I live in Earlswood these new builds are 15 feet from a main road, shared drive way one way in and one out what happens when you have guests, although well designed they went up really quick
Very nice houses - very tasteful, excellent finishing but the only thing at this price point not acceptable personally is a single garage - should be double garage at this price point.
So many commenters here saying this isn’t getting much for the price. I’m sitting here in Boston thinking, “if only you could get such a nice place for that price here…”
This is difficult (sigh)... 😕 I want to choose one of both but... both homes are great. Ithink I'm going with the first option because the space and I'm still not quite sure because the second option has a great space too, even though the second one is less bigger then option one. In terms of design both homes are amazing and I really like the homes of that developer. But still I'm going with the first one.
I personally prefer the smaller one. It's cosier, I prefer the layout, especially of the ground floor. The colour palette is also much nicer as opposed to house 1. And then there's also the price difference. House 1 does not have any attractive qualities that would interest me in buying the house.
Lovely homes, prefer the second, more cosy and the neutral colour is lovely. Lovely presentation, we look forward to your new videos! We missed Summer on this though!
If I'm spending that much, I would expect to have my own driveway entrance and not share it with my neighbour. I really don't like the way the grounds are shared. No thanks.
Overwhelming ! First, living here in Canada, these house are far far better built and generously equipped. I’m rather surprised that an “old” England can be this new and modern. But Congratulations 🥳 There sure are some flaws, if you will. Unless one buys both the houses, there isn’t much privacy between the two. I would expect ceilings to be a minimum of 10’. A single car garage takes this house back to 60 years, just as the side-by-side Fridge drags it to the 1980s. This is NOT a Fridge for a Big family. In a relatively small town, this does come across as overly priced by 300-400K. Don’t touch that sofa because I would buy it as it is ! Do you take Amex? Thank you for beautifully showcasing it~ 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The interior looks are a little dated (are we still using grey, studs and mirrored furniture?) and seems a bit pricey for Solihull (do people want to live there?) but they are good looking houses.
I am not sure of the presenter's height but he barely makes it through the doorways and the ceiling heights look like they are probably 8 feet. Most US new houses have at least a 10 foot ceiling height which makes even smaller rooms seem much more spacious. For the price, a two car garage would seem to be expected.
I like the entrance of the second one,and the kitchen is nicer in my opinion … I would buy the second one and save some money for my Maldives holiday 😊
Thanks very much for another new build and fab video. I always use Matt and Tom's height to measure these buildings. Today's home should have been built with an additional 2 feet in height. Everything else is quite solid. Thanks everyone. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Can you share details of the developers, you mentioned HDD Developers, but I cannot find them on the net. I'm about to embark on a project to build a 500sqm project in Hertfordshire, any help would be great.
Only seconds in and already thinking I’d rather pay more and have the entire plot of both houses and an increase in footage. If I was the developer I’m sure I would have done this though
You are going to get on well with your neighbours, I prefer the 1st home just because of the design really but both are very nice 👍🏼 great video thanks for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I would opt for the second home and save the money. Both are incredible properties... I can always become friends with the neighbour if I wanted to hang out at the bigger one 😊
I think most international visitors have heard of Birmingham these days and stating it is just outside Brum should be the best location indicator for most 👍🏼
The price is more indicative of the features and gadgets the houses come with if that’s what you’re going for, but they are very aesthetically pleasing and homely
0:07 So British! Use all space available to make a profit! It just greedy! It's like putting bed, kitchen appliances, toilet and shower in one room, calling it studio flat! 😂 Nice lot but f#cked up with 2 houses (well designed, especially kitchen, but in such a boring two-color theme)... 👏👏👏
Interior decoration and lighting is very old fashioned. And for that money i'd want a double car garage minimum, my own gated driveway entrance and a pool. 2nd House fridge door bang wasn't thought through
Lovely houses. The pricing is crazy, but those are both wonderful examples of new British design. I would prefer crittal doors downstairs instead of the thick white framed ones. Also preferred the larger staircase in Mulberry. This level of design should be the standard of homes across the board, if only. Hopefully the quality matches the aesthetic and they settle well in the first 10 years.
