I love seeing the transformation of the castle from basically the start to where it is today that was shown on The American Viscountess. It’s come a long way since 2008. Sammy is as vibrant as ever!
I think giving the business back to the community and choosing local craftsman and a haberdasher says a lot about the family. It helps the community around them thrive as well. The gardens are magical! Best of luck! 🌿🌸🌱
I think Ruth knows what's she's talking about she's a professional she also wants the castle to be successful more importantly she wants the family to be happy with their decision. I'm glad to see the owner's statue is being taken care of and will greet visitors, his mausoleum too.
As an American I feel they are so fortunate to have such treasures of history and to think often their families go back to 1600s.!!! I do hope they can keep their treasure. That tax is robbery!!!!!!
I like the look of age. I hope they don’t modernize things too much. The point, for me, in visiting historic places is to see what it get would have looked like, to step into a moment in time.
I think to have to pay 6 Million Inheritance Tax is too extreme. The money should go into restoring the place. Should have been able to have a double name.
US inheritance tax is nothing like this. The first $5million is tax free. Then one only pays 20% max of the value of the estate. Even that is unethical as inheritance tax is double taxation!
I like the colour of the outside. A similar colour for the windows. People paint their windows any colour now days, not just white. Maybe window sills can be white.
Look up “Tour Pentillie Castle” video to see the castle now. Their daughter has taken over and it is just beautiful. I so want to walk down the wisteria path! 🫠
That is an unreasonable amount of taxes! Somebody in the family was wealthy at one time but that wealth doesn’t always trickle down! They need to talk to Luke and Julie Montague the next Earl of Sandwich. They are doing the very same things. American Viscountess is Julie’s TH-cam channel and Luke is Mapperton Live.
What a ridiculous amount of tax........that money should be allowed to be kept in the family for the purpose of refurbishing the house and bringing it back ti glory, as well as making it a going concern that can pay for itself in the future.
Hi Ruth, I think what they should have done was maybe sell off some of the land, that is farther away from the castle, to give them the funds to hire experts and to pay for some of the restoration of the gardens, make them presentable for showing, taking in money from the tours as they work on the house. I hope that they were able to resurrect the castle into a beautiful home and business. Thanks for showing us.
The family stubbornly fail to grasp that this has to be run as a business to survive. If it survives it will then be able to include the locals sniffy Sarah is so fixated upon. The family are out of their depth.
It would be a huge waste to do so in England with all the cloud cover. You would actually be contributing to a larger carbon footprint-couldn’t make enough energy to offset the energy it took to create the solar panels in the first place. Leave solar to clear, sunny climates.
The English charge a horrendous amount of inheritance tax. Are they trying to bankrupt every old listed home in the UK? I can only imagine the amount of inheritance tax King Charles had to pay on all those castles. Oh let me guess the monarchy don’t have to pay inheritance tax L O L
There was no bad wether in spain or morroco, its a lie what they say, l was in germany some days ago and the supermarkets were full of all kind of vegetables and fruits, they had tomatos from spain, from poland and from morroco.

I would stay there! I love the gardens and the little houses by the water.

Can we have a follow up video when the renovation has been totally conpleted please? This is very interesting. Looking forward to it.
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/CUnCstNFDUM/w-d-xo.html
Google it. Their website has lots of video and pictures. It looks stunning!
Would like to see future videos on the castle's progress.
Yes that would be magical!!!!
Google it...I did. Fantastic place.
There is an update of the estate on American Viscountess youtube channel.
@@aisyahr6 Thank you
I find it insane that they ask for a professional to help and then get pissy when they dont agree. Like what did u expect??
Beautiful castle and estate. One hopes that this castle could be saved because of the history.

this is a TALKUMENTARY!

That’s Europe for you…
@@nathand.schwarzchild1513 the US has inheritance tax too.
The government should make that tax to contribute the property, that saves the costs and not taking all for staffolding the country's expences.
And then spend that money on illegal fake refugees... lol
Brits suffer...thats UK for u

Inheritance and property taxes are evil.
Sickening
It just will take lots and lots of passion. Be fearless!
Also lots of money

Please show us the palace when it is completed.
i really admire the couple but they should listen to ruth more lol that’s why she’s there
wow some people cry so elegantly.

Your taxed so much times in life, by earning, buying, keeping and when you die all thats left is taxed.
This system is the biggest scam in life. 🤔😒
It’s a shame and damn one
Going to Germany for paint is rediculas. Shop local and let the local people benefit. It's just as good. Even better. Let the local businesses in.

They obviously have access to a huge amount of capital that other people did not have on this channel

Come tomorrow.The weather will be fantastic!
Another question. If he inherited the castle when his uncle died how did mama keep them out? That’s crazy!😝
I’m sure in his will she was allowed to remain there until death.

They said they had sold off bits of land already

Well they did it!
What about the floors ? I would take ALL that carpeting out, first of all. I bet the floors are REALLY lovely.
They should install solar panels
With what money? Not to mention that it wouldn't create enough energy
It would be a huge waste to do so in England with all the cloud cover. You would actually be contributing to a larger carbon footprint-couldn’t make enough energy to offset the energy it took to create the solar panels in the first place. Leave solar to clear, sunny climates.
maybe a water/windmill with all the rain and wind in the uk
🕋
❤❤
On the exterior its the ugliest castle I’ve ever seen
LOOOOL!!
Agreed 😂🤣
I was thinking the same thing! Ugh! I wouldn't want that building in my wedding pics.
It wasn't so bad after they painted it though.
Hard to manage an estate when you don't have a tax-payer Sovereign Fund to help you, hmmm?
