Season 14 Episode Guide

Episode 1 - Gloucestershire

Kevin McCloud follows plumber Jon Martin and ceramicist Noreen Jaafar as they transform a neglected half-acre site in Gloucestershire. However, they are unable to cut down the 27 protected trees on the plot, so their solution is to build a big modern treehouse with stilts screwed into the earth, and balconies that will have views for miles.

  

Episode 2 - Horsham

Kevin McCloud follows Matt and Sophie White from Sussex as they build a giant family house of fun for themselves and their children. Going against the norm of designing a serious and practical home, the couple's property features a revolving bookcase door, secret dens, hiding places, one-way mirrors, and a fireman's pole. Matt uses a steel frame system to allow them to change the layout of the property, and other changes include amending the window shapes and sizes, and adding a half floor to create a James Bond room.

  

Episode 3 - South Cornwall

Kevin McCloud meets Tom and Danielle Raffield, whose lifelong passion has been steam-bending wood. They've used the technique to create extraordinary furniture and lighting, but now plan to use it on a larger scale. In an attempt to escape the confines of their tiny gamekeeper's lodge, they have decided to build a wavy wooden house in South Cornwall, completed with curved cladding, twisted furniture, and interior walls covered with weathered timber. With a £100,000 budget, the pair have decided to do a lot of the building themselves, and Kevin is on hand to discover whether they're up to the challenge.

  

Episode 4 - Essex

Kevin McCloud meets Michelle Parsons, an artist and teacher who decided to seize the day and build her own private hideaway in a woodland environment in Essex, after she recovered from a serious illness. Together with her architect husband David, Michelle planned to construct a sleek, black-clad, three bedroom house, complete with an art studio. However, torrential rain and a potentially disastrous gas leak stalled progress on the build, and as construction gets under way, Kevin wonders whether the couple's decision to eliminate windows on two sides of the property may leave them living in a gloomy bunker.

  

Episode 5 - Bolton

Bolton-based bricklayer Paul Rimmer, who has spent his career restoring and renovating Victorian terrace houses, sets his sights on constructing a state-of-the-art home on a budget of £350,000. However, instead of using the construction materials he has spent the past 40 years mastering, he has opted to build his new home from wood. Roping in his wife Carol, daughter Abby, and a selection of favoured workmates, Paul and his team begin work on the ultra-modern, five bedroom build, and Kevin McCloud reveals how extreme weather, exhaustion, and rapidly dwindling funds place the entire project in jeopardy.

  

Episode 6 - Pembrokeshire

Simon and Jasmine Dale take on the challenging task of building a 21st-century low-impact three bedroom family home, with a budget of only £500'000. As part of a pioneering government-backed sustainable village called Lammas, the couple must adhere to their fierce planning conditions of self-sufficiency, or risk losing everything.

  

Episode 7 - Honiton

If you want to make life tricky, try building a new house with a huge, complex curvy roof. If you live in the countryside you could even make it the shape of a plough. And if that’s not challenge enough, why not build a barn at the same time. That’s exactly what Mark and Candida Diacono and their daughter Nell are doing on their 17 acre smallholding in Devon.

  

Episode 8 - Wirral

Stuart and Rosie Treasurer from the Wirral plan to transform a small bungalow from a 1960's dormer, into a slick piece of 21st-century architecture. The couple decapitate the building, and balance a new floating timber box on top to create five bedrooms, spending as little as possible on plumbing, electrical, and insulation. But stress levels spiral when neighbours grumble at the ultra-modern creation.
