Driving far to fast for country lanes . The problem is they want to turn beautiful old country houses into modern London homes . And totally destroy the character of inside these Cotswolds houses which are centuries old .
Yeah, I was wondering why they were going to all that effort to wreck the kitchen set up that looked awesome and had character. It's like he must have so much money that everything becomes cheap to him and he has no grounding. Everything was to be picked at some store, and they seemed to not really use their minds. I think a lot of these biulds is just knowing what you want and why and how to do it. If you know that, it could be exceptionally cheap or free. For having that woman for the kitchen, the kitchen sure was disjointed and unimpressive.
Ugh! I dearly hope the house they have ruined brings them as much misery to their lives as the have bestowed upon it. These are the type of people who make me embarrassed to be British.
Jeremy seems like a nightmare. How dare he drive with that dangerous speed! How dare he be so thoughtless about other people's time! And I wish them well but there seems to be no love/passion between Jeremy/Carol.
I was looking forward to the final showing, but the minute I saw that chandelier above the staircase.....UGH, I realised that they had no taste at all. So much lost character.
she's not even the wife yet, and says she doesn't want to be pushy, but demands that they reconfigure the whole cooker arrangement to suit her. I've never seen anybody put in a garden before the house is finished, yet he insisted on the garden, now it's all torn up. He blames it on not being on-site, yet couldn't they have just called him and gotten approval? He's making lots of dumb mistakes. Some people have more money than sense.
I have personally done 4 renovations in Sydney and a total build in Fiji. The thing that I have learned over the years doing those projects are that YOU Must be on site at least 90% of the time. Otherwise you end up with problems.. and it adds to the final costs
Jeremy was clueless as many people are when it comes to renovation. Once he had the sit down with the builder and went over the timeline needed and turned over control the project got going. Smartest move he could have made. Thankfully the fiancé helped tone down some of his more wild ideas for the decore. It looks like there is still lots of decorating to do so he can work in some bits he likes without going too overboard. Anyway in the end Jeremy got what he had always wanted a proper settled home! Hopefully these two will settle into country life nicely.
I hope he modifies his speed when he moves there. Those country lanes weren't made for that kind of driving. Slow down, You might end up in a ditch. Or put someone else there.
Yeah, this episode was depressing. Immediately after they started dating, she planned out for him to buy and renovate this expensive house for her. Poor guy.
First, I like how they are saving these old wonderful homes. However, the British tend to modernize the interiors without putting in the old world charm. There are ways to make a kitchen look old world, but still be modern. They don't do that. I guess it's because they live around so many "old" things, they crave what's new. Here in America, we want to bring back old world charm, but still make it functional.
A large number of people do exactly what you are saying which is great. Unfortunately this couple have no taste, no style and no idea what they are doing.
I’m sorry but you’re very wrong in that assumption. You are judging every single person in Britain on a few renovation shows (the majority of which date to between “2005-2010” here on TH-cam), and that couldn’t be further from the truth. First of all the people that actually “choose” to go on programmes like this are hardly your average everyday man/ woman… hence their seemingly warped sense of “perspective” (i.e. installing a garish kitchen within a 16th century cotswold home). And of course secondly, this all took place over a decade ago; so-called “modern” interiors such as this would certainly not be appealing to the majority in 2021. There are hundreds of thousands of historic houses in England, that not only look beautiful on the outside, but have retained wonderful character and charm on the inside. For example I live in a 600 year old half-timbered cottage in Eastern England, and still have original beams, flagstone flooring, fireplaces etc - as do almost all other medieval/ Tudor properties within my village. Another thing to remember is that anything with an important historic interior will be *heavily* listed (i.e. you are unable to change a single thing and anything you do change has to be done with an authentic artisan technique). The building in this programme, although 16th century, did not possess anything (internally) of note - although of course they should still have been sympathetic to its history in their choice of interior decoration! My guess is that the only thing listed within that property was its exterior (which is beautiful and typical of the region), therefore they could not alter external things such as the windows, but were given free reign to decorate the interior however they saw fit (without actually destroying anything of architectural note of course). Believe me we definitely do not “crave modern” either. We greatly respect and cherish our historic architecture; hence why we have so much remaining.
Loved reading the comments then fast forward to the last few minutes to spare myself this train wreck of an episode. George looked rather nice though 😃
These women really know what they are doing and these men deserve what is coming to them ! House , tick, Wife, tick, Labrador, tick ,,, 2.5 kids, tick, divorce, tick ,,
My old great aunt Mabel ( true!) Said to me at seventeen to watch out " all they want is your money and a bit if how's your father ":).oh how true ..( mostly money haha ) learnt big lessons but still love them :)
I've never renovated a house before, but I do know that you don't plant the garden while the builders are still on site!! What a silly thing to do, and then get upset over!
you should decide because it's very much your room but then the lady turns around and says she does not like it. She is not even married to this dude and he is already whipped.
What a dreadful couple. I could not finish watching the program. They deserve each other. Not sure they deserve the house. Money will not buy you class.
@@maggiesue4825 You need to realise that most of the shows you are watching are over a decade old, and therefore possess slightly different values to ours in 2021.

