    That's like saying take the 70s stuff from the first house and it's average at best. The setting is a major part of the house.

    I think a different style house might fit better in to the setting

    Ah no the 70's stuff was the interior. This is an extraordinary setting but the house is too "disney" for me

    Three "meh" houses.

    2 or three for me based on the fact it has something that very few houses ever have in that riverside location and Church background

    Ughhh - a semi detached house won.

    If you had that 70's kitchen in the 70's you were rich !
    Actually the 'English Rose' kitchen comes from the early 1950s. It was made out of aluminium to use up stocks left over after the war.
    Helen correctly identified it but didn't comment further.

    Just catching up now.

    OMG the first house :eek: You'd want to be on drugs to live there - or if you weren't you'd definitely wind up on them! Cool idea, obviously a huge amount of effort went into creating that - but live in it? No thank you! I'd be in a padded cell within six months.

    I'm halfway through watching the second house. Gorgeous setting (I'm a sucker for water of any kind, so a house perched over a river like that is my idea of heaven). Really gorgeous exterior - I'd be a long time guessing it was a new build. Inside - it's lovely, but the big fella (I cannot get the hang of their names!) was right about all the couches in the bay windows pointing in - shocking waste of views! Dunno how you go about avoiding that - maybe one of those circular "conversation seats" that you see in old hotels in the middle of the room :D Anyway, I wouldn't be keeping my back to those views, that's for sure!

    I'll be interested to see what else they have to say about it. I wouldn't be writing home about the interior, but it's lovely. (not hard after house no. 1!)

    Love love love their duvet cover!

    On the random jibes at the presenters front - would she STOP SAYING WOOOOOWWWWWW! Hers and the big fella's accents are really grating on me - they used to give out about Lorraine Keane and her DORT accent - this pair would leave her in the hal'penny place. And what's ORTHenticity? :confused:

    Right, now I've got that lot off my chest, back to the programme.

    House no. 3. Love the idea of the tower room as a getaway - but oh boy those window seats look mightily uncomfortable :eek: I'd be wanting to install a Lazy Boy in that room. (only joking!)

    Gawd, now I'm the biggest dog-lover in the world - but the preponderence of dogs in that house is just plain OTT.

    Love their bedspread as well!

    Ooof, watching the replay at the end - I'd dock marks off that first house just for the exterior - appalling pastiche stuff that I HATE!

    Gawd, surprised by that low score for house no. 2! And 3!

    Psychedelia won out tonight. Now where did I leave me acid tabs :D

    Right, back to see what everyone else thought.
