I Own Britain's Best Home.

Home ? About as far removed from my home as a pod on Mars ..

Who are these excessively well off people who own these homes .. another world !

Tonight's offerings were:

1) A tudor mock house.

2) A new build Camelot style castle, built by the elderly builder himself.

3) A bungalow with 700% extension.

The tudor house was my favourite ... did appear to have class and cosiness, although lots of time spent in a small proportion of the house near the kitchen and small sitting room next to the playroom ..

so she could keep her eyes on the kids.

The castle was extremely ostentatious with mixtures of thousands of nicknacks spread around ... 43' main room, was slightly cosy in places and very eccentric ... yeh, cute, but the outside structure !... reminded me of one of those Forts I used to buy my son when was he was little.

The bungalow ... oh dear ! Acceptable on the outside, but the inside he had constructed some of the furniture on the cheap, and the cowhide boxes and settee were trash. Loved the bit in the snooker room when the owner stated wished to give it the feel of a gentleman's club.. more like the snooker room in a working man's club to me.

Would vote for the Tudor ... as did show class, which you can't buy really.

Just would not like to do the cleaning in any of these houses ... am I just envious ?

I missed tonight's episode.

I liked the Victorian Villa in south London that had been a squat, from the first programme, and the wooden house a woman had built in a wood, near a river in Norfolk, in the second edition.
