Massive stone house with trees growing through the stone from the roof (there's actually no roof) that needs permission from the English Heritage for restoration.

EDIT: Oh, and half the building collapses.

Surely the best one is where they converted an art deco waterworks. Did most of the work themselves and looked amazing...

Heresy. How can you question the superiority of a house where he built the walls by stacking hay bales and then trimming them with a chainsaw?

Chives is it the Castle in Yorkshire one? They end up renting it out as a b&b in the end?

Also like the one in Scotland with a wood frame and zinc roof. Has a great view out over the sea.

Another good one is the charcol person in the wood where his house is built with wood in an A-frame and had to be pulled down if he ever moved out.
