- Middle-aged couple Terry and Marilyn attempt to relocate from Whitby to a 500-year-old farmhouse in the Pennines, which they set out to transform into a home for their large family. Architect George Clarke offers advice about restoring the collapsed roof and laying a concrete floor, and lends moral support when flooding means they lose precious time and have to seek shelter with Marilyn's father.
Presented by architectural designer Charlie Luxton, Build A New Life follows people leaving the rat-race of the city in pursuit of new lifestyles and new homes in the countryside. The dream houses they are creating are inspiring, architecturally challenging and are all undertaken with a modest budget.

I have nothing but RESPECT for these people.
Gold grinder I would of love to help
Now, these are truly hardy determined people one just has to admire. Don't think I've ever seen such hard working people. No throwing money at builders to do the work then take all the admiration for it at the end, just plain hard working folk, I love them, my absolute respect to both of them.
I wear out watching; have done this sort of thing but on about fifth of the scale.
@@risasb So have I. On major projects... I bought and restored historic homes in Germany, France, the UK and here in the States as I lived around the world, but I was much younger then. Now I can scarcely make it up and down the back stairs in and out of my basement!
Agree

This is by far THE most inspirational restoration I've seen on any of these shows.
This is true, I will never complain about a bit of rain in my life again. These people are the best, even though I haven't seen the completed project I'm sure it has come off excellent..
I think the large barn restore where they had to put 24 tons of title on the roof and it was one person taking 12 title at a time up to the roof. My hat is off to people of level of iron will.
Out of all of these home restoration videos, this is my favourite. Northumberland is beautiful, it's people the most warm-hearted, kind and down to earth on this planet.
I left the Valleys to join the Army nigh on thirty years ago, got married to a German lass and settled in northern Germany. After watching this, I'm not afraid to admit I shed a tear or five. My wife was sat watching this with me when I pressed pause, slowly turned to her and said "I need to go home".
The song by Mark Knopfler "fare thee well Northumberland" says it all. The thing is: I don't need to go home - I have to, this is were I belong.
Thankyou for posting this and please excuse my emotional outbreak.
Have you gone home yet ? Welcome back
@@hollyhocks7360 Hi Holly :) No I haven't (yet)....but there are things 'planned' for 2020. A nice two week nostaliga trip with my better half and then see where it goes from there. In about two years, our house here in Germany will be paid off....then it's offski back home. I'm all excited like a bairn - can't wait!
Thanks for asking though :)
@@Jessica-to8um it was a 'spur of the moment' comment....I normally don't come out of my shell emotionally :)
Tell you what though: if you ever get the chance to go to Northumberland, you'll see what I mean. Just to be sat in a pub in the middle of no-where, nursing a glass of brown ale and listening and partaking in the banter with the locals - that's my little slice of nivarna right there! :)
5 MONTHS later and I know your not back yet. I really hope you can go back home soon.
Listen to Jimmy Nail, The Big River, that will definitely get you going, brings a tear to your eyes, if you are from that part of the world, there is nothing like going home.
These two were made for each other. I cannot believe their determination. Kudos!!
These guys have worked so hard and sacrificed a lot and not once have I heard them complain. What a fine example to the rest of us.
Marilynn is a total badass! Marilynn your my new hero...
What an amazing woman, I mean they are both gutsy but this small woman keeps up with her big lads, totally brilliant!
This couple actually look younger toward the end of the project. Pair of workhorses they are. When the sons showed up I was like, "Where have they been all this time, Granny slogging it out"!
They do!
I was thinking the same thing! Part of it is that Marilyn's perm has grown out, but all that hard physical labor definitely improves both fitness and your appearance. They probably lost several pounds of weight, each. They are an exemplary couple. They work hard, and have amazing results to show for it!
Agree, plus a lot of stress was lifted. Happiness really shows!😊
Yeah i agree. The younger generation should have shown up more.
What they have done is nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY !
These people are utterly mental just watched them pull a 1/4 ton log with no proper equipment, no moaning just digging in and cracking on; I love these people
I greatly admire and respect these people.
My friend and I restored and 18th century house in Georgia in our 50's. My hat is off to this couple! They are truly determined. .
Same here: my husband and I restored a Medioeval house in the Maritime Alps.... we did all we could ourselves, but not the roof! This is a gigantic job... most people we knew thought we were insane... all my respect to this wonderful, loving couple!
It is actually touching, see an aged couple loving each other so much, as to take a very dificult task and do it. They are happy together, bless them and their family. 😀👍👍👍
NOTHING 'aged' about these two !
reminds me of our own old farmhouse renovation. my wife and marilyn must be related! my own wife lived with me in a single room over the building site with toilet in the great outdoors all swedish winter long, fozen waaterpipes and tough work every day! gosh just how lucky can a man be to have a woman like this! i bet she iss also "low maintenance" and doesn't need prada shoes and supid jewellery ;-) hats down in front of the bravest toughest cleverest most faithful and loyal wifes and partners!!! cheers for sharing! made me further appreciate her and realise bhow lucky am!
