Episode Details

Retired engineer Peter Bullen’s self-built home is a marvel of DIY ingenuity — featuring a soundproof workshop bigger than the rest of the house and a rooftop garden that’s transformed from dirt to thriving oasis. Once a Grand Designs star, he now grows 150 garlic plants and champions native flora, inspired by botanic trips. The house is impressively energy-efficient, needing just one hour of heating daily in winter — and even survived summer fires thanks to smart design. Neighbors now want to use it as a fire bunker… on the condition they bring the right red wine.
