The house at 9:20 reminds me of what happened to my childhood home that I lived in for close to a decade. The renters after we had it cut down all of my mother's carefully tended plants and trees, including a rare type of rhododendron we had to leave behind as it'd grown too big to move. Then it sold, and the new owners immediately tore out EVERYTHING. They painted the entire interior beige, tore out all the brand new flooring and the nice counters we'd chosen, for beige carpet and fake beige granite-look counters. They'd then put up absolutely dreadful wallpaper in all of the bathrooms. I saw a listing for it years later, as the cover on a realty flyer (usually reserved for houses that can't sell), and it just looked awful. I felt really terrible about it. We'd had to renovate as renters, because the house had been all but falling apart, and our transformation of it was so beautiful. The landlord really appreciated what we'd done, because he was blind, elderly, and obviously could not do it himself. It took my entire childhood to accomplish and was done carefully, not carelessly. The current owners went one step further and painted all of the beautiful woodwork white, as last I'd heard.
I feel for you, but I am still laughing at "The landlord really appreciated what we'd done, because he was blind". I have poor vision myself, so it made sense! I have a couple of rhododendrons here in Australia, but they are only common, like me.
My grandpa sold his place for 300k. He'd lived there for 30 years and the appliances were probably even older, plus one of the bedrooms was covered in cat piss/poo after taking in the local stray. (He was very scared at first but ended up being such a good sweet boy, RIP Trampy ❤) (Yes my grandpa named him Tramp) The realty people did some much needed updating and were able to sell it for 700k iirc? The buyer loved it, was so excited. We saw that it was listed as a probate sale just a year or two later, meaning that he must have died. Poor guy, he was nice and only in his 20s-30s. He'd decorated it really cool too. Then, god.. whoever bought it turned the detached garage into a separate house, adding a second floor and expanding it out into where the absolutely LOVELY garden had been. So then they were able to sell ~two~ 800-900k houses for buying just one. Fucking appalling, it's haunted me for years and years and I've sworn that, if I ever get mega-rich somehow, I'm buying it back and reverting every last change they made no matter how expensive it'd be. I don't even care if I end up wanting to live somewhere else, I'd preserve it as a museum like the girl from Interstellar did with the farmhouse. Fuck.
@@paulperry7091Uk here! Rhodedendrons are actually a big problem in our nearby woods- they were planted to line driveways of manor houses, but spread to local woods, where they’re an endangered species. Now the wood is naught but trees and rhodedendron (rather than supporting the many ferns and bushes it should), as an overpopulation of deer eat most of the native stuff. That being said, they are absolutely beautiful, especially when flowering
"It's avant-garde" No, you just ran out of cash to finish the construction. I really like that witch house. Could definitely see myself living there but it's probably hella expensive.
That pool in the conservatory, seems perfect, because conservatories get really warm, and pools tend to be cold, but the glass roof would heat that pool up naturally, ive never wanted a conservatory more in my life, with a pool of course haha
I feel a bit like the opposite, the heated up space feel like it would feel really muggy and nasty in there, like a sauna but not as enjoyable, though I guess they've equipped it with AC.
@@Lewtable yeah i gotta say, whenever I've been to an indoor swimming pool, I always find it hard to get a good breath in, though its not a massive building like an indoor swimming pool, you could just have the doors and windows open when you finally take a dip
@@Lewtable I also don't know how anyone enjoys a sauna for the same reasons, I dont get why people want to sit in a ridiculously hot room where you struggle to breath Though tbh, I hate hot weather in general, a conservatory pool would bring me round though
@@gazwilliams-nc7jp Saunas are definitely hit or miss for a lot of people, in Finland where it originates it is supposed to be more of a social thing. But I'm an ice bath type of person so I'm definitely not in a position to judge. 😄 The only reason I say "saunas but less enjoyable" is because in my experience Saunas are best with fairly dry heat, but the conservatory style with glass roof and a pool feels like it would be very humid.
@@Lewtable yeah but you forget conservatories have doors and windows usually, so you could get it warmed up in the sun, and when you use the pool, just open everything, let a draft in Its that horrible dry heat I cant stand, I walked in a sauna once and was like "So This is a sauna is it?.. why i thought this would be enjoyable I have no clue... bye everyone" Haha
American houses aren’t made to last and that’s sick to me. Imagine having a housing crisis in America and you can’t even inherit a house from your parents because it’s dilapidated now. Use brick bruh💀
@@rossco7214 Your point? Hot places like Texas aren't the entire US so houses made to last using things like brick would be great for many in many other states and they would last for several generations, especially the northern states where they get lower temperatures and could appreciate a house built to keep in the heat and then it's not uncommon for A/C in the US which would help these people during hotter weather.
I mean, school shootings are “self”-inflicted (pro-gun people putting their (fellow citizen) children through all that) nonsense so… the US in general is a joke for the rest of the world…
10:04 The sheet metal - more correctly corrugated iron - interior decorating craze hit Australia a couple of decades ago and mercifully lasted only six months. Surprisingly easy to dent it, impossible to fix.
I saw a brilliant UK one the other day in Portsmouth. The interior was pristine... and obviously decorated by Barbra Cartland. It was so fabulous for a semi daydreaming of being a castle! I love looking at these kind of things. The human race never ceases to amaze me I love the diversity of decor!
To be fair, the person who decorated the pink house at least managed to paint everything the same shade of pink. If you like pink, it’s probably pretty cool
5:28 that house must be so fucking hot in the summer/ cold in the winter, theres literally just two planks of wood separating the outside from the inside 😭 its basically a shed
The house with all the cabinets used to belong to a retirement home for clergy, and before that, it used to belong to a doctor who had people stay in his home afaik! It's kind of famous online.
If it wasn't in America, and wasn't essentially made of cardboard I would snatch up the pink Barbie house in a heartbeat and would barely change a thing 💖💖💖
George id love you to look at nostalgic cbbc shows from when we were kids, been going down the rabbit whole recently and alot of the weird shows i thought were just fever dreams are actually just as weird as i remember
not the rest of america, just in the tumour country (: 385 so far this year in US schools alone and canada had 2 mass shootings in total (one in a residential neighbourhood & one at a soccer game after school), mexico I can’t find any, and idk about the rest of america
tbh if you had a bunch of furniture in there, the witch house could be sick. It needs so decoration and maybe the garden needs some work but i see alot of potential
5:35 you've mistaken avant-garde for brutalist lmao it's cheap and shitty, something brutalist architecture tried to pass off as honest and classy which ended up just looking shit xD
5:25 Honestly I kind of love it, and the whole concept of a house being an unabashed construction not all gussied up with paint and corduroy ceiling tiles or whatever weird stuff it is people do to cover up their houses. I love exposed wood and those beams without all the panels really opens up the room. Wood comes with texture, color, variety, character, and life, but for some reason everyone feels the need to strip all that away just to try and approximate it later with paint, wallpaper, more paint, random trinkets, and sometimes even the ultimate insult: fake wood. It feels to me like stripping the bark off a tree and painting it to look like plastic
I was so confused as a kid watching people punch through / dent walls in American TV shows and movies and then I learnt that they are big fans of drywall and wood
We've seen the expensive houses. Now have a look at the cheapest houses on Rightmove. Some of the cheapest stuff I found was a small terrace house on the Isle of Bute with some planks of wood in it and a small field in another part of Scotland. Both were under £10,000.
that school building could make 12 massive luxury apartments, why aren't people jumping to buy it at that ridiculously low price ? must be a zoning thing because that's a steal !
All of the old schools here are filled with asbestos and lead! We have several grant programs available for fixing them up. It’s much more cost-effective (by several million dollars) to fix than to tear them down.
I'd unironically love to live in the first house. Which is kinda funny because it doesn't fit the way I dress, act or present in the slightest, I just genuinely love the vibe.

