00:01What makes a house a home?
00:04We ask the people of Scotland to enter their houses into Scotland's Home of the Year.
00:09Now, our judges are visiting the top three from each region,
00:13choosing one each episode to go through to our national final.
00:17Scoring them on architectural merit, distinctive design and original style are
00:23Mall-based interior designer Banjo Beale.
00:26What I'm looking for in a home is comfort, character and craftsmanship.
00:31Interior designer Anna Campbell-Jones.
00:34Home is a state of mind as much as it's a physical place.
00:37Home is an evolution, but love is the key that unlocks it all.
00:41And architect Danny Campbell.
00:44What I'm looking for in a home is a stimulating experience,
00:47fuelled by the owner's authenticity and vision,
00:50revealed through cleverly connected functional spaces that respond to their setting.
00:55Yabba Dabba Day.
00:58I'm really enjoying this so far.
01:00Come on Danny!
01:03In the end, only one can be Scotland's Home of the Year.
01:11Today our judges are visiting the shortlist in Central and Tayside.
01:16They're starting in Broughty Ferry with a 1960s modernist home.
01:20Jackie and Paul have lived in the treehouse for the past three years with their cats Mirren and Kadja.
01:27The house came up and we came along to view it.
01:31Since we came in, we saw the potential.
01:34A young man built it for his family, a young architect in his 20s, lived right the way through until his 80s.
01:39Essentially it was a 60 year old house that we were inheriting as only the second owners.
01:45And that was a huge challenge, but also a great opportunity for us.
01:48It had been lying empty for five years, so it was pretty unloved and a pretty sad house.
01:54There was a lot of trees round about the house, which is why we call it the treehouse, and that choked all the light.
01:59It's been probably a labour of love, complete renovation, top to bottom.
02:09We didn't want a 1960s museum piece, but we wanted to preserve some of the things that the person who built this house
02:15had actually put a lot of consideration into.
02:17So the exposed brick, the lovely floor, the massive windows.
02:21In fact, we often say, what would he think of this? What would he think of this?
02:26The thing I really love about this house is the way that essentially you've got a little bit of L.A.
02:31It's like a house from Hollywood Hills.
02:33You've also got a house that's a little bit Scandi Noir.
02:36You've got a house that could be in the Melbourne suburbs.
02:39You've got a Japanese courtyard.
02:41And upstairs we've got our own big room, which really is, you know, up in the trees.
02:46We've really got everything here.
02:48The ground floor includes a kitchen diner, a lounge, three bedrooms and a bathroom.
02:56Upstairs there's a relaxation space, a shower room, a dressing room and a bedroom.
03:03This is our favourite spot in the home.
03:06And the reason for that is because we do a lot of cooking, we have a lot of family around.
03:10It's a very social space to be.
03:12You can get to the garden and I really love it.
03:15Armed with only the basic facts about the property and its owners,
03:19the judges will now get their first glimpse of the treehouse.
03:23Ooh!
03:25Yes!
03:27I like this.
03:29Wow, this building's got some energy. It's so dynamic.
03:32You've got all the height, the overhangs, it's coming this way, that way, it's coming towards us.
03:37All embedded in that rockery. I'm loving this.
03:39It's like a modernised, modernist building.
03:42Does that make it postmodern?
03:44Kind of, yeah.
03:45They've obviously painted the bricks black to make it look more contemporary.
03:50That is a nice contrast with the black and the blonde timber. It offsets it a little bit.
03:55It feels a bit like we're about to step inside a giant Oreo cookie.
03:59Okay, I can get behind that.
04:01Alright, let's go check her out.
04:07Ah, we're home.
04:09Wow.
04:10Look at that.
04:11We in Japan or Dundee?
04:13What an oasis to come into off that busy road.
04:16Wow, that courtyard is amazing and we're being greeted by this enormous piece of glass
04:21which just has the same proportions as the hallway.
04:23I love that they've got the original drawings on the wall here.
