In the Netherlands you pay 1000 euro for a 10 sqaure meter room without sanitary facilities.... the poor people now have less luxury than the slaves at the chateau at that time.. most rich people nowadays get rich from squeezing poor people ...llike the did in the middleages till begin 1900's .. . they are in a good position themselves and those who work for them live for 1000 euros a month in a room of 10 square meters ......... .. so that the money they earn keeps coming back to the rich in a circle... the poor become poor, the rich become richer by squeezing poor people. remember that when you watch this video. And as much as I appreciate that old buildings are being restored, this does not have to be at the expense of the poorest in this world. zei ik net
Impressive restoration. I was disappointed at first to see the building turned into a single-use vacation rental. Then I remembered the building's original use as a "folly" for rich people to have picnics. So a vacation rental property isn't too far from its original use.
I really like it that Landmark Heritage Trust properties are vacation lets, this helps provide income for their continuing upkeep and encouraging future projects to preserve and put into use historical projects. Without a modern practical use and way of helping support themselves, historical properties will at some time in the future start getting neglected. But if they are helping pay their way, or even better, helping contribute to the Trust on top of their own upkeep costs, then preserving can grow and continue
It's lovely to know that there are still people who respect their own history. There isn't a civilization on planet Earth that has not committed acts that they should now be ashamed of. We evolve as we become more enlightened and history is there as a reminder to those who might be tempted to go backwards. If that is erased, there is the ever-present danger of backsliding to the primordial ooze.
Well said, as a race, the human race, it is imperative that we know our history, regardless of how “good” or “bad”. To turn our collective backs on history is dooming us to repeat it not learn from it.
I am staying here in the New Year and couldn't be more excited! Hide and Seek in the concealed kitchen, anybody? ;-) Massive love to The Landmark Trust for all you do.
All those artisans who worked on that home to bring it back to life. I hope they get a chance (and can afford) to stay there for rest & relaxation too.
Excellent research lends to a beautiful restoration, love the care and concern for preservation. I would have liked to see more of the period furnishings, in the bed frame and chairs, and tables, one doesn't have to install priceless antiques, but the modern low bed and lounge chairs seemed really out of place.
A laudable piece of restoration. What great work those young people have done as well as the specialists in their own fields. The film is slightly marred by a low sound level. Please ask your video editor to increase the volume and it will be perfect! Thanks for sharing.
I personally have saved about 15 victorian homes..doing my last one now..saved many many more thru opposing city councils bullshit rulings...and SUPPORTING historic designations legislation....maybe my life hasnt been a total.waste.
I'm so pleased the building is restored, however, it's a shame that the unpleasant and distracting 19th Century balustraded has been allowed to detract, almost disfigure the building.
Because of the low sound I didn't got who has payed the renovation and who profits afterwards? I suppose the behind the National Land Mark a lot of taxes of common people is the base of finance. But "normal" people will never ever benefit in terms of staying weekends there. That disappoints me. Nothing changes!!!
The Landmark Trust is a conservation charity that restores historic buildings, if you wish to stay in one of them you absolutely can, so there’s no need to complain whatsoever. They are doing an awful lot of good and should be thanked.
@@juttamussong-loffler9292 The landmark Trust owns, and has subsequently restored, over 200 historic properties in Britain. Each one is available to rent, and all money goes towards future restoration projects, maintenance costs, related bills etc. The “charity” also accepts donations, patrons and other forms of financial support. Do you still have a problem? Plus even if it were funded by the “taxes of common people” (which it isn’t), it would be money well spent seeing as our historic architecture is profoundly important to conserve.
@@juttamussong-loffler9292 It was established in 1965, and privately financed by its founders “Lord John Smith” and his wife “Lady Christian Smith” - two people that were heavily concerned with architectural conservation. Using their own money to purchase the first couple of properties, they would thoroughly restore and place each one on the short-term rental market (all of their buildings are holiday rentals). When sufficient money had been recovered (through rental income for example), they would purchase another set of buildings and repeat the process; slowly growing all the time. If you want any further information it’s very easy to look up for yourself.
Lovely project, but the results of the interior design look disappointingly dowdy. It is like nothing has happened between the 1970 and 2010 Britain in terms of interior design. Who would want to stay there? Only the kitchen looks contemporate. The rest of it looks like it already needs renovation. I wouldn't have minded the interior looking historic, but it just looks like the interior of any castle, which are filled with long-used or disused old sofas, beds, bed coverings and drapes. That bathroom, oh my God... and is that a single glazing? In the old days, wouldn't they have had wooden shutters in the interior of the main room? Also poor presentation: there are 4 turrets, however only one's use has been shown as a kitchen, the other one is presumably the staircase to the terrace, what about the other two?
No it's not. It's a folly, similar to what Americans call a gazebo. The wealthy built them as a retreat for an afternoon. Americans have "day destinations", this is the British answer from the 16th century by the wealthy. Can you imagine what Jeff Bezos would build as a "gazebo"?
I give this video a thumbs down only for the inability to be able to hear a darn thing that is being said. Sadly it’s probably very informative if I could hear it. Maybe subtitles would help. Some sound is good, some is very poor
I had the same problem. Turned my computer volume up to full, but still struggled to hear. You can turn TH-cam's automated subtitles on through the settings ⚙️ button at the bottom right of the viewing screen. Not perfect, but better than nothing!

