And the real success story is that they are still together.
One might imagine that such an experience would cement their relationship beyond ever parting. Rare, eh ?

Yes, a home truly is
I really admire this couple for staying with it. Most people these days would give up, or decide they'll lose money on the project, but in their case, the project has been their life, and how much more enriched are they because of it.
How wonderful to find your “forever home” location, 25 years before retirement age and spend the next 25 years never ever becoming bored and ending up with a beautiful and extremely valuable home. For me, that beats blowing £10k every year taking the family to Orlando and just having a box of photos to show for it, but that’s just me I guess…I bless this family.
I remember watching this all those years ago (in Australia) and feeling their pain - we've been renovating for 30 years almost (four different houses, but the combined size of those four houses probably add up to Sue and Martin's house). Amazing effort. But, time has certainly stood still for Martin - he looks exactly the same!
I have met Kevin and I’m very envious of the opportunities he has had doing these programmes to see first hand the realisations of peoples own personal visions. It demonstrates the very best of human endeavour.
Possibly the best build GD has ever been involved with. Must be complete life fulfillment, very envious
What gets me everytime, is that these people see the finished product before building has even started, we see a decrepit tumbledown barn, they see a magnificent home. 10/10 for the grand design team for their hardworking over the years. Rarely watch TV these days but will happily binge watch G.D. over and over again.
Grand designs aren't a team of builders, it's one man who films other people's builds. They don't do any work. You're congratulating the wrong people lol
@@SEA-dv5kh - given the person you're replying to does 'binge watch' them 'over and over again', I figure they may know that, and that you might have misinterpreted their response. Just sayin'.
The hardworking previously mentioned, is the time and dedication to the project that the production
company put into the editing final transmission of the series. e.g. continuity and Time lapsed editing and so forth. The one man you mentioned is only the presenter, he has a whole team behind him, from project selection, to logistics, film crew, editors, producers etc... this team bring us other peoples vision to the small screen and ultimately to us the viewers. I think you'll find the congratulations were in the right place and for the right people all along. Just saying...
@@SEA-dv5kh
Ye that’s not my experience.
The GD team painted the inside of my house Lilac after I very Firmly told them not to paint anything other than pure brilliant white.
Putting up walls that I later had to remove because they were in the wrong place.
Just really really annoying.
This is a lovely home. You can see the value of it evolving organically.
My mum loved Kevin McCloud and his grand designs. I haven't been able to watch his programmes since she died but this one made myself My mum would have loved to see it
I watch Grand Designs from first episode. I like to see how changed People through the years and of course how changed Kevin, and what never changed... passion of builders.
Absolutely beautiful!
I'm so thrilled, for this lovely couple and hope that they continue to enjoy their beautiful home
Say 'barakAllah'... it's important when one sees something that delights the eyes, to say 'barakAllah'
@@dayax3335 shh
PLEASE, 20 years in 4 minutes? Please show us more. The before n now? Cheers. Congratulations. Lovely home.
Simply beautiful. I love that they stayed together all those years. Clearly they in some part enjoyed the journey, and the house shows it. I much prefer these kinds of projects than the super swanky ones.
The interior spaces are so simple and magnificently done. Brilliant work by the owners.
Beautiful ...good for them ...done a wonderful job ...
Amazing! Incredible! Well done to this courageous and brave couple. The vision, anything is possible 👋
Stunning. Exudes warmth and love.
It might need to, looking at the size of those rooms!
Glad to see it finished!
Beautiful.
I remember watching this episode. The caravan scrapeing along the wall in the lane. I put my hands up to my face watching that then and again now.
Beautiful.
A gorgeous house and a wonderful HOME!
Family & life goals.
Such a beautiful home. And it looks like the next generation is living there now too?
I think it is a great home and I am glad they stuck with it, they deserve it!
Absolutely stunning. Great to see that.
What an incredible achievement! Congratulations.
Kevin, me encantan tus reportajes de Grandes Diseños. Thanks a lot 😊

Great story of life. 💕🤩
Incredible ... well done
So beautiful and special by spiritual people and their inner visions.
beautiful
A stunning final result. Proof that even sketchy dreams can eventually come true.
That's splendid. Job well done 👍👍 Magnificent home. I hope it stands for hundreds of years and in the family 🙏
That was amazing to watch, well done to everyone involved it was heart warming to watch.
Wow!
Stunning home!
Rest in peace Sue. ❤
Loving the tenacity.
Great!
Hats off! Well done that's something not everyone would even have the determination to complete.
MAGNIFICENT!!! I remember watching that episode all those years ago too!
Bloody brilliant and just Gorgeous. Thanks for sharing❤👍
2 decades that's commitment
Brilliant I remember the original episode going to air all those years ago . Simply brilliant
Brilliant. *** Well done. Add your own superlatives, can't do expletives of course. Hats off to you, thoroughly deserved and thanks for sharing with us all.
I've known families that lived in their garage while they rebuilt their home. When I was a kid my parents and 4 of us kids lived in a tiny house while my dad built a foundation, added a couple of bedrooms and a bathroom, rebuilt the plumbing system, put a poured floor in the garage and added a bathroom and room to the back of the garage, put in a septic tank system, rebuilt the electrical system, heating system. Yeah, people do remarkable things without fanfare . . . all the time.
Would looove to live there! Beautiful...😍
Well done you two it looks lovely. A big thumbs up from me 👍
What a amazing work
époustouflant ¡
Amazingly good looking 🥰
Love the vision and belief
Magnificent.. just epic.
absolutely gorjus! 😍😍😍
Respect!
20 years to build a home - I don't think I could handle it
Wonderful
Wow, meditating DID work :D
Yes the house is Divine ✨️
Wonderful place.
Patience
Persistence
Perseverance
Perfection
Amazing!
I watched the whole show on Channel 4's website. No mention of where these two got the money or their backgrounds other than the man was a freelance writer. Not much money in that. Still I was impressed with their tenacity. All those months of mud would have done me in.
😻
When Kevin McCloud walks into a room and says: "Yes." That is a full win.
That imo is nicer than that $10 mil mansion that poor man built on the saddest build episode
Seriously though, how can bricks and mortar be an "everchanging expression of who they are?" Such architectural b-s.
We all need a home, and some of us take more pride in it than others, some spend 20 years to build it, some spend 40 years to pay it off. We have been duped when we believe that home ownership is a reflection of us, that somehow a shelter now becomes life's main focus. It's like living to eat rather than eating to live. A home has a function, but it is not the destination.
Where is the rest??
Not too shabby! 😀
I have my own designs for my forever home, although not so 'grand'!
It's just a pipe-dream, as planners would never approve of my entirely temporary structure, specifically aimed at lasting only as long as it's inhabitant, me, & then gifting the land back to nature, just as I will be when I expire.
In Ghana, if you build an adobe house, you don't need planning permission and can basically build whatever you want. You see many houses left to the elements, and nature is reclaiming the land after the owners have passed on.
Next time you see Africans living in mud huts, consider the fact that the mud, wood, and thatch were free and will return to the earth, which is the most ecological way to build a house.
Come to Africa and build your dream house.