04:27So you can see how it was originally.
04:29Yeah, fascinating.
04:31Well, we're getting drawn in this way. Should we keep exploring?
04:33Let's go, but which way?
04:37Ooh!
04:40Oh, I'm coming next to sit next to you.
04:42Sit next to see.
04:43Nice.
04:44They easily could have opened up from this single brick partition
04:47and made the whole space open plan
04:49but I really love the way they've actually created this moment of pause as you come through.
04:53Well, I feel like they've really respected the original architect's vision then, haven't they?
04:58It's a classic modernist move, isn't it?
05:00To connect spaces with partial walls, setting the rooms up enfilade.
05:05Enfilade?
05:06Yes, that's the word for it, darling.
05:08Which means without corridors.
05:10They got it right back then, didn't they?
05:12Modernism was all about clean lines and creating volumes that responded perfectly to their sight
05:17and using modern technologies of the time.
05:19And I think that's evident here where we're constantly connected to the outside spaces.
05:24Ooh, hear that?
05:27Nothing.
05:29Silence.
05:30Silence.
05:31It's true.
05:32You could be anywhere.
05:36Oh, I found the heart.
05:38Oh.
05:39Is it going to be your happy place?
05:41This is delicious.
05:43I can see why this is their favourite spot.
05:45We're still connected to the outside, but it's this private, perfect, entertaining kitchen space.
05:50I love the way the island and the dining has bridged these two volumes underneath this downstand.
05:55It is drawing you out, isn't it?
05:57I mean, you could slide your starter, your main, your point all down there.
06:02It's a...
06:03Teppanyaki.
06:04It's the Teppanyaki kitchen, isn't it?
06:06We are in Japan.
06:07I really like their choices too.
06:09The bamboo units, the zealage tiles.
06:12The cabinets even kind of feel like they're keeping in with the time.
06:16It's really nicely done.
06:18And a view through to where people are sitting having vol-au-vents.
06:22Yeah.
06:23Party time.
06:24Open plan living's dead.
06:26Bring back this.
06:28Feels open, but not close.
06:30Semi-open plan.
06:31Broken plan.
06:32Is that what they call it?
06:33Yeah.
06:34Glossary's going to be exploding after this house.
06:36Oh, my God.
06:37Glossary.
06:43Ooh.
06:44Here we are.
06:46Obligatory chair, Anna.
06:48Compulsory.
06:50Eames lounger for me to sit in.
06:52Therapy time.
06:53What have you done?
06:55Well, since last year, I've been working really, really hard on my glossary terms for modernist architecture.
07:02This is the part of the house where we're the highest up and all the rules have been broken.
07:06There's no straight lines anywhere.
07:07There's angles.
07:08There's height.
07:09There's things breaking up all the clean lines.
07:11Different types of window.
07:12This is a creative exploration space.
07:15Lovely little spot to read, watch some telly.
07:18It still feels like it's appropriate for this house.
07:21I like that we're not compartmentalizing this zone.
07:23This is a breakout space, but it's got some of the best external views.
07:27It's a little bit like being in a tree house.
07:30Quite different to downstairs where all the views are kind of focused on the courtyard.
07:33Here, I'm up in the trees and looking out over the rooftops of the neighbouring houses.
07:41Wow.
07:42Look at that window.
07:43What an absolutely beautiful bedroom.
07:46This window is enormous.
07:48I really love that it goes from the floor all the way up to the apex.
07:52It's just dragging all of that greenery right into this room.
07:55Kind of almost feels like it's counter-levered.
07:57Do you feel like we're floating?
07:59Is it just me?
08:00No, it definitely feels like you're floating.
08:02And they've done floating bedside cabinets as well to enhance that theme.
08:07Maybe one little thing I would do is put the bed here and the bed could be floating in the room out into there.
08:14Imagine waking up to that view.
08:19What will Anna, Banjo and Danny make of the tree house?