Ah men, bless em. I would not start anything without the project being signed off. It is disrespectful to be this cavalier with other professionals. As for the kitchen lintel all they had to do was set it back a few inches so she did not bump her head reaching for her pots on the back burner! The buck stops with Jeremy! And then expect them to prioritise the work when he has caused them to stand around for months? Not a balanced argument at all. Cannot think how he performs as a CFO. Ah men 🙏
Jesus Christ. I skipped middle part because I just don`t have stomach for this sort of people and folks who did houses on this program with 20 000 -60 000 did better job then this two...or one.
Terrible decision to chop down those trees! Why? Trees capture CO2, crucial in our century. They provided a costless barrier/fence and provide that calming greenery to the eyes as well as block prying eyes from gazing at the house. He did it because he could, because he wanted to show he has the money and to make other people who walk by notice the house, and envy him!
This is my first episode of Build a New Life...I enjoyed it more than Clarke's Restoration Man. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see the house finished (decorated). However, I can understand their desire to "do it together" as a couple!💗...I suppose.😉
EEEEK! Those identical-looking coffin effigies, laying on their sides, heads propped on elbows, all in a precarious way that my first thought was a troupe of acrobats. At 04:50.
Hard to tell how much of this was staged for drama. The whole series is like that. I've stopped believing anything about the people and only look at the houses. You can't tel a house to pitch a hissy fit or drive too fast for effect.
That guy drives like a ...... oh, hes a BMW driver!!!! Driving like that..... clearly not watching out for children or animals in the village, especially with no foot paths and clearly ignores signage and speed limits. You can take the man out of the street but you cant take the street out of the man!!! Should have also known a bit about the CDM Building Regulations.
At least she kept him from turning the place into a Casbah. A color blind owner and a crystal chandelier obsessed wife - that poor house never was going to be a restoration with any integrity.
Everybody take a moment to look at yourselves, no ones perfect how would you react on caméra. I personally would nt be on camera. You can édit a piece to give completely différents point of view
Enough said about this man in other comments about his attitude. In my eyes a very lousy project manager where it comes to his own house, doesn't show his face in the beginning at all, plans work in wrong order (garden!), changes mind all the time, seems to set other peoples input aside and finally starts to complain when thing don't turn out as he liked. And finally has to throw the towel in the ring and pass managing over to someone else who gets it done in no time. Money clearly hasn't be an issue, the house has been extended since this series had been made, and a large modern (Aaarrrgh) conservatory added, looked it up on Maps.
One thing I noticed is that she said she was a plumber's daughter from someplace, and as an American I find that weird. Haha On this Home Restoration show there was a woman who married a rich guy and she described herself as a plumber's daughter too....so I guess, watch out for those plumber daughters. Maybe their mums told them to marry a rich guy and not a guy that is touching toilets all day and can eat a sandwich off one. The places those hands have been must mess up women folk. Hahaha
So sad.....they’ve lost the integrity of the house. It seemed cold...no comfortable flow with the design or colors. Perhaps it will change when they move in. Homes are meant for family, so I’m sure it will be much better.
25:10 future gold digging wife has arrived onsite and "wants to be involved." (ugghh!!!) She wants to change things and doesn't even know how much it will cost or how it affects the building schedule, it's all about her!! They need to make signs that say; "No women allowed on the construction site!!"
Driving far to fast for country lanes . The problem is they want to turn beautiful old country houses into modern London homes . And totally destroy the character of inside these Cotswolds houses which are centuries old .
Jane Marett sad, sad, sad. They have butchered the character of this house. No historical appreciation. UGH!!!
Lordy that interior designer was very diplomatic about that mess!
Ghastly man driving at a really inappropriate speed down that country lane
First thing I picked up on. Typical arrogant city dweller...
I came to make the same comment.
They've completely taken away all character from the inside! What on earth! And the original fireplace lintel!
well, what would you expect? not only he is driving bmw but also speeding.
Yeah, I was wondering why they were going to all that effort to wreck the kitchen set up that looked awesome and had character. It's like he must have so much money that everything becomes cheap to him and he has no grounding. Everything was to be picked at some store, and they seemed to not really use their minds.

