This couple is beyond adorable.
Yes, they're really great. What a treat it would be to sit out on a warm summer night with a fire and cold drinks with these two artists! Heavenly!
I cried at the end when they were presented the original estate Tudor Rose pulls. Like all the previous comments made by viewers, this episode was the most brilliant and joyful to watch because of the talent, dedicated work and love shown from all but especially this original and lovely couple. Love , love loved this! Thank you for letting us enjoy watching. Week 3 in isolation and needing the distraction. This was entertaining and educational.
Of all the restoration shows I've seen over the years, this episode is my absolute favorite. I adore the personalities of this talented couple, love their lifestyle and ability to find humor in difficult times, and of course their home is the most charming little place ever. It's been utterly heart and soul-touching to watch their story from initial insight and challenges, fears and beautiful little moments develop into something so incredibly lovely. Thank you for sharing this wonderful personal adventure.
Totally agree.
I've been watching them as well for years and years and I was just coming to the comments to say the exact same thing. This is just a wonderful couple and such a lovely cottage. I wish we could see the extension and the bathroom. It's just a perfect tiny home.
The original building is not too small for a couple to live in. Lots of people live in "tiny homes" that are much smaller.
What a wonderful, loving and dedicated couple. I wish them every happiness.
This one is By FAR my favorite ! So cute ! I love the couple and that house is so Dreamy a true Fairytale . Really perfect . If I would ever come across a house like that ... IT WOULD BE MINE ! All those big castles and giant houses ... are nothing compared to that house ❤️ . That is one house that made me understand the saying “ Home is where your heart is “ . Because the love between them is so very warm , and sweet . It just made the house give you that warm home vibe . Really amazing ❤️😘🥰
I think It's crazy that people are forced to go by restrictions yet they would totally let the place rot and Crumble if somebody didn't purchase it. The Law needs to be changed
I agree. I can understand maintaining some oversight, but in some cases, it seems to be so arbitrary, just a complete power play by whoever is on these boards or committees.
@@kathleenmckenzie6261 Those government bodies are so busy trying to be boss that they have lost sight of what's in-front of them.
@@ashleypowers4177 Don't hyphenate in front. It's not a compound noun or adjective.
Increadible !!!
What a dream house! 😻 I adore how they really tried to keep the history of the house without overtly modernizing it.
But it was never painted bright blue and fish and cats on the window panes. I liked most of it but not all of it.
George was never my favourite host, but this episode, he really grew on me. You could feel his enthusiasm with this project, and the couple working on it.
George was not his usual critical dream basher this episode
I hope you go back and see it after the extension is done. Super cool.
Its completed just write longhurst lodge on google images and you will find image on pinterest of the extended building 🙂
@@uzairakbar7920 Thanks!! I will 😄
@@uzairakbar7920 I have been searching Pinterest and cannot find an image of the extended building. All I can find are pictures of the original, in progress and the completed lodge as shown at the end of the episode before the extension.
Amazing restoration touches of the Victorian charm done by hand. Kudos to them for a brilliant job.
So nice not having George trying to depress everyone this episode
This just looks like a fairytale cottage out in the middle of an enchanted forest - wow
What a magical little house. Huge respect to this couple...I'm so jealous.
When I see restoration shows where all or a majority of the work was done by the owner, and it turns out as brilliant as this, I think: that person can make a living doing that, charging huge sums by the hour for their unique skills.
These two would make an awesome restoration company!
Hopefully you can revisit once everything is complete including the extension would love to see it completely done thank you for sharing this episode
Vanessa and Nik created a beautiful gem of a cottage, inside and out. As many others have said, this is my favorite episode thus far. And the Tudor Rose window handles! WOW, what an extraordinary find and gift to give. I teared up, too.
Number One ... replace the roof ....check. Darling, little cottage 'a touch of the fairy' with the style and the unique features. A tiny gem! A legacy for England to admire for generations to come!! If only more significant buildings could be restored at nominal cost to the owner, these historic buildings could shine for centuries to come. Long live England!!
