GRAND DESIGNS - MONMOUTH

In this weeks episode (Channel 4 / Wednesday 6 Feb 2008 @ 9.00pm) the always likeable Kevin McCloud visit Jo and Shaun Bennett who have taken inspiration from the gothic tour de force of the house in the Addams family of all things, complete with a stained glass window, a huge stone fireplace and a massive oak staircase adorned with gargoyles.

They plan to do all of this on a budget of just £400,000 including buying the land. Despite her lack of experience, Jo, a working mother of two, not only designs the house, but decides to project manage the build. With a limited budget and grandiose ideas, Jo discovers that building this five-bedroom house is a much bigger challenge than she could ever have imagined. She and Shaun remain determined to get the bespoke detailing right, but good craftsmanship doesn't come cheap and they hit serious financial problems that threaten the build.