Only an idiot plants a garden before the plumbing and other construction is finished. He was begging for it to be torn up.
If he drove that BMW like that in the vicinity of our village ,he would very quickly find it with a brick thru the screen or his tyres shot out!.
You don't live in Luton, do you?
Quite right.
Love it! Just what the guy needs!
Ugh!
I dearly hope the house they have ruined brings them as much misery to their lives as the have bestowed upon it. These are the type of people who make me embarrassed to be British.
Jeremy seems like a nightmare. How dare he drive with that dangerous speed! How dare he be so thoughtless about other people's time! And I wish them well but there seems to be no love/passion between Jeremy/Carol.
These have been a dew episodes where the couple are just awful and you want to see a divorce.
I was looking forward to the final showing, but the minute I saw that chandelier above the staircase.....UGH, I realised that they had no taste at all. So much lost character.
perfect pair, obnoxious prat and his gold digger
plus the obnoxious architect that no one hired aka the show host
I'm glad it wasn't just me feeling that way
They are divorced
nadia c thing called Facebook
They don't have two clues. From inside the house to the garden just no class.
she's not even the wife yet, and says she doesn't want to be pushy, but demands that they reconfigure the whole cooker arrangement to suit her. I've never seen anybody put in a garden before the house is finished, yet he insisted on the garden, now it's all torn up.

He has bad taste.
He is a narcissist and she is a gold digger “bebop” both with no taste. Who takes the character out of such a gorgeous house?
Working for Jeremy must be a frustrating nightmare. I am only half way through, and I just can't watch it anymore.
16th century building, I'm assuming not listed?
so it's OK to rip out an original fireplace lintel?
I would have left well alone. 💕
I hated to see that hedge go! Privacy is priceless. And those trees were old and beautiful. Sigh. 😔
Susan Pratt they want to “show off” the house. Forget environmental impact of cutting down all of those gorgeous old growth trees!
Let's not beat about the bush here. That couple are an absolute nightmare.
liberals
geeze Carol give him 1 room to his liking, what a control freak. & Ive have kept the fireplace @ the bedroom.
I have personally done 4 renovations in Sydney and a total build in Fiji.
The thing that I have learned over the years doing those projects are that YOU Must be on site at least 90% of the time. Otherwise you end up with problems.. and it adds to the final costs
driving like a prat,on country lanes.
I thought the same! Glad to see that someone else had the same.

It looked better before they got their hands on it.
I hope he modifies his speed when he moves there. Those country lanes weren't made for that kind of driving. Slow down, You might end up in a ditch. Or put someone else there.
Wow, it must be fun decorating the house you are not paying for.
Carole: Don't like it..
Jeremy:This then?
Carole: You should choose as it's your decision
Jeremy:ok I'll do this one then
Carole: Dreadful...
Dangerous driver (2:06) Not the German Autobahn.
Stoopid city dwellers with no idea or respect for the country.
That's the point I was turned off and tuned out. Don't need to watch anymore.
Carrie F same here
I understand the need for a home. Army father, moved about every 13 months for years. Now on 33 move in 58 years.
The calmness iof the primary bedroom n lovely!
it is the second video i watch and same feeling : all the history of these cottages, all the romantism of these places are gone ....
I'd be fascinated to see if they're still together:)oh and now the house has zero character ,why would you do that ?
Pity there is about 5 minutes missing from the start of this episode.
I love these project remodels - taking derelict older homes and breathing fresh life and air into them. :)
Soon as it's done, she'll kick him out and file for divorce :)
snap!
Yeah, this episode was depressing. Immediately after they started dating, she planned out for him to buy and renovate this expensive house for her. Poor guy.
Not keen on the girlfriend... she really takes over.
I shudder to think how overbearing she becomes when there are no cameras around.
Typical in the modern Feminist Western nations. She is the General and head. He the private and errand boy.
@@ldodom right! For Gods sake give the chap his Moroccan bedroom... how selfish that she won't even give hm that...and he is paying for it all!!!!