Awesome couple! Their love for the old gatehouse shines out of every inch of the restored building. ❤️
The Tudor roses on the gates and the building is beautiful 😍
I'm in love with that little house, and that couple has done amazing. So lovely.
It's funny to hear them say the house is too small. My husband and I live on a sailboat. We have roughly 100 sq ft of living space. Bearing in mind that our "bedroom" is just the v berth, and all bed. And our bathroom is the toilet and shower combined in a 2.5 x 2.5 square to stand, sit on the toilet and shower. Before that, we spent a year living in our truck camper at 88 sq ft with our dog. Sadly we lost him before we moved aboard the boat.
This is my favorite restoration show I have watched. A charming couple. The cottage turned out magnificant. I was hoping to watch you bring the prior tenant to see the cottage before any future additions were added to the structure. Still a wonderful piece.
Wish this had the complete chapter, including the addition. Love this one.
George - This house is too small to live in
Tiny Home People - Hold my beer
I was living in a 25 square meter apartment with my brother mother and father for years...
Exactly what I was thinking.
Omg I'm new to this programme by about 20 houses and I really think this house screams home more then any house I've ever seen it's a fairytale house I'd take this over a big open plan mansion any day
I hope you show us the update
For 2020
After watching a buncha restoration homes, I'm having a little crush on George..This couple is amazing and the Lodge is just great.
I’m over him now, I’ve got a new crush, Kieran Long, I’ve never seen anyone so cute and geeky get so passionate about Tudor Houses and brick and beams , oh my heart 💓
Lovely couple. Lovely craftsmanship. I cried. ❤️
I just want to say. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the proper mix of music and narration. I also want to say thank you for choosing music the better fits the thematic genre of these videos. This is the BEST.
Nik and Vanessa did a remarkable job on this restoration. Real detailed craftsmanship when into this project. It's truly a work of art. I hope we'll get to see the finished product of the addition to this home. Great couple.
That is Absolutely beautiful! Would love another update on the home!
Beautiful restoration by an amazing couple. Look forward to the completed extension
What a special moment at the end. Love the couple, simple and fun people.
It looks like a workhouse, and the windows they built are amazing! Kudos. Can't wait to see it finished.
I love this couple, they're so sweet. And those windows.. So gorgeous!!
That gargoyle is so amazing
My favourite restoration on this show so far. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a cute little house and nice fun people taking a great care of it.
I thought that I had watched every episode and then came across this one. Absolutely my favorite! That is my Dream House. Well Done!!
George Clarke is so adorable. So willing to help. What a beautiful job.
Best restoration project I've seen on these shows! I love the outdoor water landscaping. The finishing touches, etc. And I totally felt teary eyed with them when George presented the Tudor Rose pulls at the end.
Absolutely love these types of fairy tale-ish homes. 😍
I don't understand the thought process of these "planners." They would rather impose their unbelievably rigid rules and let a historic building stay abandoned and rot to dust rather than let someone save it by stepping outside their rules.
The cottage is so cute. The workmanship of the couple is just beyond words. I love the window. A product of their love to be preserved forever. 💖💖💖
Lovely. I'm sure the new extension will not disappoint.
We need more people like them
after watching several episodes i concluded that this is by far, the most fascinating restoration i've seem! what a love, what a joy, what a pleasure that they have in bringing it to life!
Huge respect to this couple. SUPER !!!
Extraordinary! Love this show!
How absolutely lovely. Fairytale cottage
That's one of the best you've done mate. Cheers.
This sweet little house can be lived in! Have you not seen/heard of the Tiny House movement?
This is incredible; absolutely fabulous! Many kudos to both of you! Enjoy and be proud!
One of the best episodes... great!
One of my favorite episodes, so very cool.
Love it too! Gate houses, who would have thought they could be so loved. Thanks George .
i remember watching this episode when it aired on Channel 4, brilliant project.
