Josie Gibson transforms rural dwelling into an eco-friendly farming estate for television project in the West Country
ITV Announces New Series "Josie Gibson's Big Country Build"
In an exciting turn of events, ITV has announced a new primetime series set to air in 2026. The series, titled "Josie Gibson's Big Country Build," will follow the transformation of a derelict countryside property in Somerset into a self-sufficient, environmentally focused residence.
Josie Gibson, the popular TV personality, will be at the helm of this ambitious project. Known for her DIY solutions, family labor, and a knack for using low-cost materials, Gibson is ready to take on this challenge while staying within budget.
The series will document every step of the renovation process, from initial planning and design through demolition, build phases, and eco upgrades. Gibson's dream is to create an eco-friendly and luxurious home that seamlessly blends with nature, providing a haven for bees, birds, and badgers.
The visual impact of the project is promising, with outdoor living zones, rustic-modern finishes, and open-plan kitchen layouts. Local tradespeople will also be involved, adding a community dynamic to the process.
Gibson will be joined by her brothers Josh and Charlie, both scrap metal traders, and cousin Tom, a builder, for the renovation project. The series will air each week, with each episode covering a major phase in the project.
Financial pressures are a concern for the project, as eco priorities can come with added costs. However, Gibson is implementing ways to manage house renovation costs effectively.
The series is produced by MGM Alternative. Gibson took to Instagram to confirm the series and express her excitement about bringing the audience along on this journey.
Key eco-friendly features of the project include the installation of an underground heat pump for energy efficiency, auto-flowing beehives to support local biodiversity, sustainable land management, efforts to grow food on-site to promote self-sufficiency, and a focus on harmonious co-existence with nature and wildlife on the property.