Gyorgy Angelkott Bocz true
Gyorgy Angelkott Bocz bravo. I wish I knew a man like you who wanted a woman like me😁
@@LilyGazou Hello Lily!
Yeah no prada shoes and supid jewellery for her on her birthdays or Christmases. Just hand her a shovel and work boots. She'll love you evermore.
They seemed to become more affectionate at each milestone of the build. I love that the whole process brought them closer, rather than tear them apart as I've seen on other daunting projects.
What a well matched couple, both equally driven, hard working and strong !!
Tes Smith
Yes! This kind of project can make or break a couple. It’s wonderful they’re so well matched.
Wow. What a couple. What spirit. Truly inspired 🙂
Marilyn has a steel set! She’s my hero!
I'm actually in awe of this couple! I've never seen anything like it. You have to watch this...it's inspiring. What an incredible place for their grandchildren to run wild! 😊
How did they find each other? Such lucky human beings.
This property needs to be revisited when the build is completed.
Vagabondo5591 apparently they did an update back in 2007.
SA3 I will see if I can find that.

@@4BWVan - I tried the link but received a "Sorry Video is Unavailable" message...
@@4BWVan I found it - thank you for sharing this! Incredibly inspiring!!
These folks are the salt of the earth!!
These guys are the epitome of what a positive attitude can achieve. Thanks for the inspiration!
What an incredible couple. You simply don’t see people like this anymore. Incredible project too! Reminds me of Hannah Hauxwell too.
They're a bunch of workhorses! I'm so proud for them!
Are you familiar with the word"grit"? Well these people are the true definition. Amazing!!!
This couple is an inspiration, they work great as a team, they're determined, and at their age have taken on a herculean amount of work. This was a pleasure to watch. Thanx for posting it.
What an amazing determined couple, they work so hard and get along so well. I do not know which is more amazing, the historical building or this great couple.
Best couple I've ever seen on one of these shows.
Marilyn is a straight BEAST!
Marilyn has truly a indomitable spirit.
Both of them have a determination that is got to be mega admired.
Congratulations to you both.
💞💟💝💗💓👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They are superhuman. Extremely hard work in freezing weather and then back at it the next day! Never saw anything like it.
I have never seen two more capable people in my life. All of my respect goes out to you! You are truly inspirational!
When the concrete lorry can't get through! Oh boy, I remember a few days like that, it's a big morale breaker sometimes. This couple are incredible.What a tremendous work ethic and spirit. If only it could be bottled.
Now this is a couple to idolize. There is so much love here.I hope they were able to finish.
Looks EXACTLY like our place, here in Normandy, when we bought it 22 years ago; no interior plumbing, electricity...We began in July. 3 weeks later wife was pregnant, and still was my "builder's laborer" for 6 months of her pregnancy, lol...cheers...rr Normandy, France
How is it now?
@@tmgmagdalena4138 Better, much better...
Huge respect for this hard working couple... makes me think about my dad, he was that kind of man....
Mine too.
George looks like a teenager in this series. Great property - fantastic setting.
Is it just me or did sound tech finally moved up their game and balanced everything out?? Finally!!!
A big house in the country is slowly becoming goals.
These people are amazing ! I just love their cheerfulness and love for each other.also their love for this family home. I am in awe of the wife's physical strength ! I hope that they are able to complete the work on the house and that they are able to enjoy their home for many, many years to come
Absolutely loved watching this! What grit, what drive, what determination, what LOVE! I'm just so happy to see such a happy family and so much work together ~ truly what builds strong families! I so hope we can see an update on this amazing family and their dream turned reality!
I’d love to see this completed as it must be by now.
They did do an update three years later. If you google the following you can watch it: "s03 eo6 hexham tubi"
@@4BWVan It's a US site so needs to viewed with a VPN.
Dormousey, what is a VPN and how do I get one? video pen number? I am in Calif. Thanks. (I would guess that since I don't know what it is, I don't have one! Lol)
I am so impressed with this couple!
What a wonderful couple. Admirable attitude toward life and the shared task. Hats off to them, I have watched it twice now and I just smile with them and love their spirit. Love these programmes 🙏
I was hard-pressed to get my wife to lift a paint brush on our self-build. Cheers to Marilyn's hardiness and enthusiasm!
The cattle would help keep the building warm, too.
And this is how people get on ,but when its completed people will say there so lucky,well they also can be lucky,ITS CALLED Work
@randsterama Well since we're correcting you're also incorrect as it's not there or their but they're, get over yourself if you're going to bother at least do it properly.
@@anna-og2ul Quite right Annaa, just for those semi-literates out there, they're is short for they are, as in they are so lucky. The apostrophe, (') is to show that there is one silent letter where the apostrophe is.
randsterama they’re ... if you’re going to be pedantic at least do it right - idiot
It was and is people like Terry and Marilyn who built and keep building this world.
True grit.
Respect.