08:23One judge's score will be held back until they've seen all three homes,
08:27when their combined scores will be revealed.
08:31One of the things that's really successful about this home
08:34is the arrangement of the spaces and their interrelationship with each other.
08:39It's an absolute masterstroke.
08:42They've also got artwork that is a mixture of contemporary and artwork from the period of this building.
08:47So you really get a sense of being in a building that has been on a journey.
08:52I'm going to give this home a nine.
08:56I've absolutely fallen in love with this home.
08:58It's positioned on its site perfectly to take advantage of the south-east light in that courtyard.
09:03The clean lines and deep reveals of the ground floor completely contrast with the carefree abandon
09:09of the angles exposed structure and the chaos of the window placement upstairs.
09:14It almost feels like two completely opposing personalities that have fallen in love and made a home together.
09:20And they do say opposites attract.
09:23I'm going to give this home a ten.
09:25This place is a gem, the modernist home with a really contemporary update.
09:32They've managed to pay homage to what the original intention was, add their own twist to it.
09:37When I'm in a home, I'm chasing the feeling and I instantly felt calm the minute I walked in the door and saw that tree outside.
09:44The connection between the inside and out is just spot on.
09:54Next, we're off to Deanston near Doon to visit a farmstead in conversion.
09:59Since moving here in 2023, the dairy has been home to Vary, her husband Andrew and their family.
10:08What I wanted most of all was to take the inspiration from the outside and we just had to live here and feel it for a bit.
10:17So we would sit up on the balcony, look at the colours changing, and we started to build the house around that.
10:24So we brought all the colours of nature into the house.
10:29Our focus when we were developing this home was really to put our family at the heart of it
10:36and to create a really joyful space that people could come and retreat to.
10:41And we just poured so much love into it.
10:43It just feels like such a joyful place to live.
10:48Over two floors, the ground floor includes three bedrooms, one with en suite, a bathroom, a kitchen and a lounge diner.
10:58On the first floor, there's another en suite bedroom and a mezzanine balcony with a view.
11:06This is our favourite spot in the home. This is where we spend our evenings watching the sun go down over the trossacks.
11:12We just love the view from the balcony up here. It's amazing.
11:16What will the judges think of the dairy?
11:21I'm liking the zinc and slate roofs kind of coming together.
11:25Gorgeous.
11:26There's a lot of materials going on here, but they all relate to each other.
11:28So the scot larch and the stone, similar tones, the slate on the roof and the standing seam really works.
11:35It's a classy country composition.
11:37I feel like I'm at home back on the farm.
11:39You can see the old buyer through the back.
11:41It's a really handsome little conversion, isn't it?
11:43I love the way the lawn is retained by that wall of reclaimed sleepers and the fact that they're leaning over and kind of higgledy-piggledy against the really sharp, clean lines of this building.
11:54Higgledy-piggledy farm. I like it. Should we go check it out?
11:57Oh, I wasn't expecting double-height space.
12:04Yeah, that looks like it might be the old barn.
12:07I feel like we've entered into the middle of a crossroads with each direction going to a different use.
12:11And the kitchen is through there, tucked in that little tiny space. I thought it might have been in this open space. That's an interesting choice.
12:19I love this glamorous corridor with these beautiful velvet curtains.
12:23Quite luxurious, isn't it?
12:25A discreet exterior conceals a glamorous interior.
12:34I really appreciate that they've coloured the steel the same colour as the window frames.
12:38Yes. That's a chunky bit of steel, isn't it?
12:40Yeah.
12:41Although we've got all this glass flooding the space with light, pushing the furniture back towards the log burner does feel very homely and secure.
12:48I'm really impressed with the number of zones they've managed to create in this space. The comfy seating area at the back, the dining area, this kind of conversational seating area in the double-height space, another conversational seating area on the mezzanine and circulation.
13:04Lots of places to sit.
13:06It's working hard to get you sitting down.
