Jazzy & Jack restoring a English country estate house
EP 1: Our little cottage in the English countryside 🇬🇧
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the first episode of Duncombe House Diaries on the TH-cam.
We're terribly excited to welcome you all into our peculiar little lives as we renovate our dream country home. Duncombe House was built over 200 years ago to house the former Estate Manager of the Calwich Abbey Estate and it is positively fizzing with history.
Unfortunately, after several years of un-inhabitation Duncombe House and her outbuildings are now in quite the state of disrepair leaving us with monumental amounts of renovation, restoration and rejuvenation to be getting on with as we venture to reinstate her as a magnificent country residence.
On top of all this, we have been left with room after room of priceless historical treasures representing some 200 years worth of hoarding. It's one of the purposes of this channel to share with you everything we find from antique pianos to photos of forgotten people.
Please do nourish us with your comments, ideas and most importantly your encouragement, we adore hearing from every single one of you!

Wah...I want a cottage 😅
Your commentary is delightful and had me smiling right off the bat. I do think I would collapse in a heap if I took on such an immensely challenging renovation myself. However, I applaud your enthusiasm and will feel quite proud of myself as I watch you work in my stead! Cheers!
"... in love with this captivating little money pit." 😂😂
As I am not a clock and neither Tic nor Tok, and I am not a Gram instant or otherwise, your drone crashing on my TH-cam feed was a complete surprise. Although my distainful blond dog was not impress, I was. To your list of possible future topics I say, yes please! I will be prepared in future with a proper cuppa when I sit down to watch.
So glad I found this channel
More Quincy!!!! 👏 And your lovely sarcastic comments 😂 It always brings joy. Interior design and the local history is also always such fun! Looking forward to next video.
Who wouldn’t want a flowerpot of keys? 🥰😍
Hello from Tennessee,this is comedy central and I loved.🥰 you got my vote ❤
This is great fun. I would be interested, along with the restoration of the buildings, in the history. And a ttfn to you and yours.
❤❤😂Omg I am absolutely loving this. Well done 😂❤❤❤
Very much hoping your health is on the up and up. I adored this. ADORED IT. Thank you for being so brilliant. x
Oh, this is going to be a fabulous journey! I am so delighted to have stumbled upon your channel. ❤
Not as half as delighted as we are to have you here, many thanks!
Just subscribed to follow along your journey! Watching from (almost) the centre of France 🇫🇷 Kim & Angelo
And we are almost in the center of England, such fun! Thankyou for your support 😊
This short video only needed the ominous music to make a trailer for a scarey movie! Can't wait to see your improvements make it a happy home once again 🌞
Look into masonry stoves. They can heat fairly large spaces depending on their size, are very fuel efficient, and compatible with old homes as long as you use all natural materials - incl for your insulation, window caulking, paint etc. standard fare for historic restoration projects.
This was the best intro for any youtube video I've ever watched!!! I will be following along with extreme excitement!
Well Mariah careful or you’ll make me blush, jolly good to have you on board
Brilliant keep up the good work.Eileen
Thank you so much Brian / Eileen
Exciting! Looking forward to watching every part of the renovation you can bear to film.
Having to film as well as renovate has been a steep learning curve there is no two ways about it
Oh thank you - it was so funny. I have to laugh a lot. For me it's absolutely the right way to tell and to film all about the house, the renovation, the history and the interieur....and Quincy and the cats. Greetings from Germany
Ich freue mich sehr, dich hier zu haben, Bettina, vielen Dank, dass du auf TH-cam dabei bist
After first finding you on IG, I am happy to see you here on YT. I really enjoy the longer format here. Love your quirky dialog along with all the historical finds and DIY. I look forward to this journey as a great distraction from the political turmoil currently in the USA. Cheerio!
Yes you have one or two things going on your side of the Atlantic don’t you, I hope we can provide some escapism, jolly good of you to follow us over onto the TH-cam
Well that was a laugh :D And it's only episode one. Love it!
If you’re laughing, we’re succeeding so jolly pleased to hear that
Yay fabulous 🎉 your on TH-cam 🥳 Tyvm! Looking forward to continuing watching your channel on here!
And we look forward very much to entertaining you as much as we can Vickie
Just recently found your channel. The narration is absolutely hilarious. Love it. Gives me a giggle each time I watch. Have a lovely rest of your week. 🙂
His over the top upper crust voice is hilarious. Plus the effrontery to develop cancer🤣🇺🇸
You’re telling me, how dare cancer knock on the door when I’m so busy, ludicrous effrontery indeed!
@ 🤣
What splendid narration, just the right amount of pith and cheek.
Pithy is far kinder than some assessments of how I speak so many thanks to you
Hi there from Canada..while the snow blows here I do like watching the restoration of irreplaceable buildings.which you have......the surprise was your absolutely funny dialogue of your introduction...omg when the drone hit the tree....priceless...you are going to be a video I will be looking forward too...yes I subscribed
Diane you treasure thankyou so much for your kind words! Yes the drone hasn’t been the same since sadly, we are far from expert videographers 😬😂
Hello from PEI 🇨🇦. Dec 11. I just found your channel. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!! Your humour is wonderful. Quincey is beautiful.
