    I love seeing people restore old buildings and castles. they do not make buildings like they used to, the history, the architecture, nothing today really compares, we should be restoring and saving more than we do, its a shame they're too often left to rot.

    @lemondrizzlecake7766 4 роки тому +33

    The build is quite impressive, and the bedrooms turned out nice for how little light they have, but I'm a little underwhelmed at the main floor's decor. There was so much more potential in those gorgeous spaces, I don't think the wall colours chosen and the furnishing do them justice.

      As I watch more and more of these shows the Trust can choose to sell it to someone else. Not sure but if they who are the conservatoire a grand house and castle can put it available for auction like all the other historical buildings that are falling down. Just hope if that happens he can sell this one as a profit and afford the other buildings.

    Delightfully creative. So many paradigms set aside. No wonder George found it so exciting. Deep pockets and fine management skills rule the “roost”. Hopefully the bats are managed properly so they haven’t caused health problems for their new neighbors. Synergy is expected and probably found in the current situation. Any follow up for viewers?

    This may be a sacrilege, but when I see all these ancient stately family mansions with their moldy stone facades, I desperately want to pressure wash them and bring them back to the smooth, clean look they had when they were new. How truly glorious were they at the start? We’ll never know, because it’s not done. Today we seem to enjoy the visual of seeing their age instead. My OCD disagrees.🙃

    Does the UK not have regulations regarding the minimum size of bedroom windows for the purpose of egress? Those windows are looking a little small. I don't see why for safety they couldn't have been allowed to make them a little bigger without compromising the 'look' of the building.

      Apparently the planners said no even though it isn't listed. Planners Rule!

    I thought the issue about the bats was a joke, but clearly not.
    I can not believe these commissions concern themselves with trifling like this and yet no concern is given to the homeless, destitute, elderly, children, schools etc
    House is beyond gigantic and hope the family can pass it on from one generation to another

      Yeah if bats are valued above an Englishman with money, you have to wonder how poor people or people of color fit into that hierarchy.

    I love your programmes George ,they are really enlightening, but please ask the film makers to turn the music down, it drowns your voice a lot of the time.

    Incredibly sad they make these shows and say things like "for when their children come home from University." Just be honest and say its a rental. A quick google search shows its never been a "family home" its a rental at nearly 5k Quid a week. No one cares, just be honest.

      might be because of permits. Why do a show like this, if not for free advertisement.

      That bothered me as well. You go on TV and tell a giant lie? Is that how you want the world to see you, as liars?

      Thanks for the clarification! I could NOT figure out why they “cheated” the kitchen if she was going to be living there. Makes sense its a rental.

    Do they have someone come in and clean the bat poo from the attic floor?

      I should imagine from what I could gather, that it will be isolated as not to disturb the bats. Therefore, any mess will stay in the area put aside for them.
