most of it. I don't know what that property and build cost, all I know is the majority of us couldn't afford it. All that real wood is not cheap. They did a nice job, it's a bit bland there's no interesting decoration, and that has it's appeal as many people are drawn to it as it feels inoffensive and what is the popular word, simple. But if we're talking about functionality the real test is time for many of these decisions. Fir countertops that will age "disgracefully" which translated that it will have to be ripped out, it's tricky business making these decisions.

If you don’t want to see a show about “unaffordable”properties, don’t watch and leave the site. It is not rocket science. HG are not going to showcase the local council house. 🙄