From the way this is priced i can tell we are headed to a housing bust. These houses are at most worth £350-500k, the fact they are worth more than a £1 million is diabolically outrageous
Very nice homes the pair I like the paneling and colours used as well as art deco styles. The first home that freezer is something else. Interesting door/drawer pulls as well. I would have rathered have a fireplace in the kitchen though sitting area instead of the television. I think I remember those other homes. The fence out the back is missing some wood I think I would like privacy from neighbours as some have pets not sure I want to share my garden with them. Nice to see you Matt interesting enough I follow another freelance website designer who has his own renovation channel Life of Ryan from France. The decor of both homes is interesting but would have left out the giraffes but well designed homes no less.
Would have liked to see floor plan. pricing seems a bit steep, might be area and upgrades and garden is nice size. Nice black n white theme in the house, modern sleek
There are so many things wrong with this property shared driveway low ceilings, the garage should be at least 3 car whats going on with the plastered bathroom ceilings just ripe to get dampness and theres no fence weres the slats and how close this property is too the other house for £1.45m i would expect a house on its own weres your garden privacy
For a 1.5M+, I wouldn't expect to share a driveway access or only have a small one car garage. In the first house, I also would have expected more storage in the kitchen. I've seen home tours that are half the price of these with more kitchen storage. Honestly I was expecting that the adjacent utility room would have more storage to supplement the kitchen, but it too was very small. I really liked the wardrobe area in bedroom 3. That was a clever space. The family bathroom was also nice. I found it odd that the principal suite didn't have any built-in wardrobes. Yes the room is large, but you still have to put in your wardrobes. That was a bit deceiving. For house 2, I have the same disappointment with the kitchen storage. I like bedroom 2 with its higher ceiling and abundant integrated storage. For the principal suite, I liked the high ceiling again but I also think that the wardrobes aren't as elegantly integrated. They look really clumsy. Save for the few higher ceiling rooms, most of the doors and ceilings feel low, or is Matt just extra, extra tall? Lastly, the way the back garden is separated feels cheap. For that price, I'd hope to see a taller brick wall separating the two sides.
I would personally prefer the first house, the open floor concept in that home seem more spacious and luxurious, and office space is crucial and the principal bedroom is much larger than the second home, the decor was tastefully done and I do prefer the blue in the kitchen
Great tour Matt and well built homes, but not sure they're worth the £1.5m mark, in terms of decor personally chrome and mirrored furniture is very dated! If i had to pick i'd go for the 1st house.
I do prefer the more country look of the £1.5 home. The biggest issue is a single garage. At the price point and being aimed at a family, a double or triple garage are the minimal requirement.
The integrated fridge freezer in the first house does not fit its housing hence the visible gap at the top of the fridge once the fridge door is opened....not great at this price point. ☹
One garage bay in a house that is over 1.4M GBP is just wrong. The bay doesn't even look big enough for the type of vehicle a buyer with the kind of money to buy this thing might want.
I’m I the only one who would love to have the washer and dryer upstairs if I had money to build my own house I would defo put them upstairs I don’t like the toilet like that as I’m a very large lady and I would be so scared they would fall I do like the houses but I don’t like how the garden is
I prefer symmetry of front of first house and it's the end of the cul de sac so more privacy, whereas you have to pass the second house to get to first house. But I prefer the wrap around stairs in second and the bedrooms. There should be verandas at the back and the garden of first is overshadowed by leylandii trees. There's no hedge or dividing wall between the two for privacy, so youre sharing a driveway and backgarden. It s a big ask for 1.5 million. The colour scheme is awful. Out go the boring greys blacks whites everywhere and in comes colour, so there's an additional spend.