13:07And they're hardly working if they're sitting down all the time.
13:10All right, shall we go check out that mezzanine?
13:12Yes.
13:13Okay.
13:14Ooh.
13:15Ooh.
13:16Ah, here she is.
13:22Oh, let me try it out.
13:25Ooh, these are comfy.
13:26What a view.
13:28What a vista.
13:29Coffee in the morning, sundowners in the evening.
13:32This is the money spot.
13:33It makes sense.
13:34I was thinking it was a little bit small, but this is where you want to sit.
13:38I really like that.
13:39I can see the front door from here as well as the swallows swooping into the eaves.
13:43It's all about that west-facing view watching the sunset roll in.
13:47Gorgeous.
13:48Oh, hey.
13:49It's cooking.
13:50Good-looking, that view.
13:51I really love the size of that panoramic window.
13:52Do you want to boost up to see it?
13:53Yeah, I can't see it out of it.
13:54Oh, poor Anna.
13:55Well, let me describe it.
13:56Yeah.
13:57Oh, there it is.
13:58It's lovely.
13:59Do you think it's a fraction dark in here?
14:00I feel like we've got the west-facing and north-facing windows that are really quite small.
14:05I think an opening on this side connecting to the courtyard could totally transform this space.
14:22I don't know.
14:23Maybe you just want to shut the door in a messy kitchen and enjoy the rest of your house.
14:28and enjoy the rest of your ass.
14:30Ooh, Empire Biscuits, my favorite.
14:36Spray that again.
14:44Oh, I love that we're getting the height in here.
14:46Thistledoo, two of them.
14:48Oh, Thistledoo, very good.
14:51They've got a very kind of urban palette in here,
14:54haven't they, of black and gold and dark gray.
14:57Quite a strong counterpoint to the very bucolic setting.
15:00It's sumptuous, isn't it?
15:02It's great to put the bedroom at the north of the building
15:04where you don't need as much natural light,
15:05perfect for sleeping.
15:07Do you think these wardrobes
15:08should have gone all the way to the ceiling?
15:09Yeah, I do agree.
15:10That might be a missed opportunity, carrying the wardrobes up.
15:13It also feels like there's nothing old in this house.
15:16They've just bought new furniture just for this home.
15:23Mm.
15:25Oh, this is nice.
15:26It is hand-painted.
15:27Yeah, I think it is,
15:28because I don't really see a repeat as such.
15:31It's a mural.
15:33Oh, a rural mural.
15:35A rural mural, yes!
15:39We should go.
15:40We're done.
15:41We've peaked.
15:42And there's our picture there.
15:43Oh, self-portrait.
15:47How will the judges score the deity?
15:49This home is all about blending the old with the new.
15:52They've taken the old agricultural building
15:54and added this really great new extension onto it.
15:57It's light, it's bright, it's full of really fabulous pieces.
16:02Perhaps I'd love to see a little bit more old inside, some stone, perhaps some old antiques,
16:08just to kind of bring it together a little bit more.
16:11I'm giving this home an eight.
16:14There's a very pleasing continuity of quite sprightly colour choices and pattern styles
16:22that coordinate throughout the home without making every room feel the same.
16:26Whilst I think there are some compromises in the way the building itself has been developed,
16:32the way that this homeowner has occupied it is really joyful.
16:37I'm going to give this home a nine.
16:40Well, in my opinion, one of the keys to successful architecture
16:43are taking advantage of the opportunities of the site,
16:46and we have been absolutely spoiled in this location.
16:50However, I think a few opportunities were missed.
16:52Personally, I would have loved to have seen more natural light in the kitchen space,
16:56maybe even an external opening or a visual link through to the main social space.
17:01That would make this home an absolute showstopper.
17:11The final home in Central and Tayside is a detached Victorian conversion in Ochterardor.
17:17The carriage house is home to Audrey and Malcolm and their cat Snowdrop and Midnight.
17:23So we've made a lot of changes to the house.
