Episode Overview

Title: Somerset: The Concrete Cow-Shed Plot: Kevin McCloud tracks the journey of private chef Ed Versluys and pilates instructor Vicky Anderson as they endeavor to transform a concrete cowshed in the picturesque Somerset countryside into a cozy three-bedroom residence. With the assistance of a young builder and leveraging online resources, the couple aims to oversee the renovation themselves. They face the challenge of completing this ambitious project within eight months, while sticking to a budget of just over £200,000, as they envision a home featuring straw bale walls and expansive glass panels.
