Grand Designs viewers all have the same complaint about couple’s dream home – but did you spot it?

GRAND Designs viewers were baffled after a couple spent £300k renovating their dream property - but it is still missing a kitchen.

Presenter Kevin McCloud met an ambitious couple who planned to transform a 200-year-old former blacking mill into a new-build hybrid.

Rob and Ruth had planned to spend 18 months transforming the house, but were told that the building was not structurally sound.

Three-and-a-half years later, Kevin revisited the property to see if the couple had completed the renovations.

The couple initially had a budget of £250k, but revealed that they had increased it to £300k to completely overhaul the mill - and were still not finished.

Upon returning, Kevin spotted that the Cumbrian couple did not have a kitchen.

They also revealed that they still had work to complete on three double bedrooms and a work space.

Viewers were baffled that the couple had gone way over budget and were still kitchen-less.
