Hi everyone, hope you enjoy this tour! We really enjoyed exploring this property and wanted to make it feel like you were there with us. We only had a quick look around before filming. Please contact the selling agent (details in description) if you require any more info! Let us know in the comments what you think to this property :)
I love the way they say no one will build by it as it is in a conservation area. How did they get to build that monstrosity in the first place. I live by it and it is a complete eyesore.
I agree! It's an absolute monstrosity! No idea what solihull council were trying to achieve apart from annoying us residents of Knowle! Looks like an office, no soul, and a blot on an otherwise beautiful area! Very upset this has been built. 😠
I think as a design piece it functions well but part of the cost comes with the design and architect. It works as a design but the lack of landscape and usability/flexibility of livable space probably not. I don't we should critics it just bc its not the same as everything else around it...its not meant to be. I'd be interested to know what restrictions its has on the planning permission.
Yeh obvs the fields been destroyed by machinery when building the mansion. I reckon the vid would of done the mansion more justice if they filmed this property a couple years down the line. So it was furnished inside and some sort of garden could be outside
I like this house. I would fill the inside with large green houseplants. Landscape the outside with a pond, orchard and woodland areas. What a joy to be able to do all that on a blank canvas.
Somebody said in one of the threads that they are not allowed to landscape the surrounding land as part of the planning permission. This is because it's in a conservation area. Basically you get to live in a field.
I like a high ceiling but those are too high in my opinion. All the heat will rise to above head height surely. Also it looks sunny outside but quite dark in most of the rooms..
My thoughts, too. Not sure how shipping containers fit into the idea of "in harmony with its surroundings". I guess it's pretty invisible but very odd. No landscaping so my guess is they ran out of money or it's not worth completing an architects vanity project. Watching it progress I'm thinking any criminal who has retained their ill gotten gains would love it as the window bars are a wonderful reminder of a prison cell. What nutter is going to buy this?
I agree when they said house i was thinking weres the house , ive seen better looking shipping containers , and landscaping would not improve the look of this .
Banality trying to pass as style, promoted by low brow students who were taught by professors promoting Kitsch Moderne. It's a set for an absurd remake of the Avengers. Sports cars driving through while being shot at from the neighbors.
Those cottage style houses you can just see through the living room window were only recently built, and the owners all paid a fortune for them. Only for this monstrosity to then pop up and take away the beautiful views they’d expected to have. Felt so sorry for them as I watched it go up. It’s been for sale for over 2 years now - guess no-one wants to pay £3.5m for something that has all the visual appeal of a warehouse after all... 💁♀️
Completely agree. It's an absolute eyesore to drive past let alone live next to. Very surprised the local planning authority gave this consent. What's to stop neighbouring land owners going ahead and building more outrageous shipping containers! The same planning authority that took years to approve the horrid shopping precinct in Dorridge.
@@brigelli Dorridge looks way better now that the precinct has been built, did you not see it before? Look at the state of Knowle shopping area, that needs some immediate attention.
Many of the comments mention that it is not a family home, However, I see a couple who respect their privacy and don’t have any children enjoying the peace and space of this home. I think it is well designed inside and beautiful interior. The designer has took a twist from the exterior and shown us the true beauty of “Never judge a book by it’s cover” :) x
I live near it and its disgusting it blocks a few cottages which were expensive and had nice views until this came. There are rumours that there was bribery in the planning permission
I agree. You would need a few million to landscape to make habitable. Even then you would have to have a maintenance contract just to keep the place clean. What a sink hole for money.
the way some of the rooms have been laid out baffles me, ruining the 2nd largest bedroom by putting a sauna in it? and having 2 bathrooms right next to 1 bedroom?
True 🤣 I was confused. But once you step into the front area and enter the home it breathe taking. But it needs an amazing landscape to pull it all together ASAP! 😂 Because no one will but it if their not a creative minded individual.
Someone said that, as part of the planning permission, they are not allowed to landscape it. Because it's a conservation area you get to live in a field.
It really is an interesting house, but it feels closed in somehow. Like the slits for windows makes it feel like a jail. Maybe if I was actually inside it would feel different.
This home is definitely different in terms of contemporary design. The glass on the second floor could be dangerous and possibly the designer did not consider this in his or her imprint. What looks good on paper is not always practical and safe.
I agree, each time you walked somewhere the effect would be.. On, off, on, off... It would be a nightmare for epilepsy sufferers, or people with migraine. It looks like it also puts a permanent stripe across the TV screen. I can't imagine how dark it is on a dull day.
@@HilaryB. I was thinking the same! I suffer migraine and those windows in the kitchen need to be frosted then the light would be diffuse and it would be much better IMHO. on the plans it looks like the walls can be closed off between the kitchen and living dining area as well.
@@TheGoodbyeGirl I just think it's a badly designed house all round tbh, the laundry room near the entrance means you'd have to walk the entire length of the house to put your washing away. Those indoor gardens would block out more light, once planted, in an already dark house and, surely the point of a garden is that it's outside, in the fresh air? The lay out is confusing, the presenters couldn't work out where they were some of the time, the bedrooms didn't appear to have any doors, just a zigzag entrance. I could go on, but mostly I just find it cold, characterless and not somewhere I'd want to live I'm afraid.
@@HilaryB. I dont mind the walk, gotta get those steps in lol, the video was not great because it was so bright outside and they had no lights on except some spots in the kitchen which was too dark, I believe that the garden is outside as the outside "wall" is open and not glazed, a Japanese style zen garden would work with a statement tree (cherry) it certainly needs softening with rugs, colour on the walls, plants and giant comfy sofas and chairs. They did not show it to its advantage.
@@TheGoodbyeGirl you have to think long term though, that walk might wear a bit thin after a few months, the laundry room needs to be central really. The indoor garden is indeed closed in, built behind the outer windows, and enclosed behind sliding windows on the inside, perhaps you were thinking of something else. Also I think they had to film it on a bright day, on a dull one we'd hardly be able to see anything. There are other issues with it that I can't be bothered to point out, but sorry, I hate it and would never live in it, each to their own!
Summer: I'd put a big plant in here Matt: what, like a tree 😂 Summer was on the nose with her thoughts on the principle bedroom dressing and sleeping areas and the suggestion of a gym was really good, makes way more sense than as a bedroom, there are parts of the house I like, and things that just don't make sense, the bath in the bedroom, the "almost" jack and jill style bathroom in the middle...random. I like the space and the airyness of it but i'm very much a traditional kinda guy, love my original fireplaces, cornice, ceiling roses and dado rails. Great video guys 👍🏾
Matt & Summer. Probably the most interesting property you have ever featured. Incredible. An obvious Architect's house. Eco, incredible build quality, those full height doors Fisher & Paykel is Australian company. [i think] Incredible quality. Not for everyone but will be an iconic building for years to come. Imagine living there in summer. Stay safe.
Fisher & Paykel are a New Zealand 🇳🇿 manufacturing company for high end quality white goods globally ( just to help others the pronunciation is Fisher & Pie-kel )
For that price I'd demand landscaping and interior furnishing. Elegant design, but the dark kitchen doesn't work well at all and the staircase is too basic. £3.5mil is too much!
Hence why it’s never going to sell for anywhere near that price. It’s a giant box with lots of awkward rooms, terrible natural light and sat in the middle of a boggy old farm. I thought it was office space when I first drove passed
I love the way you guys film the videos. So authentic. Just feels as though we’re exploring the house with two of our close friends. I love how you guys discuss your thoughts and opinions as well, like we’re just having a friendly chat with you. Great job guys! Keep up the hard work ❤️
I live in solihull and drive past this monstrosity regularly. People with £3.5 million arnt stupid enough to waste it on that. Will be interesting to see how long its on the market for and how much it eventually sells for
I don't know why but the house exterior and layout like the windows reminds me of a high school and there's so much unused land around the home but its overall nice design, I love the kitchen and use of hidden storage. Great video!
Oh wow! I’ve never seen a house like this before ZB the design is crazy! And well worth the money! It’s beautiful and wouldn’t mind the location! Well done keep up the work and stay safe! I can’t wait for the updates for the underground house 🏡 try hoddesdon / Hertfordshire xxxx
I live in knowle and this has been widely derided as a planning back-handed, some call it B&Q knowle. Inside is bit better but office like or bland hotel. Would need a fortune to make it homely, not to mention the garden. The road overlooks the main entrance so not very private either. Obvious why this has never sold.
‘Interesting’ is definitely the word. Not homely or cosy enough for me. You’re right that the heating would need to be on high constantly to keep the house warm. I feel odd even calling it a ‘house’ 😅 My initial reaction on seeing the inside was that it doesn’t match the setting at all. Using the given area of land I would have tried to compliment the beautiful surroundings and matched the interior to the exterior. Gorgeous red brick and natural and wood...yes please. Black and white, cold, ‘hard’ furnishings....no thanks! Definitely a video worth watching though!
Hi Matt and Summer i hope all well and safe:), great video guys as always. Being a designer myself what made me concerned was the ventilation and windows not opening. If i had my way the property in all glass and openings for fresh air would be awesome and concrete outside less maintenance.Looking forward to your next venture, :))
Wow! Such an interesting design. I’m not sure I’d want to live there though. It looks like a shipping container from the outside. 😂 But kudos to the architect for designing something so unique 👏🏼
Not sure I like this house but very interesting to see it. This channel is excellent. I enjoy the mix of properties that you guys show, from very unusual ones like this to more 'ordinary' ones. Great content!
Personally I like the aspect and idea of this house, although I wouldn’t be too sure on the practicality of it, but it’s still stunning! I’d love to see some tours in Somerset and Wiltshire areas😁
Looks like a home for ancient giants!!😅 I think they might end up making it a getaway home but that's if the surrounding area can give a wonderland adventure vibe than a desert vibe. Worse case an office space not sure it's for permanent living tbh.The surrounding exterior with no trees 🌲 I agree with the giant Christmas tree to swallow up space.
Lovely bright house. It’s not just the interior design that’s needed. A couple of deer hounds lounging on a rug in the sunshine would add some life. Though you could house ALL the dalmatians!
The surrounding land is just screaming to have a swimming pool, tennis/basketball courts on it!! I’m surprised a huge property like this doesn’t have a cinema room or something - considering it’s huge size! I love the interior because I am definitely a modern interior kinda person but would definitely prefer a more homely feel and less glass...can’t help but think all of That open glass during the night would be so scary to look into the fields lol!
Nice house, good price, lots of space inside & out, you could buy this house as a investment & rent it out time to time to the movie industry, events, weddings
I do love the wood and brick building method, it also utilises the glass panels really well, I just feel that it’s way too big. It would probably take on a whole different persona when furnished though. Take care and stay safe.
For future reference, it’s a... patio sliding door, two main types, sliding door (short small handle) or lift and slide (long large handle). Bifolding doors... fold. 2 main types, bifolding or fold and slide.
I'm not usually in to really modern homes but i actually really like this property 👌 It looks slightly like a barn conversion and i loved how light and bright it is. My only issue was that it is quite office like and was making me think that schools could be built like this in the future 🤣 really good tour guys! Well done! xx
It's an extraordinary looking building. First observations are the shaft of light that goes straight over the end of your massive TV, and so much black! My wife would hate all the black fittings everywhere. For a house that should be about light all the kitchens and living space contains massive black units. I do like the massive walk-in showers. I've not seen any showers that big since my last visit to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Do love those. The building however looks more like an office build and its set in 6.5 acres of landscape from a Mad Max movie. it would take so much money and effort to make all that landscape look different from the wasteland it looks like now. Interesting building but would I pay £3.5m? probably not. It's an interesting video guys so thanks for sharing.
Very interesting house, and specific needs but for £3.5m... If it was circa £1m you may think OK I'll take a punt and renovate the entire house but who in their right mind is going to pay anywhere near the asking price. We love your videos by the way. Please come to Doncaster 👍
Incredible house, I though I'd hate it but it was truly incredible a unique contemporary design the works. Bricks, wood, white, matte black, marble black that's not too busy? Plenty of light with no windows? Genius. ( I'm so glad to see you are both well, I apologize for being a busy body I was just worried) P.S. I had to change to middle name which probably won't be a duplicate )
I really love this house, if it was furnished right it would be spectacular! This is my fave house you've toured and it's completely different to anything else and the zipline idea is all too tempting

87.6k subs congrats
Thanks for doing solihull
Wwwwe we
This isn't the way to try to sell a property. What a load of absolute nonsense.
for 3.5 m, they didn't even bother with the surrounding grass or garden LOL
That was my first thought!
So true would have been nice to have trees at least and plants to fit the eco-vibe being portrayed.
I don’t think they’re done yet. Remember the door in one of the bedrooms they said the developer is still working on them.
2016 for sale for only 460 000£
I think it’s as it’s a conservation area not much they can do
Don’t like the house but liked summer’s demonstration of how you could sit at the kitchen breakfast bar!
The demo of using a bath for hide and seek was good too!
Where’s your 3.5 mill house 😂 I wouldn’t complain
@@motopez9840 for that amount, you could get something 10x better
I love the way they say no one will build by it as it is in a conservation area. How did they get to build that monstrosity in the first place. I live by it and it is a complete eyesore.

i love the way they've landscaped the garden to look like a barren wasteland, that's 3.5mill landscaping there
😂
Yeh obvs the fields been destroyed by machinery when building the mansion. I reckon the vid would of done the mansion more justice if they filmed this property a couple years down the line. So it was furnished inside and some sort of garden could be outside
It looks like a gigantic shipping container 😂
Tbh, I have never felt the need to pay 3.5m to live in a giant shipping container 😂 Thanks for touring it guys! It's certainly interesting.
😂
I like this house. I would fill the inside with large green houseplants. Landscape the outside with a pond, orchard and woodland areas. What a joy to be able to do all that on a blank canvas.
I wasn’t very fond of the property until you made that point. That would be a really good use of the space. Ideal house for a horticulturist lol
@AlisonWigglesworth Ikr, I totally agree :)
Somebody said in one of the threads that they are not allowed to landscape the surrounding land as part of the planning permission. This is because it's in a conservation area. Basically you get to live in a field.
That's the weirdest house I have ever seen, it doesnt have a homely vibe. Not my cup of tea, but thanks for sharing x
The exterior reminds me of a shipping container
@@75maxdv35 yes! It really does 🤣😂
It's been on the market for years, noone wants to live in it. Its soulless
@@traviejohnson8229 it is, I think they are best of bulldozing it and starting again 😬
I designed a house like that on Minecraft.
samee
😂😂
@@Ginger30161 OMGGG I DO THAT ALL THE TIMEEE
Same! It was exactly this shape 😂
Lol for fucks sake
I like a high ceiling but those are too high in my opinion. All the heat will rise to above head height surely. Also it looks sunny outside but quite dark in most of the rooms..
This isn’t a house to live in. It’s a museum or a show room for art. The kitchen could be a cafeteria area. Not for me.
Blah blah blah who cares
@@anthonyrowe6101 If I was a resident of that conservation area I'd care.
@@Treviscoe congratulations you win
@@anthonyrowe6101 It's not a competition, we're just expressing our opinion about that house. Some people like it, some don't.
@@Treviscoe please stop bullying me
Let us be honest.. it is an ugly building.. looks like a gaint shipping container .. it give me this office vibes rather than a home with family
My thoughts, too. Not sure how shipping containers fit into the idea of "in harmony with its surroundings". I guess it's pretty invisible but very odd. No landscaping so my guess is they ran out of money or it's not worth completing an architects vanity project. Watching it progress I'm thinking any criminal who has retained their ill gotten gains would love it as the window bars are a wonderful reminder of a prison cell. What nutter is going to buy this?
Literally what I was thinking too
I agree when they said house i was thinking weres the house , ive seen better looking shipping containers , and landscaping would not improve the look of this .
Banality trying to pass as style, promoted by low brow students who were taught by professors promoting Kitsch Moderne. It's a set for an absurd remake of the Avengers. Sports cars driving through while being shot at from the neighbors.
You get no argument from me :-)
Those cottage style houses you can just see through the living room window were only recently built, and the owners all paid a fortune for them. Only for this monstrosity to then pop up and take away the beautiful views they’d expected to have. Felt so sorry for them as I watched it go up.

This is the type of house you'd enjoy if a friend owned it 😂
To be fair, when I saw the outside, I thought ugggly... But inside, it took my breath away, it's stunning, my favourite house ever ❤️, great tour!!
Absolutely awful property. Not thought out. Dark dark dark and looks like a place of work. It's not a home.
Good luck trying to watch your 80" telly with a ruddy great sunlit stripe across it.
Yeah it is such an impractical design - would give you a headache! Would be a cool feature for maybe one room, but not the whole thing
I love Summer's enthusiasm in all these videos.... Makes for entertaining & compelling viewing.... btw - I love this house !!
Looks like somewhere a Black Mirror episode would be set in
Finally... Someone said that
Was waiting for someone to tell me it WAS one from Black Mirror 😝
I thought the exact same thing 😂
Many of the comments mention that it is not a family home, However, I see a couple who respect their privacy and don’t have any children enjoying the peace and space of this home.

I thought it'd be lovely for a family, too. I could see the main bedroom with option for two rooms being used as a nursery.
@@tinsel-pants absolutely! :)
I live near it and its disgusting it blocks a few cottages which were expensive and had nice views until this came. There are rumours that there was bribery in the planning permission
Horrifically designed building, not fit to serve as a home. This would be a very solemn, depressing place to live. Architect should have been fired.
I agree. You would need a few million to landscape to make habitable. Even then you would have to have a maintenance contract just to keep the place clean. What a sink hole for money.
Low key laughed at how matt walked to the kitchen with a huge coat plus it was speed up 🤣 ..
love the house♡︎
Not sure about this property. The room layout is pretty daunting. There’s a lot of light in all the rooms as well. Each to their own!
the way some of the rooms have been laid out baffles me, ruining the 2nd largest bedroom by putting a sauna in it? and having 2 bathrooms right next to 1 bedroom?
The words that come to mind are: "Form over function" and "Imagineering."
I pass this on my way to my daughters house, I honestly thought it was a building for farm machinery 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
True 🤣 I was confused. But once you step into the front area and enter the home it breathe taking. But it needs an amazing landscape to pull it all together ASAP! 😂 Because no one will but it if their not a creative minded individual.
LOL
Nice house. But that outside looks like all muddy land. Didn't they think of doing the garden ?
After building effect by large vehicles moving in /out plus heavy rain .. that's not worth 3.5M for sure.
Someone said that, as part of the planning permission, they are not allowed to landscape it. Because it's a conservation area you get to live in a field.

I'm curious, why is it dangerous?
I would be worried if I had small children.
That looks so cool but not where I’d like to live aha
It looks like it belongs on Mars.
A very unique home! Wow nearly 90k really glad that you have grown
Thanks Ben!
Cool design but the light beams that the outdoor panels create would get so annoying!
I agree, each time you walked somewhere the effect would be.. On, off, on, off... It would be a nightmare for epilepsy sufferers, or people with migraine. It looks like it also puts a permanent stripe across the TV screen. I can't imagine how dark it is on a dull day.

Imagine living there in summer. Stay safe.
Fisher & Paykel are a New Zealand 🇳🇿 manufacturing company for high end quality white goods globally ( just to help others the pronunciation is Fisher & Pie-kel )
I think the designer must of had a few wines everytime he sat down at night and planned the building out.
the landscaped gardens are my favourite part of this cheaply built warehouse
I think it’s a very creative and unique design, I’m definitely old fashioned though, has lots of horror movie vibes 😂
This is probably the one and only modern house which I really like. Hope you guys can do a similar house tour in the future. Well done!
I live near this house and it looks more like a modern office block than a house
Felt like I was on a proper adventure with you both on this tour . Loved it!
Hi, a series on celebrity houses would be pretty cool too. Obviously easier said than done lol. Keep up the great work!
finally door frames that matt’s head doesn’t touch or even comes close! lol.
For that price I'd demand landscaping and interior furnishing. Elegant design, but the dark kitchen doesn't work well at all and the staircase is too basic. £3.5mil is too much!
Hence why it’s never going to sell for anywhere near that price. It’s a giant box with lots of awkward rooms, terrible natural light and sat in the middle of a boggy old farm. I thought it was office space when I first drove passed
wouldn’t need to leave the house to get my steps in 😅 just walk one end to the other 😂
That kitchen is way too dark, considering floor to ceiling windows, just no natural light

Thanks Ella ☺️☺️
I live in solihull and drive past this monstrosity regularly. People with £3.5 million arnt stupid enough to waste it on that. Will be interesting to see how long its on the market for and how much it eventually sells for
Imagine how long it would take to hoover all the floors! Dyson stick with a rucksack full of batteries! 🤣
Bright sunny day and a dark, dark house.
Absolute eyesore, totally out of place.
I love the simplicity of the geometry in that house for a OCD this is paradise ❤️❤️
I don't know why but the house exterior and layout like the windows reminds me of a high school and there's so much unused land around the home but its overall nice design, I love the kitchen and use of hidden storage. Great video!
Can't be bothered to check all of the comments but has anyone used the word "grotesque" yet?
They have now.
Oh wow! I’ve never seen a house like this before ZB the design is crazy! And well worth the money! It’s beautiful and wouldn’t mind the location! Well done keep up the work and stay safe! I can’t wait for the updates for the underground house 🏡 try hoddesdon / Hertfordshire xxxx
This is 2 mins from me, I remember it getting built always wanted to see inside Thankyou!
Summer should do an abandoned mansion video, urban exploration and all. Her surprised face is adorable.
Thanks for the heart mate
Fantastic house and enjoyed your tour commentary, good level of detail and chat. Thanks for positing ...
finally something really outstanding, guys more properties like that, please
I live in knowle and this has been widely derided as a planning back-handed, some call it B&Q knowle.
Inside is bit better but office like or bland hotel. Would need a fortune to make it homely, not to mention the garden. The road overlooks the main entrance so not very private either. Obvious why this has never sold.
Good house tour, Matt & Summer. Perfect for a house & work space in one.
This house is like a museum / gallery... awesome
- Where do you live?
- in a giant container 😂
I know Solihull very well, I know exactly where this house is. I would much rather live on Lady Byron Lane. Beautiful village Knowle is.
the biggest issue for me would be the lack of proper windows.
‘Interesting’ is definitely the word. Not homely or cosy enough for me. You’re right that the heating would need to be on high constantly to keep the house warm. I feel odd even calling it a ‘house’ 😅 My initial reaction on seeing the inside was that it doesn’t match the setting at all. Using the given area of land I would have tried to compliment the beautiful surroundings and matched the interior to the exterior. Gorgeous red brick and natural and wood...yes please. Black and white, cold, ‘hard’ furnishings....no thanks! Definitely a video worth watching though!
Love this place! It’s very grand and modern. I wonder how you’d keep the light out of you room when you want to sleep 😴
I live very close to this house, but in the main part of Solihull. We bought our house through fine and country aswell😉
An amazing house - love the huge volumes of space! Your best tour yet...great stuff :)
Hi Matt and Summer i hope all well and safe:), great video guys as always. Being a designer myself what made me concerned was the ventilation and windows not opening. If i had my way the property in all glass and openings for fresh air would be awesome and concrete outside less maintenance.Looking forward to your next venture, :))
Wow! Such an interesting design. I’m not sure I’d want to live there though. It looks like a shipping container from the outside. 😂 But kudos to the architect for designing something so unique 👏🏼
Been looking at this house on rightmove for months I’m in love🤩🤩🤩
I absolutely love the way the light comes into the property.
I hope whoever buys it, lives there fills it with lots of family and friends brings the place to life and does it justice
Not sure I like this house but very interesting to see it. This channel is excellent. I enjoy the mix of properties that you guys show, from very unusual ones like this to more 'ordinary' ones. Great content!
Personally I like the aspect and idea of this house, although I wouldn’t be too sure on the practicality of it, but it’s still stunning! I’d love to see some tours in Somerset and Wiltshire areas😁
Looks like a home for ancient giants!!😅 I think they might end up making it a getaway home but that's if the surrounding area can give a wonderland adventure vibe than a desert vibe. Worse case an office space not sure it's for permanent living tbh.The surrounding exterior with no trees 🌲 I agree with the giant Christmas tree to swallow up space.
Lovely bright house. It’s not just the interior design that’s needed. A couple of deer hounds lounging on a rug in the sunshine would add some life. Though you could house ALL the dalmatians!
Beautiful home, I’m afraid I don’t have enough furniture to fill it.
Such a cool house, love this video! Great job guys😁
The surrounding land is just screaming to have a swimming pool, tennis/basketball courts on it!! I’m surprised a huge property like this doesn’t have a cinema room or something - considering it’s huge size! I love the interior because I am definitely a modern interior kinda person but would definitely prefer a more homely feel and less glass...can’t help but think all of That open glass during the night would be so scary to look into the fields lol!
When the bathrooms are the highlight of a £3.5m property, something has definitely gone wrong...
Didn’t expect to like it but I must say it grew on me throughout the video
🙏Matt & Summer. Another great daily upload for us viewers. Really interesting property, I know it quite well.
Nice house, good price, lots of space inside & out, you could buy this house as a investment & rent it out time to time to the movie industry, events, weddings
I love this house, very unique and spacious. I am 💯 buying this house.
I love this house. I’ve loved it since it’s planning stage ♥️
I do love the wood and brick building method, it also utilises the glass panels really well, I just feel that it’s way too big. It would probably take on a whole different persona when furnished though. Take care and stay safe.
For future reference, it’s a... patio sliding door, two main types, sliding door (short small handle) or lift and slide (long large handle). Bifolding doors... fold. 2 main types, bifolding or fold and slide.
I'm not usually in to really modern homes but i actually really like this property 👌 It looks slightly like a barn conversion and i loved how light and bright it is. My only issue was that it is quite office like and was making me think that schools could be built like this in the future 🤣 really good tour guys! Well done! xx
It's an extraordinary looking building. First observations are the shaft of light that goes straight over the end of your massive TV, and so much black! My wife would hate all the black fittings everywhere. For a house that should be about light all the kitchens and living space contains massive black units. I do like the massive walk-in showers. I've not seen any showers that big since my last visit to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Do love those. The building however looks more like an office build and its set in 6.5 acres of landscape from a Mad Max movie. it would take so much money and effort to make all that landscape look different from the wasteland it looks like now. Interesting building but would I pay £3.5m? probably not. It's an interesting video guys so thanks for sharing.
Simple and efficient. Very large.. hope there are enough people to fill it. Lovely views.
Very interesting house, and specific needs but for £3.5m... If it was circa £1m you may think OK I'll take a punt and renovate the entire house but who in their right mind is going to pay anywhere near the asking price. We love your videos by the way. Please come to Doncaster 👍
Incredible house, I though I'd hate it but it was truly incredible a unique contemporary design the works. Bricks, wood, white, matte black, marble black that's not too busy? Plenty of light with no windows? Genius. ( I'm so glad to see you are both well, I apologize for being a busy body I was just worried) P.S. I had to change to middle name which probably won't be a duplicate )
honestly I think the fact the house is completely bare doesn't do it justice like when furnished to taste it could really look gorgeous
Wow! From the outside it looks like a shelter for lots of animals (giraffes lol) and inside parts look office-y.
need Kevin McCloud needs to explain this house
Probably tried, he just couldn't stop throwing up.
Love it, nice walk thru presentation, massive yet modern and neat... cool house‼️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The locals have named it "The Gulag".
I really love this house, if it was furnished right it would be spectacular! This is my fave house you've toured and it's completely different to anything else
and the zipline idea is all too tempting