17:25We started downstairs in the bathroom and then we kind of just moved through the house after that.
17:30We reconfigured up here.
17:32We've tried to keep the character.
17:34I remember when we first moved here.
17:36I mean, we both fell in love immediately by just going out onto the balcony and looking out onto the garden.
17:43Audrey's transformed over the 17 plus years that we've been here.
17:47We've got lots of old pieces, family pieces, and this house has been fantastic for that because it allows us to do that with it being an older house.
17:55And also, we've got a beautiful fireplace which we inherited and when I was doing the colour schemes for the house, I really was inspired by that fireplace.
18:03We've got William Morris tiles.
18:06I've been really inspired by arts and crafts.
18:09There's always a project on the go.
18:11I would have the vision and we would either get workmen in to do it or we'd do it ourselves.
18:17And the same with the garden as well.
18:18I have the vision and it takes years to put it into practice.
18:22The home has an upside down layout.
18:27Entry is on the ground floor where there's a bathroom and three bedrooms, one with en suite.
18:33Upstairs, there's an open plan kitchen, dining and living space, which leads onto a study with neighbouring WC.
18:41And just off the dining area is a balcony.
18:46This is our favourite spot in our home.
18:48And it's because we can see all the way through into the back of the house and everything that we've done.
18:52We can also see our lovely fireplace and we just feel it's a lovely place to relax as well.
18:59Time for the judges to get their first view of the carriage house.
19:03Wow.
19:06Very nice.
19:08That elevation is so aesthetically pleasing with the two archways, that window right in the middle and that existing pulley.
19:15I love that crow stepped roof and the sage on the woodwork.
19:19I was waiting for one of Anna's poetic colour descriptions.
19:22I think it's just sage.
19:24Sage is so basic.
19:25I'm basic, babe.
19:27I'd call it smoked eucalyptus, a bit like this beautiful planting that they've got outside.
19:32Beautiful ironwork on that Juliet balcony.
19:34I can imagine letting my hair tumble down there as I wait for my night.
19:40This building looks really well aged and it's clearly lived a life.
19:43It has.
19:43But what is it now?
19:45Shall we have a look?
19:46This guy.
19:52Such an imposing building.
19:53This space feels like being in a little cottage with this old fashioned furniture.
19:57There's a few antiques in here.
19:59It's quite unusual.
20:00Normally as you come in, I was expecting to see a big open space and somewhere really obvious to go.
20:04See a nifty little bathroom in there with the checkerboard tiles.
20:07Mm-hmm.
20:08Stairs.
20:09Got a carpet.
20:10These are probably leading to bedrooms, I think.
20:11I wonder if we're dealing with living upstairs here.
20:14Shall we go have a look?
20:16Onwards and upwards.
20:17Oh, it really opens up, doesn't it?
20:22Wow.
20:23There's the heart.
20:24There we go.
20:25Right.
20:26Test it out.
20:27Oh.
20:28Okay.
20:29This is nice.
20:30This is nice.
20:31It's a fun little layout.
20:32So I think this is the favourite spot because you can see who's coming up the stairs.
20:36You can see into the kitchen, the living space, dining space and also outside of the trees and the houses beyond.
20:42All the different heights in here are really interesting.
20:45That's a really nice way to zone an open plan layout and having those beams exposed is really great.
20:51What a gorgeous fireplace.
20:53Maybe that's also why this is the favourite spot because it's closest to this museum piece fireplace.
20:58I love that tongue and groove cladding and that smoky eucalyptus, shall we say, inside as well.
21:03Yeah, that would be a really good description.
21:06Yeah.
21:07It's such a grown up space, but there's something fun about living in the roof that keeps you young.
21:12It's like a massive tree house.
21:14That's how it feels with all this wood.
21:16We've got the space outside.
21:17There's all this green and stuff as well, the different levels.
21:20It's fun in here.
21:21Ooh.