Thanks for subbing! Jolly good to have you here 😊
This is going to be fun!!!!!!!!!😁
Well Leslie I certainly hope so, catastrophic waste of money if it turns out not to be 😂😂
This adventure you have set upon will be delightful to watch. You will have challenges, but I know you, your wife, and Quincy are up to the challenge. Blessings to you. Take care. ❤
We will do our absolute utmost to face the challenge with style and aplomb!
Oui, j’aime bien vos histoires terriblement ennuyeuses 😀. Bon courage 🙂♥️🇧🇪
merci beaucoup Delwiche, c'est une joie absolue de vous avoir à bord
So happy I found you🎉 This is my dream home, endless treasures, beautiful house, land and out buildings❤I am excited to have you share your adventure with us ❤️
And Christy we are awfully excited to share it with you, thankyou for joining the DHD family
Just subscribed! Love your sense of humour and great introduction to your channel. Will be watching all your progress from Canada 🇨🇦
A very warm welcome to you all the way in Canada
Oh ... What utter joy ✨ Viennese biscuits & earl grey 🤣🥳🎈
Well Suze I’m glad you think so, Earl Grey hasn’t had much love so far so I appreciate your tea support!
The 2:38 colour is very similar to what we have in the only tiled room of the ruin we have started caring for. What a coincidence 😊
What a lovely coincidence! Jolly good to have a fellow renovator on board 😄
Delightful! looking forward to all your episodes, I'll love it all!
Thankyou you Shirley that’s terribly kind of you 😊
I'm in. I can sit here with my popcorn and do my favourite thing...........watch other people work and tell them how I could do it better if I weren't so lazy. This is gonna be fun.
Hahaha joyous 😂 I look forward to your sofa bound critiques, many thanks for joining us at DHD
So glad to see you on TH-cam! By the way the Duncombe House Diaries emblem and would make a great tshirt, just sayin.
Well we actually had some lovely Gilets made by a close friend of ours! You might be able to spy them in the video, maybe we should create a select like for sale?
🎉🎉🎉fab fab fab !!!!. Your video is divine!! Love your narration of the witty lines !!!! Thank you from Argentina
Argentina!! How fabulous thankyou for your support
That greenhouse is fabulous!
Without sounding arrogant, I absolutely agree with you it’s splendid! I can’t wait until the list of jobs gets small enough that I can put renovating it at the top of it 😊
@@DuncombeHouseDiaries I am sure you are quite busy over there, but just weeding it and replacing the glass will be a huge improvement when you can get to it!
This is such a wonderful find, i was so disappointed to click on your channel and see this was your first video. I want more! So glad youre enjoying the challenge and cant wait for the videos (give quincy a treat).
Well do not fear you’ve arrived at the perfect time because we are only just beginning, thankyou so much for your kind words 😄
I just came to min. 1:54 loved the introduction, subscribed and went to the comments, ok i am not the only one. Just love it, can't wait to see more. Love from Germany ❤
Danke Beebee your subscription is very much appretiated, welcome to the DHD family!
I am so looking forward to future videos! I love your sense of fun and desire to protect these amazing buildings.
We are certainly passionate about conservation and making this place fabulous once more. Thankyou so much for your support 😊
What an amazing journey you will have , and what treasures you will find , keep your sense of humour and you will sail through your adventure, good luck and best wishes.
Terribly kind of you Marina, thankyou so much for joining us
Where do you bother to lock the door when the window is broken! Lol can't they just reach inside the window and unlock it? At any rate, as usual... A good time was had by all! Greetings from America!
WOULD love TO HEAR YOUR BORING HISTORIES! WHERE CAN I WATCH UPDATE VIDEOS OF THE RESTORATION? SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!!! ANN JENSEN -TIPTON IOWA
Well more boring histories you shall have Ann Jenson-Tipton! Welcome to the mad house 😊
Cheers 🍻 ,hope your future there is very happy, healthy long 🎉❤
I was already enjoying this video immensely, but I think it was when you said "we have absolutely not a Scooby doo how to look after" about the gardens that I raced for the Subscribe button! Can't wait to follow along on your journey! And steal that expression!
@@christinat5226 well Christina it’s terrific sign that our incompetence was what made you subscribe but it’s one of the things we have in abundance!
Absolutely gorgeous house. Looking forward to sharing your journey, take care Tony here in the UK 🇬🇧 ❤
@@anthonydarby3973 welcome Tony it’s fantastic to have you along with us, we appreciate your time and support!
I am looking forward to see more of your renovation. As long as I don't have to drink Earl Grey Tea..... 😊
@@calypso4554 Earl Grey is by no means obligatory, we rejoice in all manner of tea proclivities
I want more of all of it, but especially the humor. I mean, this is kind of my dream channel. Hilarious commentary AND a beautiful, English cottage? 😮 Yes, please.
@@BuffytheRealSlayer good gracious Buffy you’re terribly kind (not to vampires) and we’re delighted to have you here