My dream isn't in another country
bueno bueno
Amazing , where did the years go
a dream
Nemám v plánu někde nechat dvacet let svýho života :D :D :D
Vy by jste tam nemakali ani tejden :D
Klobouk dolů před každým, kdo chce chcípnout u renovace starýho baráku...
Those poor kids, living on a building site for 20 years!
and they built it themselves
I can understand wanting the visual surfaces to look authentic and true to the original building methods and materials BUT...
Especially on load bearing walls and other strategic areas (like the underpinning work done to the rather compromised walls) building those using conventional, durable, strong and easy to build modern materials and cladding them using cobb, lime mortar and stone and all the rest would have saved a lot of time, money and effort and created a building that would have been more durable in the long run.
Using "moderns" to rebuild the large portions of the structure that to be honest had not stood the test of time seems to me to be the only rational and logical approach.
As it is, this building will be just as "compromised" in 200 years as it was before this renovation started and at that point it will become a fallen down ruin of a relic of the past.
But to each his own I suppose...
Is this lady Hugh Laurie's sister?
haha I was thinking the same. 😂
I was thinking that too!
Don’t understand the desire for a large home and all the work it requires. Small and simple makes more sense, then life isn’t so much about a house.
A heating nightmare with all of those huge windows , high ceilings and skylights .
RHUBARB PIE....i am lying in bed and hungry,and you end with that.
nice but was it really worth 20 years of your life?
It's not like they only did that one thing. They lived too and raised kids and have grandkids now. Plus they built their marriage too with the help of a common goal. What else could you labor in for 20 years and have something so beautiful to show for it?
@@jasonvanbreda4749 or maybe they could have just spent a lot less money, bought a beautiful home and spent far more time raising their kids and enjoying life. But hey, at least they got on Grand Designs and can brag to their friends about how wonderful their home is (if they still have any).
Such a beautiful home but a shame that it won't be suitable for them as they get older with all those stairs.
🥲
oh no, TWO DECADES??!! what a pair of numptys!
It's unfortunate that this otherwise excellent show did so much to popularise burning wood, when much cleaner heat sources have long been available. The pollution and particulate matter released by burning wood - full of toxins and carcinogens proven to impact health and cause disease - are now polluting the air of our towns, cities, homes and gardens. E.g. that 'nostalgic' and 'sweet' smell from wood smoke is benzene, a carcinogen. Only 8% of UK homes burn wood (almost all of those homes are middle or higher income homes on-grid and/or with a cleaner fuel source - leccy, gas and even oil are all much cleaner), yet this is now the biggest source of harmful particulate matter (soot) - more than traffic. We've sleep walked into a serious air pollution problem. Smoke harms and kills, it always has. Please don't burn wood if you have a cleaner alternative.
Beautiful woodwork beams are amazing! Bit I seen condensation of water on windows and lack of central heating... So thanks but no thanks. I lake to be comfortable and warm at home
Think you need to go to Specsavers!. No condensation on the windows (just reflection) and very clearly central heating!
No central heating in my stone house but it’s beautifully warm inside in winter and cool in summer. You need to broaden your horizons.
Imagine wasting your life on a building. Just a huge waste of energy and life.
My thinking too. It’s a fine house but what was the opportunity cosy? Maybe they really enjoyed the experience - I hope so because in life you need to enjoy those passing years, not just focus on an end result.
@@tian5639 👍
What happened to their children? Did they become heroin addicts after living in a building site for their entire childhood?
3:50
No, they're sitting at the family table, you fool.
The poor lady aged like milk. I hope they really enjoy the house.
I think she looks more energetic now, she is radiating happiness. And who wouldn`t feel happy in such a beautiful home in this beautiful countryside.
It is TWENTY years later
@@lizziejohnson5084 But she's aged 40 years.
Let's have a look at you to see how you're going, whilst probably achieving far less.
@@johnmclachlan1023 It was an amazing achievement but it has visibly taken it's toll. I wonder why people put themselves through this? I find that part intriguing. I mean why not just a normal house and you'd hopefully have saved more cash and time to enjoy life especially with a family.
Lovely home. 😍
Great and sustained effort - over hardships and time. 👍
But they clearly had way more money than I've ever even dreamed of.... REALITY.

Wow!
absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful
