Grand Designs is such a great show. 95% of the time it’s just rich people pissing their fortune up the wall on vanity projects. But every once in a while you get a little gem like this one.

I would say it's more like 60/70% of the project that are over the top. And some are in the middle, a bit of vanity but they also put every bit of money they have in it.

I watch it on KZread and just look for the ones with people on a low budget.
This needs to happen way more. They schedule a building and then we all have to watch it crumble as hardly anybody has the cash. Imagine being able to spend what you'd spend on an average house on this absolutely beautiful home! Amazing.
We owe a debt of gratitude to this young couple and their visionary project in saving this a class ruin. Its uplifting, incredible.

Kevin Mcloud is an architectural poet and a national treasure. One of the best programmes on television, thank you Channel 4.
This couple have worked miracles. They have actually done the hard graft.
I love this project. I cannot imagine a more perfect answer to this no win project. Grans designs is the best of the best home building shows

God damn what a dream home. Every time i pass a derelict building or ruin here where i live i have the same thoughts and dreams. One day.
Stunning! As for the cost I guess a lot of people get carried away with expensive kitchen and stuff. This couple kept it simple and it seems. I love the space in this house.
love this project & its outcome! My one concern is how they've dealt with the possibility of the mill race flooding in winter/spring months since the house is built so close to it.
This is what is achievable when you put hard work into something. Very very well done!

It’s not structurally sound. You would have to take it down and rebuild it to make sure it’s safe.
Beautiful! Well done.
Super architecture. Old and new in one house.
I would be worried about the river level
What an AMAZING transformation!
Very beautiful… I’d like to see a similar one where they encased the ruins in a glass structure and live in the ruins as is… made safe of course
Superb restauration. Great Design. 👍🏾😎
Amazing!
"disneyfied" what a nice word that I will add to my collection
Although I like the house I really didn't understand the fact they remade a fake ruin around it as if it had not been demolished, it seemed to make zero conservation sense.

Think the title is a tad misleading
Amazing project, truly inspiring! I wonder how much it would have cost if they had done it all in stone?
Truely amazing 😀
Nice result, though the lead flashing looks dreadful
Awesomeness. Wow. Wow... fabulous.
Amazing job, especially considering the budget. I wonder what it would be if their time was factored in.
Tiny budget is 300,000 hehe ok.. I guess my idea of a tiny budget is a bit different..
using the term renovation is stretching it a bit. well, a lot.
Incredible
Strange title. Not sure if I like this renovation. I have a passion for old ruins, it seems to have disappeared , taking down and putting up perfection is not conservation of a listed building. But they like it and they gave permission for them to do it. So listing it was without purpose if you think about it.

Seems like listing it probably dropped the price massively when they came to buy it. So if anything, listing it probably actually doomed it even more. As ghe only people that may have bought it other than this couple would have been English heritage or similar, with no one probably committing enough to prevent it falling down further.

I agree. nothing of it's old beauty remains. it looks just like a new building
They have achieved something amazing beams should have left alone no paint but it’s a personal choice
Very ambitious and looks great but one flaw there in Cumbria one of the most wet and damp parts of the country and they've used wood oh well hope they have the money to renovate every 10-20 years
Bellísimo el resultado
Looks like they both aged 10 years in the process. Must have been a stressful build
Love it
A gorgeous build, despite the paint choices. The integration into the site is clouded, though...
I wish next life i would have a stone n wood home by the water body..
It's beautiful and I admire their fortitude, but the FLOOD is only a matter of when.
From the title "TINY Budget Ruins Renovation" I thought that it was the tiny budget that ruined this renovation :) I thought that was a bit cruel. Amazing project!
I just hope for them they never get a flooding with that stream a few feet away 🥴 nothing for me really, i would keet that stream as far as possible 😬😬😬😬😬

Title says renovation, i see no renovation
Just absurd that a long forgotten ruin like that needs permission from the Secy of State to renovate. Beautiful though.
Makes you think
Nice, but streams do flood occasionally, just saying.
Will it flood?
What a weird video title, a type of clickbait I guess - Tiny budget RUINS renovation. Actually - Tiny budget, ruin renovation. Great result by the way.
From the title, I thought they messed up the renovation because of 'ruins'. So for the whole video i was expecting something to go wrong
Can you make your content accessible by putting in closed captioning?
Reminded me of a movie, forgot which one it was, it envisioned a woman getting an escape far from home to meet her lover..
👏👏👏
I looove this but are they not worried about flood risks? Might be a dumb question but hey ho
Oh, I see. I thought that thumbnail was a bit cruel about Kevin McCloud...
Que mal gusto! Perdon, pero era un lugar increible y se podria haber hecho una obra de arte ! Siento que no llegan a incorporarse las ruinas con la nueva construccion ! Y despues no comparto el gusto, pero eso es personal.
Freakin inspired
Damn. Those stoneworkers are HOT!!!
What a mess, makes IKEA look good.
I call bullshit on their £300k budget. The glazing alone looks like 50 grand. When Kevin Mcloud says "super-cheap, impossible cheap," you can take that literally.
How exactly was it "ruined" then? 🤔
It's about time this ancient wreck was renovated but to be honest, I can't see any difference and he sounds just the same.

A better title would have been: TINY Budget Renovates Ruins
I am confused. How does demolition and a new build with the stones equal renovation? If I demolished my garden shed, but reused the door and hinges, is that renovated? An interesting project, but unfortunately it has destroyed the character of the site. The romantic ruin has been replaced with an over-large structure that dominates the stream in a way that the original buildings never did. No doubt the timber cladding will settle down as it ages, but it will always be shouting "look at me". It looks more like a building that, to misquote Dickens, "crept into the valley as a young warehouse, and couldn't find its way out again". I think that I would have preferred to see the structure slowly decay, eventually leaving a few piles of fern covered stone in a truly magical setting. After all, this project has not really preserved anything but the footprint of the original building, what has been lost is much greater.
Qué horror
❤️👍😎
I read this title as they ruined the renovation due to their small budget XD

For that large of a house, it is.
I wonder if that river floods? It'd be a shame to see the house underwater. They've created something truly beautiful.
How rich are these people?
All the old monuments are taken down, and then build back up with the same stones! how is this preservation? you didn't preserve anything, every sense of history and place is lost. Its like sending your favorite dog to a taxidermist to get an "renovation"
The way the title is written makes it sound like the small budget “ruined” the restoration. Odd phrasing.