21:26They've been very creative with their furniture layout.
21:29It feels very social, but my feng shui is pinging.
21:33I don't know if that's the way to do it.
21:34I do agree with not having the furniture shoved against the walls, but I'm not completely sure about the 45 degree angle.
21:41However, it does work really well in relation to the wood burner and the TV.
21:46You know, I'm not sure they had many other options with the layout.
21:49They've got the access from the stairs here.
21:51They've got the double doors there, the log burner and the TV.
21:54This was probably the only arrangement they could make work.
21:56Right, I need to check out this.
21:57It looks like an office.
21:58Ooh.
21:59That's my look.
22:02Oh, they've pushed that desk right into the eaves.
22:04They're making the most of the space they've got to work with.
22:07It's a very sweet little writing nook, isn't it?
22:09It's a lovely little space.
22:10They've got some really nice little artworks here, like those elevations of boffies.
22:14Ooh, doors.
22:16Where do they lead?
22:17Open it.
22:18Oh!
22:19Oh!
22:20Well, that's handy.
22:21You get short when you're writing an essay.
22:24No, well, writing makes me nervous, so it's always handy.
22:29Another door.
22:30Oh, it's a little pantry.
22:32This is the perfect writing room.
22:34Write, eat, we repeat.
22:36Wow, they've crammed a lot of kitchen into quite a small space.
22:46Haven't they?
22:47It's generous.
22:48They're clearly gardeners, aren't they?
22:49Look at that lovely little trug with their fresh pick, all the flowers they've brought
22:53in from outside.
22:54It's lovely.
22:55It's a bit of a funny layout, though, isn't it?
22:58The relationship between the sink and the stovetop is really concerning me.
23:03How on earth do you drain your spuds from the stove to the sink?
23:07Chuck them.
23:08Just fling them one by one.
23:09Fling the spuds.
23:10Yeah.
23:11You don't do that?
23:12Maybe we've just got to get over that golden triangle.
23:14I think with that available wall, the counter units could've just wrapped all the way around
23:18this space.
23:19Trying to force an island in can be an absolute space killer.
23:21I can forgive everything if they have a wine fridge.
23:24So it's fine.
23:25And they have a champagne fridge.
23:27A champagne fridge.
23:28Even better.
23:29I like it.
23:30I love the colour.
23:31What would you call that, Anna?
23:32I think we've got pistachio creme on the walls and then the units are painted in
23:37woodland mushroom.
23:38You're making us hungry.
23:41You're like one of those fancy restaurants that has ridiculous names for things.
23:46Olive dust.
23:48All right, should we go outside and pick some fresh herbs?
23:55Wow, this is beautiful.
23:58Wow.
23:59Look at that stunning mountain view.
24:02They're in this gorgeous mature garden.
24:04These guys know how to garden, don't they?
24:06They do.
24:07I feel a bit guilty about the state of my garden.
24:09All those lovely real plants inside and all those botanical elements really carry through.
24:13This garden's gorgeous.
24:14Oh, what a treat to have a balcony come out, have your morning coffee, listen to the birds.
24:20You are smack bang in the middle of town here, but still feels like it's your own private
24:26oasis.
24:27They're in heaven up here.
24:28Explore a bit more.
24:29Mind your head.
24:30No problem for me.
24:31You are.
24:32Oh, this is really cosy.
24:33Ooh.
24:34We're in maybe where, you know, a little Clydesdale used to trot into.
24:48That bed's not big enough for Clydesdale.
24:49Could be.
24:50I think this is one of the lovely things about upside down living.
24:51We've got all that light and space upstairs and down here it feels darker, a place you
24:52could really nestle in.
24:53It's a little bit old fashioned, but in such a lovely little way.
24:54That crocheted throw, that was something my granny had knit me.
24:55And we've got a door here.
24:56Oh, where's that lead?
24:57Oh, what's that lead?
24:58Oh.
24:59Oh, what's that leading to?