I am so glad to know there are people who care about this stuff and have the skills to restore such wonderful and beautiful places.
And are passing on the knowledge on how to restore landmarks.
Very heartwarming and a beautiful restoration.

Massive love to The Landmark Trust for all you do.
I love to see architectural history preserved, and, restored...
What a delightful little structure. Now I want to stay there.
The gate keeper's cottage is fabulous!
WHAT A WONDERFUL THING LANDMARK TRUST HAS DONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
All those artisans who worked on that home to bring it back to life. I hope they get a chance (and can afford) to stay there for rest & relaxation too.
Absolutely amazing work. So glad something so historic can be saved and put to use.

I would have liked to see more of the period furnishings, in the bed frame and chairs, and tables, one doesn't have to install priceless antiques, but the modern low bed and lounge chairs seemed really out of place.
Seconded. Needs to match the atmosphere.
It's a holiday rental. The furnishings reflect that.

Thank you for the very interesting video! So nice to see beautiful old houses been restored with love&care!
Just back from 4 days by the river near Oxford, the Old Parsonage, Iffley, Oxford. Fabulous. SJPP ESSEX
What a wonderful restoration!
Que bonito quedo la casa. Felicitaciones !!!
Thank you.
It’s lovely...
Would have liked more info on the building, number floors, layout, square footage, etc.
can't hear the audio on QA's summer house?????
Your right, maybe they can redo this video with someone who can narrate louder
@@JodyK68 weird, I heard it just fine, turn your volume up lol
Is this a really nice place to stay when visiting The Shutteworth Collection ?
How lovely!
Fantastic.
Beautiful
Sound levels are way too low.
you can hear with ear buds, sound is perfect
When can I move in???
I personally have saved about 15 victorian homes..doing my last one now..saved many many more thru opposing city councils bullshit rulings...and SUPPORTING historic designations legislation....maybe my life hasnt been a total.waste.
I give thanks for you and anyone trying to save our history 👏🏻
If you have spent your life preserving history for future generations, its definitely life spent well.
Good job.
Cool hope it’s still standing ❤️
I would rather listen to this narrator than that awful robovoice. Thank you. Very educational.
When I hear a robotic voice,thumbs down and move on. Comes off as not caring.
Careful what you say about the robovoice, it knows where you live
Gamekeeper’s new ‘cottage’ looks like a small mansion.
The sound is so low that I can barely hear it. *sigh*
Y'all need to do something about the audio. Had the volume on highest setting, but could barely hear. Because of that I couldn't watch. Outa here.
Earphones remedy your difficulty hearing. I simply cast it to my television.
There is also the subtitles feature.
The audio is inaudible.
Sooooooo
LOW.
How much did the project cost?
but, where are the anti aircraft positions?
Some sound would be nice.
Very nice restoration, very poor use.. but better than crumbling away
What other use could it be put to? Hardly big enough for a full time dwelling, holiday lets ensure some income for the Landmark Trust.
The sound is much too low at maximum for me to hear comfortably without headphones
The audio is way to quite.
Volume very low
The volume was low had you on speaker and still could not hear it well.
Sound too low
The narrator sounded like he was sitting on a slow moving turntable
I'm so pleased the building is restored, however, it's a shame that the unpleasant and distracting 19th Century balustraded has been allowed to detract, almost disfigure the building.
Because of the low sound I didn't got who has payed the renovation and who profits afterwards? I suppose the behind the National Land Mark a lot of taxes of common people is the base of finance. But "normal" people will never ever benefit in terms of staying weekends there.

They went through all that and then decorated it like a boring hotel room.
I can't hear a thing this guy says.
I wouldn't call it a house
No it's not. It's a folly, similar to what Americans call a gazebo. The wealthy built them as a retreat for an afternoon. Americans have "day destinations", this is the British answer from the 16th century by the wealthy. Can you imagine what Jeff Bezos would build as a "gazebo"?

Volume way too low.
