    I really liked this tour, it was very dynamic, felt almost like a vlog at the beginning, I liked the intro with the info about the area and its history. The funny bits are also well placed and not overwhelming. Well done guys 🎉

    Love this! Saw a tiktok of that other John Pardey house when it was foggy and flooded and it honestly looked magical.

    Sad when they design a house and forget to design a garden to show it off and help it sit in the landscape. That lawn or mown patch moss is a terrible crime against design. Some simple wild flower blocks would have done the job. Definition, contrast, shape, form, structure ... anything but a sick lawn !!! Also... those flat roofs could have been wildflower or sedum infinities ! So many missed opportunities to make it wOw :(

      @Surkon_Estate maybe a shallow dark reflection pool under it so it always looked in flood. That yard had zero thought.

      Actually, the property used to have a really nice lawn, but since the flooding happened they kind of neglected it

    Great tour. I look up most of the places you go to & learn so much about the UK watching your videos. This is a unique property right up my street but my mrs would probably disagree. The rooftops desperately need something like grass / wild flowers or similar, that would be nice in my opinion.

    Nice property. Tom was right about the interiors, a good interior designer could transform it.

    Nice, that's the house that was in Black Mirror, on Netflix!

    I like this home and its thoughtful layout especially since the area is prone to flooding. But I have some questions... what is the guarantee or research that any flood in future would stay below the level of the floor? Why the floors produce cracking sounds? if it is in such an area why it is not grid independent with sufficient solar panels plus other alternate sources of power?

    Wow! This is a very nice area! And a very un-English house design. More Cali, Florida or Auss than Blighty. Nice though.

    Relative to many of the properties you show, this one actually seems worth the price. Now, if only the ceilings were a foot taller!

    Solar panels on the extensive roof seems like a good option. Easy to maintain, too. I like the property but wonder where to put my car if it floods.

    • @CulturedThugPoster
      @CulturedThugPoster ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Property needs solar panels as you say, and maybe a pneumatic car lift for flood emergencies to raise it a few feet.

    This is a PERFECT example that with the RIGHT design, 2500 sq feet in MORE THAN ENOUGH. My house is 2400 sq feet, but it is designed so wonky and such........... Eaaaaaaaaaa

    Lovely house. Just remember to plant your willows miles away from your home as they are very destructive.

    It in this has potential, however also shows if you have money you don’t necessarily have taste. That main bedroom was not good!

    Garden and house look far better floooded to hide the hideous lack of landscaping. Sorry owners but every fab house has a fab landscape or garden. just block plant some textures to mirror the house shapes.

  • @tonyjedioftheforest1364
    @tonyjedioftheforest1364 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you lived there full time where do you put your car when it floods? With our climate change I would expect it to flood more often in the future. The owners need to get someone in to dress the house properly as it looks soulless. I for one would not be interested in buying as it is although I would love to have a river at the bottom of my garden.

  • @MrTattedFit
    @MrTattedFit ปีที่แล้ว

    Saw this house on Grand Designs first and was disappointed with the end result then.. Its basically a bungalow on stilts and for £2.5m!!! Must be paying for location as the bungalow isn't even big

  • @enlilw-l2
    @enlilw-l2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not even centralised ventilation for such a modern house, i don't get it.
    The way it's done is creating thermal bridges and condensation if the fan is off. Absolute nonsense.

  • @jrrodrigues2510
    @jrrodrigues2510 ปีที่แล้ว

    should cost a little less as whoever move in will have to spend few grands to make it look like home
    other than that it looks pretty good

    • @CulturedThugPoster
      @CulturedThugPoster ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I thought the finishing all looks rather tatty, cheap air conditioning units.

  • @andymac900
    @andymac900 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry guys, but no way is that house worth 2.5mill, the interior seems bland and even seems cheap, and the layout is awfully, also if the roof cannot be used for a deck then I should be covered solar panels to give an alternative power source, however they need to be grounded so having them in flood areas isn't possible, also, I wonder if having the home raised helps with the insurance other wise the premiums would be huge. Otherwise it was a great presentation and watching you guys trying to polish this turd was hugely entertaining, (loverly willows, nice soft chairs) glad to.see you back in the 🇬🇧

    Good lawd. Someone was gullible enough to pay for that property that is prone to flooding.