25:00A dressing room?
25:01It's an en suite.
25:02En suite.
25:03Beautiful.
25:04How will the judges score at the carriage house?
25:06Upside down living can sometimes be a little bit more.
25:08It's a little bit more.
25:09It's a little bit more.
25:10It's a little bit more.
25:11It's a little bit more.
25:12It's a little bit more.
25:13It's a little bit more.
25:14It's a little bit old fashioned, but in such a lovely little way.
25:16That crocheted throw, that was something my granny had knit me.
25:19And we've got a door here.
25:20Oh, where's that lead?
25:21Oh.
25:22What's that leading to?
25:23A dressing room?
25:24It's an en suite.
25:25Upside down living can sometimes be really controversial.
25:28But for this conversion, it's worked really well.
25:30And when we got upstairs, it was so obvious why they wanted their living, kitchen, dining
25:35space up there.
25:36For me though, I think it's really important to consider how you manage that balance between
25:40authentically old buildings and what you're adding is new.
25:44I'm giving this home an eight.
25:47This is quintessential cottage to the core.
25:50A beautiful garden, handsome on the outside and very cute inside.
25:54It's a little bit old fashioned, but still young at heart.
25:58For me, maybe I'm looking for a little bit more of a cohesive design.
26:02I'm giving this home an eight.
26:05I'm always intrigued to see buildings that have been converted from another use and given
26:11a whole new lease of life.
26:13Whilst it can be difficult to convert a building like this to a home, they've taken advantage of that
26:19and created quite a quirky selection of higgledy-piggledy spaces.
26:30Now that the judges have seen all three homes, the final scores can be revealed.
26:35First, it was the treehouse in Broti Ferry.
26:38This little slice of modernist history.
26:41I gave it a nine.
26:43Danny, you gave it a ten.
26:47Banjo.
26:48Wow, it was a gorgeous timber and tin treehouse.
26:51I thought it was a modernist gem.
26:53Its connection with the outside really drew me in.
26:56I gave it a ten.
26:57Wow, what a cracking start.
26:59The treehouse gets 29.
27:01I love that courtyard.
27:03Next, it was the Deity in Deanston.
27:06This beautiful modernised studying in a, you call it, setting.
27:10I gave it a nine.
27:12Banjo gave it an eight.
27:14Danny, tell us what you thought.
27:16Well, it was an amazing setting and I really loved the minimal use materials outside.
27:21And I thought that some of the detailing inside maybe wasn't quite as refined as the styling.
27:25I gave it a seven.
27:27Okay, so that gives the Derry 24.
27:30It's still a beautiful home.
27:32Amazing location.
27:33And finally, the carriage house in Ochterdarde.
27:37Danny, you gave it an eight.
27:39Banjo, you also gave it an eight.
27:43I really enjoyed the way the carriage house was converted to create a sort of warren of little cosy spaces.
27:50I also gave it an eight.
27:53We agreed on that as a first.
27:56So the carriage house gets 24.
27:59Brought us together.
28:00Oh, beautiful home.
28:02So with a cracking score of 29, Treehouse is our finalist for Central and Tayside.
28:06That's a great finalist.
28:07Indeed.
28:08The Treehouse wins in Central and Tayside and is one step closer to becoming Scotland's Home of the Year.
28:20Next time, the judges are in the Highlands and Islands.
28:23God, you've got a heck of deck of them all.
28:26As the search continues for Scotland's Home of the Year.
28:29The Hall of the Year is a good one.
28:30And we've got a number and a half.
28:32We are great friends.
28:33I love you.
28:34How are you doing?
28:35Probably a good one.
28:36And we're really good.
28:37That's a great job.
28:38It's a good one.
28:39We've got a market.
28:40We've got a market that's kind of so far to be prepared.
28:41When you're lucky and you do a lot.
28:43It's a good one.
28:44We're lucky to be able to have that market.
28:45And we've got a market that's a good one.
