Inside Richard Hammond’s timeless private clubhouse!

You may have seen snippets of it in past videos, but Richard now gives us a full tour of his private barn/clubhouse that has been a project of his for the past few years. Predictably, motorbikes have started to invade the space!

My dad sold you the katana 1000 a few years ago. He was so smug to tell us all that you were buying it. It’s so nice to see it as almost a centre piece to your room. He passed in Nov 2021 and absolutely adored the GSX series. Especially the katanas. He would be over the moon to see it on here

I just love how he keeps some of the items from his top gear days like those gt3 oven mitts that Jeremy gave him

I enjoy the idea that Richard's spaces are constantly being invaded by sentient motorcycles. Like, imagine he's at work and we cut to security camera footage of his barn here; a lone wild motorcycle peeks into the barn through an open door, then cautiously enters, followed by another wild motorcycle, then another, then another, and they start wandering about, checking out their new home, then Hammond returns home to find a new herd of wild motorcycles have moved in.

My jaw dropped when I saw the GT3 branded oven cloves. My life flashed thru my eyes literally all the memories all the long challenges, the christmas specials like Botswana, Bolivia, Source of the Nile, Iraq, India, all the tours in eurooe, Ukraine, Romania, Albania, Spain, Vietnam, all the challenges like saving Hammond in Canada, Lorries, 1970s convertibles, hot hatches, etc etc. I am speechless. It is all coming back to me.

Drain the hot tub / pool (to get rid of the moisture) and have a carpenter build you a sectioned cover for it (so that it can be put in / taken out in pieces) and a ramp (maybe one which is movable). Then put the bikes on it, as if it were a short plinth or just a raised display area. You could even have him build in uplighting like you have in the main barn, with each section having a plug, rather than being hardwired into the building. Easily reversible if you ever want and the only cost would be to build the covers.

Loved the tour. For the swim spa, how about draining the water, put some protective coverings and then build the model train room there. You could use the depth of the pool to create a "valley". Something like a swiss village and the back walls could be built like the mountains with tunnels and a small access way behind which could double as train storage on vertical racks along the back wall "inside the mountain. Trains could be at all different heights allowing for multiple runs. Then turn the other room which would have been the train room in the the bike room. The swiss village would be a great concept for winter / holiday times when more people are inside.

It's so kind of Hammond to be housing all the stray motorcycles :)

I was Grand Tour Paramedic on the set. Richard was kind, friendly, informative fellow.

Richard is such a creative guy. Great to see his passion in this clubhouse. I have just finished watching The Grand Tour Season 5, and had such great fun!

[TheLazyLabrador]

This guy’s a natural narrator, he should do a tv show or something.

[Moshington]

Yes a model railway with James May and Mike coming with the crew to make content for What Next.

7:50 As an Arquitect, I would empty the "pool" ( for lack of better word) and instead of cutting it in pieces, just make a wooden floor (podium/orlop) on top of it with two ramps right after ther entrance doors... I image that height clearence would still be enough and once everything is dried, there would be no moisture to ruin either the floor or the bikes, and you would still have the pool to value the house if you wante to sell the house or just use it in the future (taking out the bikes to somewhere else).

I must say Hammond has one of the nicest properties/houses I have ever seen

[nothinghere]

It's great to see that Hammond still uses his GT3 branded driving gloves 👏

[Keth]

Well done Richard. Quite beautiful, but also the light, the materials used...the oak, and the light streaming in. Such energy in your clubhouse. Amazing.

[andreasekart]

If the model railway features a Jag pulling several Caravans, then absolutely yes!

[jackhorsley]

You can tell how grateful and proud he is of the barn but while still remaining humble, fully deserved for being one of Britain's best TV entertainers for decades! That kawasaki is beautiful! Staiano bike shop is still going strong in Harrogate cool that he gave a shoutout

[GrahamTruman]

Congratulations Richard and crew for having "Richard Hammonds Workshop" renewed for a 3rd season, I can not wait to see it.

[anthonyhett]

What a place. You know you’ve done alright when your “clubhouse” is bigger than most actual houses.

[wightangel]

Richard has never taken it for granted about his career. He is still grounded and that is why he is so loved.