These two are something special
Boy ! She sure has taken charge now that he will marry her !
I think he's driving a bit speedy!😊
A bit!!!
@@irisheyesofbelfast I know and that road is so narrow for two lanes! Scary..
1920/1930 lanes. You have to drive like a snail on roads like that narrow.
Money doesn't come with sense.
Yep, definitely a BMW driver.
Loved reading the comments then fast forward to the last few minutes to spare myself this train wreck of an episode. George looked rather nice though 😃
Was she at th Soho House for her girls night in Istanbul??

Um is this a part 2? This seemed like it started in the middle.
I've never renovated a house before, but I do know that you don't plant the garden while the builders are still on site!! What a silly thing to do, and then get upset over!
Why do I feel like I started this story in the middle? Is there a part 1?
you should decide because it's very much your room but then the lady turns around and says she does not like it. She is not even married to this dude and he is already whipped.
Owner is a 12 year old child.
Hilarious @1:45 a woman who wont be spending 5 minutes actually preparing a meal, insists she must have kitchen perfection.
Next! Can't watch this one.
What a dreadful couple. I could not finish watching the program. They deserve each other. Not sure they deserve the house. Money will not buy you class.
“It’s SMAAAAHLL BIER...” Yes, you are DREAHDFUL ....
Haha we did ,ln the 80s Leylandi trees were popular ,we planted a row of them ,We didn’t know they would get so big ,
IF my memory serves me well ,Swinbrook is the village where the Duchess of Devonshire ( nee the mitford sisters) were brought up.
Lasted two minutes and turned it off, what a bell end driving like that, with a bit of luck he's wrapped his BMW round a decent sized oak tree.
Aw I hope they are very happy
I give them a year and a half
gorgeous house. bland interiors. bland couple but they seem to suit and I do hope they will be happy in their privilege.
I see this over and over in British makeovers. What's wrong with the old architecture? Sure, you want to update, but obliterate? No thanks.

hahah can you imagine cleaning all those crystals on the lamps.. hahhahaahah
They probably can afford someone else to clean it. :DDD
I wonder how many of these couples who build/renovate/restore/remodel etc....are still together and if they’ve been able to keep the home

Omen. Don't marry Carol!! Run!
Jeremy has bad taste.
In is that in women or style, or both, I'd go with both.
George looks so young !
Something to be said about a dwelling that is already complete and ready to purchase. However this is a mess of a build. Breakdown of communications!
He should not marry her they are not compatible, he will come to regret it.
AWFUL MAN!!!
EEEEK! Those identical-looking coffin effigies, laying on their sides, heads propped on elbows, all in a precarious way that my first thought was a troupe of acrobats. At 04:50.
Wanting to move to the Cotswolds because of all its "charm and character" then completely ignoring it when refurbishing a house there!!!
One of the better episodes...I love what they have done with the house!!! Congratulations and enjoy y'alls new home...❤👏❤👏❤
Hope they cleansed the house from the nonsense left behind by the "spiritualist".
Hard to tell how much of this was staged for drama. The whole series is like that. I've stopped believing anything about the people and only look at the houses. You can't tel a house to pitch a hissy fit or drive too fast for effect.
George is looking rather attractive in this vid.
He looks like my brother so I dont see it.
judyjudy51 He is seriously hot😍
I'd have the house 'cleansed' before moving in. Spiritualists have a way of opening doors to unwanted guests.
I see what you mean
He could have at least put a little posy on her stone that would have been nice.