Wow very very nice the window is spectacular, woodworking top-notch ....many happy years in that house, congratulations I am happy for you both you guys are a perfect couple, I love the upstairs bedroom wow wow the finish is incredible I will love to live in a home-like that, Merry Christmas
I love this home. The People's home is adorable. The colors are Very beautiful. I see much love.
it looks amazing now.. they've done such a great job.
Beautiful Couple, beautiful home, beautiful show!!!!! Thank you!
I really like George Clarke. He's always laughing. A real honest from the gut hardy laugh. What a genuine guy.
I am so happy for them, for history and for my own dreams sort of. How wonderful this doll house is. Congrats to anyone inspired.
i think this one has been y favorite so far. such a beautiful home and such wonderful people moving into it. love this!!!!
Vanessa made those windows the focal point of that beautiful cottage..Both are very talented.
I remember seeing this in the past................ love it!
I love this house! It’s absolutely cheery, they are so extremely blessed
This is one of my favorite renovations! The way they took the time to build everything with such details is beautiful. It so nice to see how much they love and respect not only the house but it’s history.
Before i started watching this episode, I wasn't excited to finish it. But it turned IMHO, the best one so far I've seen on this show. It's because Nick and Vanessa are crafts experts and artists. Every detail of their house was a result of hard earned skills and an artistic outlook. When Vanessa saw the original window pulls of the estate building- she was floored and awed to tears. Truly a reflection of her commitment to her art and vision. Question is: what happened to the pigs?
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship by this couple. Best restoration thus far.
This is beautiful... not sure I could live without a bathroom though.
Just use the one in the trailer!😳🤪💞ditto for the kitchen.🤗🤷♀️
It's temporary.
What a fabulous lodge. They are both very gifted.
Beautiful little home!
Absolutely phenomenal job ❤️❤️❤️❤️I salute it ❤️❤️❤️
Windows are fantastic, beautiful designs at outside walls, cute
Beautiful house, fairytale look is timeless. I’m not loving the bright blue trim, would love to see a soft green or one of the light blues in the plaster work but still, awesome
Beautiful episode lovely people , they really worked hard to have it , congratulations
Absolutely beautiful! Lovely people creating lovely spaces!
So fantastic, would love to see it All completed.
Gorgeous house. ❤❤❤
This couple is so talented, hard-working and driven, I aspire to be like that.
What a great job
I mean the love between them and trust and believe they have in each other... It's motivation for this new generation... I means kids who lose their all hopes to live in a comfortable house because they can find it, or buy it or give this much time and efforts to create or in other aspects of their life... They are perfect inspiration for them...
One of my favorites! This gate house is so quirky yet so lovely!
Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
Very Good
So much love and for life and craftsmanship and detail!!... Thank you! So lovely,Much joy 🙏🏽💓🥰
I discover Reel Truth History yesterday and am hook totally hook thank you for sharing again.
Cant wait to see the additions. Love it
How wonderful their story is . Thank you for your video .
This is a restoration I love.
Thank you, thank you, thank you George for using gloves when handling irreplaceable documents. I cringe when I see other historians handle these treasure with no gloves. These are as important to save as the building they document. I love the work this couple put into their home. Remarkable.
The fire and tree are perfect.
…a) am I the only person to mention the Harry -Potter-like music that is a constant in all these vids…b) this couple is goals(as is the space)…c) I want to live here
Just Beautiful lovely couple such hard workers ❤️🇦🇺❤️
The host took credit for that guy's big salad. Haha
Well done. What an amazing job!
I think this was my favorite.
A lovely couple and what a sweet storybook cottage. I do hope they can get their extension underway. It will be nice for them to have some extended space but what wonderful craftsmanship they both contributed to the restoration work. Truly a talented and deserving couple. I'd love to see an update of their extension and the gates when they too are done.
One of my favorite episodes. What a wonderfully talented and loving couple. I would really like to see what they do with the extention to the house.
One of my favorites!!!
