Grand Designs 18x9 - Herefordshire Smallholding

Ten years in the making, this is the longest running GrandDesigns ever. In 2007, Ed and Rowena Waghorn started to builda handcrafted five bedroom house on an eight acre smallholdingin Herefordshire. Their budget was just £100k. Made fromindividually carved wooden beams and walls of straw and clay,the heart of the house was to be a huge medieval style hall,complete with massive stone fireplace and a gloriouscathedral-like window with panoramic views across the valley.Ed decided to do most of the work himself. Progress was slow.Four years in, the house was still a shell. In 2012 KevinMcCloud decided to follow the build for another five years. Inthe end, it's just possible this house might turn out to be amasterpiece.