I like how George's description of a house looking like "a very bad brothel" makes him sound like a connoisseur of brothel interior design
He’s a man of culture
He probably went up to Soho once or twice 😜🤣
@@missjenkenz beat me to it 😂
5:10 george mispronouncing sheetrock 3 times in a row is the best part of this video
think he might have had a stronk, sure he said warg's instead of walls right after too
sheet rock ❌
shee trock ✔️
He really isn’t beating the dyslexic allegations
I love that there genuinely seems to be no one running quality control on his channel. Makes his vids wayyy more entertaining.
him also not knowing what a basement is (2:05) as well as reading 15' as 15 inches wide and not knowing what yards are (12:00) 🤣

exactly especially when some areas have hurricanes, just build places to last and you will save so much money-
they're built for the weather. do you know how fucking hot it would be to have a brick house in places like Texas? you'd die
Americans building their houses out of wood and being surprised that they keep burning down in summer is crazy to me
@@rossco7214 bro we have brick houses here in saudi and its hotter then the sun. ifs literal 45-50 degress all summer. GET A DAMN AC

this prompted me to go on rightmove to look at houses i want but will never have and now i'm sobbing cheers george xx
12:00 The Victorian house is called a shotgun house. It’s meant to allow more houses in a small amount of space

Where in Portsmouth did you see this?
“Shreetrawk” is just something else, George 😂 Oh lord and not getting 15 feet right 🫠
George being a generally knowledgeable man but not knowing how to pronounce sheetrock is so funny
idk where you got 'generally knowledgeable' from tbh
To be honest I don't think it's a word in the UK, I'm in my thirties and never heard of sheetrock in my life.
As an australian i have no fucking clue what a sheetrock is
11:36 looks like the type of house people build when they first start playing Sims lol

Trock is usually male. Obviously in this case it is the female version.

We're not in America --- we call them "walls".

Are you a house?

the neighbourhood too 😍
Bro recognised the house in the thumbnail actually looked good and changed it 💀
It’s always a good day when George references doctor who
4:18 looks like a gravity falls location lmao
Love the witch house, looks really cute. But imagine how cold that "avant-garde" house gets in winter and stuff, with no insulation??
7:19 this would have different implications in America George 💀

or a preschool
13:45 even the camera threw up
whens the next supermarket simulator 🧐🧐
thing for the 1st, that person made that to be what they wanted as their dream house but sadly had to downscale
9:06 This house design is perfect for someone who wants to live like a monarch.

Most of these houses are amazing. Also classic japanese wood walls with beutiful single piece sheets are great.
that school building could make 12 massive luxury apartments, why aren't people jumping to buy it at that ridiculously low price ?
must be a zoning thing because that's a steal !

The "witch" didn't seem cursed IMO, but definitely some Baba Yaga vibes. The cabinet house is my favourite
The house without sheet rock (plasterboard) is nuts, any time you touch the chipboard you'd be getting splinters.
