I love the cottage renovation! George Clarke did an awesome home. The kitchen and dining space looked so beautiful. I’m not sure why but he definitely nailed that one!!!
Hello, from America, MR. Clark , I really love your style. Sadly though my mile high city, Denver CO lost the home and lifestyle channel "DABIL" 4.3 on the over the air free attendance, other race ? based programing 😢 BUT Joy for joy your shows do appear here on TH-cam SO Please do keep preforming YOUR magic Thank you! 🎉
I like a mix of yellow, red and blue in the master bedroom. It looks fantastic ❤ I hope they will be happy there but as for me I need another house with higher ceilings 😂 George added wonderful historical pictures on the lamp, great idea!
Bexhill-on-Sea is where Spike Milligan (Father of modern comedy / writer of The Goons) was first posted to The 56th Heavy Artillery, Royal Artillery, during WW2.
I think I would have gone with a two seater sofa in the front room so there could be room for boots and coats? Or maybe a space under the staircase? Not sure where they plan to hang their coats?
the workers cottage...lovely, but i'm sorry, that main bedroom is a let down...i would have had the brass bed in there, and while i love color, i think that i would have had it with really rich wallpaper color in pale but intricate design, and then something deep and rich for the bed; a peacock blue green, and modern lighting in brass. Also as nice as a roll top bath is, i'd have just had a shower, pushing it toward the window; allowing for more storage and a better flow from the doorway they made.
The toilet cistern some 10' above the toilet (32:30) isn't just unnecessary form over any sort of function but asinine - it adds nothing at all but is a disaster waiting to happen, on a possibly regular basis - it's so close to the roof (35:24), for no reason at all, that it's impossible to even look down into the cistern for any repairs or just to clean it. Worse than pointless as there wasn't any "more space" by putting it there, as the toilet was far enough away from the wall to have fitted any close-coupled cistern behind it. Bad very basic design.
It is a little to high. It would have been easier to get to if it was placed just above the new beams. Still give the the look they were after but easier to get to when you need to
Hello George. Could I ask if you have the info for the bed/desk that was used in this episode. I need this for my house. Thank you for your great program I love watching them and find them so inspirational!👏🏼👏🏼
The re-designed layout of the Gde 2 listed cottage was little better than the original. No downstairs bathroom, which would have been very easy to include and get approval for, and still only one bathroom for the house, only accessible through one or other of the upstairs bedrooms. Instead of a "second spare bedroom or study", still only accessible through the first spare bedroom, that room would have been a perfect en-suite bathroom for the spare bedroom, while the "wasted cupboard space" which is now just totally wasted space as bathroom access would have been a perfect built-in wardrobe for the spare bedroom - which now has no room for a wardrobe at all. All with no walls knocked down, so simpler planning permission. It doesn't "work like a treat" - better planning would have added maybe 50% to the value of the house at minimal extra cost. It was a really, really terrible, inexcusably bad bit of planning.
So, this is where 'progress', 'growth' has got us in 200 years to 2024: A professional can afford a run down cottage, originally provided to estate workers. Mortgage lending needs to be restricted to the depreciated cost of buildings, fantasy valuations of old and new properties just deliver £ billions to developers, landbankers, landlords and boomers who bought pre 1995. We need planning regulations to require minimum sized rooms floor area, plots, parking, private gardens. Mortgages tied to a property, no new lending.
You can't know people's lives of course, but why would you live in a double-storey house if you've a kid in a wheelchair?? I wonder if they were secretly planning to sell the place...
Terible planning on the worker's cottage - Let's hope that woman has no clothes as there is NO storage upstairs when it would have been logical to make a walk in leading to that overly large (for a cottage) bathroom).
The Victorian workers cottage was masterful - that's why we could all do with a George Clarke to design our renno! Thanks for sharing
yes wouldn't it be brilliant....he has such good ideas
Another outstanding renovation! I loved that you incorporated that old photo into a lamp shade
George changes rags to riches. Loving the series.
WOW! Lovely families with amazing renovations. The cottage is so beautiful; they will have the time of their lives there. Truly inspiring.

I believe that trap door may have been put there to let heat rise from downstairs to the upstairs

that bathroom looks great, but I hope that high tank commode top doesn't ever leak...it'll ruin the walls/floors way up there.
I hope the plumber is not afraid of heights 😂
Love it.... them.
As soon as i saw the trap door I thought LAUNDRY SHOOT 😁

@Lea-bw9wj It's form over any form of function or for any reason. Bad design doesn't get much worse.
Yes yes 🙌

Is that a coffin drop?