Blown away by this couple and the hard graft and love they put into this build. Does anyone have a link for the finished product? Would be great to see it
What a phenomenal couple. Salt of the earth.
I am in awe, Terry and Marilyn all incredible. So much respect for them, they are true DIYs.
Salute to you two beautiful couple. I cant imagine how she lifted those huge slabs of stone. I thank the host to bring into light such hard working people. I wish to meet this lovely couple one day. Such a huge inspiration.
These people are the salt of the earth. What a wonderful couple.
I adore this couple, they are just beautiful people and they deserve great happiness, they are doing FANTASTIC and keeping the old beauty of the buildings. 💓
never seen with such clarity the difference between our current and past generations..
What an incredible couple. I salute you both for your hard work, determination and the love that you both show to each other.
What a lovely couple. I hope they're very happy there.
What an amazing couple. Would be fantastic to see their incredible work completed
I love this couple, their determination to see things through and their love for each other is so inspiring.
It’s still one of the best episodes. Very inspirational & uplifting. Cheers to a job very, very well done! 🏆
I truly admire this family with gusto. Bless you
Beautifully presented by a talented young man. While they were restoring I was going back in time visualizing how it was being built centuries past. If I was in charge of private and public works I would order to have all building of previous times restored so as not to lose the history of the country. What a pipe dream. I love to watch videos where bands of young people undertake these projects in the various country they live.
Beautiful story, beautiful country, beautiful people. Pioneers in their own right!
It would be more beautiful with more biodiversity on those bare hills, plenty of trees to slow down the run off.
"just get on with it" is the British way.... incredible couple
This is amazing. I have never seen any couple work so hard.
This is so beautiful..awe inspiring, it made me cry
Now I give this couple kudos....very hard work and their not in their 20’s. So impressive!
Bawling my eyes out... I admire these folks. Bawling because in my romantic heart of hearts I wish I could do all that they do, but reality is that I will never be able to. Truly, truly admirable folks. I love their tenacity and vision. And their love for each other.
WHAT A COUPLE! Badass Lady....Respect......
I love this programme. Please upload more!
WOW ! Much respect for this couple, there positive attitude is what got them through love x
I really admire these people for taking this restoration, especially at their age! I wish that they would come back after the project was finished.
I love these people! They are amazing, won't stop until it's "doon," always planning for better things. They are better than super heroes, they are real life hard working, deep loving people.💗
Such respect for this loving, hard working couple. Amazing, and such a great example for others.
I should reevaluate my life instead of sitting here on my couch eating little chocolates as I watch this couple on the show. They are indeed two people that deserve all respect for their attitude, love for each other, and hard work. Something I think is missing from this generation and even the last.
I feel just short on words to describe them in any possible way, way beyond commoners. The only aspect I feel missing in the video is the history of this farmhouse since it is a listed property. Even so, the video is sufficient to lift our souls up.
What a lovely couple!!
I truly loved this series and tried to buy the dvds !! DVDs weren’t available in the uk let alone in oz !! I watched every episode over and over on Foxtel, just lovely to watch people follow and endure their dreams !!!!!
She must be the most hardy, mentally and physically strong woman I ever saw, and also a lot of respect for her husband, both having office jobs and thus not having to work hard physically in their previous life now prove to be the though but internally warm kind of people this part of England is known for.
They are relationships goals! Being able to easily and happily do a complete renovation is inspiring.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO folks ! Oh my heavens, well done; planning, guts, and hard hard work. FANTASTIC !!!
Such a positive family. Love it!
Definitely a remarkable couple. With more like this one the World will be a kinder place. Congrats from Spain!!
Such wonderful people! Truly inspirational
Wow! what an amazing couple. Much respect!
Incredible couple doing the unbelievable hard work. I'm so inspired.
Nontalk of budgets. I love it!
36:26 the close up of the llama is hilarious!!!
What an incredible couple, love them already
What an amazing couple. They are truly inspirational. Marvelous home re-built by two marvelous people.
Wonderful couple, best episode so far.
Oh my goddess
These ppl inspire and show what can be restored.
Incredible individuals who are deserving of a long life.
I hope they instructed their children in the old ways as well.
Please show an update of this fortress.
This is a remarkable couple! They are extremely hard working people with huge hearts and determination to make their dreams and reality come true. Awesome episode.
Amazing couple!! Full respect!
Okay, Terry and Marilyn are simply EPIC!
Blown away by their determination. Fantastic attitudes and amazing work ethic. Reminded me of the fun we had as a family renovating houses. My brother and I would have contests with butter knives to see who could finish chipping a floor tile first. Stepping on nails, the dust, hard work and yet we all were so happy living a dream.
They are my kind of people! I wish they had more help throughout the project. but it is amazing to see that they actually looked younger as they pushed on! Just amazing! Inspirational!
This is my favorite of all the renovations. I know the house is not 100% done, but it already looks amazing.
I wish i can purchased historic building too and renovate it as a new lovely home... i love thier determination.. inspire me more 🥰
AWESOME JOB!! I'm speechless! 😱😱😎
