Grand Designs is such a great show. 95% of the time it’s just rich people pissing their fortune up the wall on vanity projects. But every once in a while you get a little gem like this one.

We owe a debt of gratitude to this young couple and their visionary project in saving this a class ruin. Its uplifting, incredible.

This needs to happen way more. They schedule a building and then we all have to watch it crumble as hardly anybody has the cash. Imagine being able to spend what you'd spend on an average house on this absolutely beautiful home! Amazing.

Kevin Mcloud is an architectural poet and a national treasure. One of the best programmes on television, thank you Channel 4.

This couple have worked miracles. They have actually done the hard graft.

I love this project. I cannot imagine a more perfect answer to this no win project. Grans designs is the best of the best home building shows

I live for these..from when I moved abroad I ve been missing British programs...your uploads keep us going..cheers

That's quite the job. It looks better than I expected

Shockingly unusual but strangely wonderful at the same time. The interior looks very comfortable nevertheless 👍

It’s beautiful! They accomplished the impossible on an impossibly small budget. I would never leave ❤️

God damn what a dream home. Every time i pass a derelict building or ruin here where i live i have the same thoughts and dreams. One day.

'Tiny budget renovates ruins' is what your were TRYING to do there.

Wow, a beautiful home on a beautiful piece of land.

Absolutely creative and respectful. That's a brilliant idea! 😍

Absolutely gorgeous and quite ingenious

Stunning 😍 In the Peak District I often pass buildings like this and have that same romanticism and desire to rebuild. Truly in awe of this place. It’s beautiful. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Heaven on earth! Unbelievable, well done to you both

Stunning! As for the cost I guess a lot of people get carried away with expensive kitchen and stuff. This couple kept it simple and it seems. I love the space in this house.

This is what is achievable when you put hard work into something. Very very well done!

Is the title of this video intentionally click-baity? I can't be the only person who thought that the renovation was going to be ruined by the tiny budget?

The best renovation i've seen on Grand Design. My idea of heaven for location too!

A fabulous renovation and very creative,this young couple are so talented.

love this project & its outcome! My one concern is how they've dealt with the possibility of the mill race flooding in winter/spring months since the house is built so close to it.

Stunning job - well done all! Am mightily relieved that the third word in the title turned out to be a noun rather than the verb I originally thought!!!

Absolutely creative and truely amazing

Great craftsmanship! Superb!

They seem so kind and peaceful.

I would be worried about the river level

Super architecture. Old and new in one house.

What an AMAZING transformation!

Beautiful! Well done.

Brilliant build, but the furnishings look so uncomfortable. But the ruin was saved and improved so that is just amazing.

Me parece una bonita reconstrucción, imaginativa y valiente. 👌 👍 🇪🇸

These projects are fantastic and interesting.

Superb restauration. Great Design. 👍🏾😎

Very beautiful… I’d like to see a similar one where they encased the ruins in a glass structure and live in the ruins as is… made safe of course

Nice result, though the lead flashing looks dreadful

Think the title is a tad misleading

Amazing project, truly inspiring! I wonder how much it would have cost if they had done it all in stone?

wat a fantastic project!

Awesomeness. Wow. Wow... fabulous.

Amazing!

Truely amazing 😀

Bellísimo el resultado

300k my arse !

Its basically a new built house using reclaimed stone from the old buildings Its not really preserved the old building but replaced it

"disneyfied" what a nice word that I will add to my collection

using the term renovation is stretching it a bit. well, a lot.

Amazing job, especially considering the budget. I wonder what it would be if their time was factored in.

Although I like the house I really didn't understand the fact they remade a fake ruin around it as if it had not been demolished, it seemed to make zero conservation sense.

Tiny budget is 300,000 hehe ok.. I guess my idea of a tiny budget is a bit different..

Incredible

Strange title. Not sure if I like this renovation. I have a passion for old ruins, it seems to have disappeared , taking down and putting up perfection is not conservation of a listed building. But they like it and they gave permission for them to do it. So listing it was without purpose if you think about it.

Very ambitious and looks great but one flaw there in Cumbria one of the most wet and damp parts of the country and they've used wood oh well hope they have the money to renovate every 10-20 years

They have achieved something amazing beams should have left alone no paint but it’s a personal choice

A gorgeous build, despite the paint choices. The integration into the site is clouded, though...

From the title "TINY Budget Ruins Renovation" I thought that it was the tiny budget that ruined this renovation :) I thought that was a bit cruel. Amazing project!

Klasa !!

Love it

It's beautiful and I admire their fortitude, but the FLOOD is only a matter of when.

This is an amazing project, very well designed in- and exterior!

absolutely stunning-i can watch these shows for days on

I wish next life i would have a stone n wood home by the water body..

WOW

Nice

I just hope for them they never get a flooding with that stream a few feet away 🥴 nothing for me really, i would keet that stream as far as possible 😬😬😬😬😬

Looks like they both aged 10 years in the process. Must have been a stressful build

Will it flood?

Makes you think

👏👏👏

I wonder how often that river decides to flood their house

why not show the whole building instead of showing one room

Nice, but streams do flood occasionally, just saying.

Title says renovation, i see no renovation

This one is orange and this one is green and...... this is pink (the guy is a genius) and he has eyes and language .....

Just absurd that a long forgotten ruin like that needs permission from the Secy of State to renovate. Beautiful though.

From the title, I thought they messed up the renovation because of 'ruins'. So for the whole video i was expecting something to go wrong

Beautiful!

Freakin inspired

What a weird video title, a type of clickbait I guess - Tiny budget RUINS renovation. Actually - Tiny budget, ruin renovation. Great result by the way.

I looove this but are they not worried about flood risks? Might be a dumb question but hey ho

Can you make your content accessible by putting in closed captioning?

Reminded me of a movie, forgot which one it was, it envisioned a woman getting an escape far from home to meet her lover..

Oh, I see. I thought that thumbnail was a bit cruel about Kevin McCloud...

❤️👍😎

What a mess, makes IKEA look good.

I am confused. How does demolition and a new build with the stones equal renovation? If I demolished my garden shed, but reused the door and hinges, is that renovated? An interesting project, but unfortunately it has destroyed the character of the site. The romantic ruin has been replaced with an over-large structure that dominates the stream in a way that the original buildings never did. No doubt the timber cladding will settle down as it ages, but it will always be shouting "look at me". It looks more like a building that, to misquote Dickens, "crept into the valley as a young warehouse, and couldn't find its way out again". I think that I would have preferred to see the structure slowly decay, eventually leaving a few piles of fern covered stone in a truly magical setting. After all, this project has not really preserved anything but the footprint of the original building, what has been lost is much greater.

Qué horror

How exactly was it "ruined" then? 🤔

Que mal gusto! Perdon, pero era un lugar increible y se podria haber hecho una obra de arte ! Siento que no llegan a incorporarse las ruinas con la nueva construccion ! Y despues no comparto el gusto, pero eso es personal.

I call bullshit on their £300k budget. The glazing alone looks like 50 grand. When Kevin Mcloud says "super-cheap, impossible cheap," you can take that literally.

How rich are these people?

Damn. Those stoneworkers are HOT!!!

A better title would have been: TINY Budget Renovates Ruins

I read this title as they ruined the renovation due to their small budget XD

This episode is too short...

A serious about the uber rich

All the old monuments are taken down, and then build back up with the same stones! how is this preservation? you didn't preserve anything, every sense of history and place is lost. Its like sending your favorite dog to a taxidermist to get an "renovation"

Ruined the entire landscape

It's about time this ancient wreck was renovated but to be honest, I can't see any difference and he sounds just the same.
