Although the house looks elegantly beautiful, the video raised questions that weren’t address: Where did the refrigerator end up, I did not see any stair handrails & where was the extra bathroom? Curious viewer outside the UK.
I did have to smile at the before and after comparison with regards to the 'wires everywhere' complaint - and then they feature a 'rustic' light fixture with... 'wires everywhere' over the dining table. Thank you for a lovely episode.
They probably didn't show it because you could see through the glass. 😆 I watched this last night. th-cam.com/video/PlyZ__I50_g/w-d-xo.html Didn't realize it was the same house until I read some of the comments. 😁

The second smaller fireplace in the dining room was probably built when the then owners (unlikely to be tenants) moved from wood as their main fuel to coal. Coal needs a more powerful draw of air to burn efficiently, so needed smaller chimneys. Although rather narrow, it could have included the most basic form of cast iron grate for cooking. The fireplace in the sitting room was kept larger because it was common to use coal for cooking, but continue to use wood for heating. Coal is dirtier than wood, so people liked their best room to be kept free of coal smuts.
In the US, when you renovate a room, the Building Inspectors require that the room be brought up to the most current code. I cannot imagine how that would work in a house like this.
The cottage is a Listed Building. I have one too. Electrical work has to comply with current codes but the other priority is to preserve history. I am amazed they had consent for the extension….my Conservation Officer would have a fit!
LOVE the Blue kitchen!!! - the cleaned up wood burning stove in the dining room, the new stairs, and the beauty of this fabulous building, but where is the refrigerator??? The awkward one is gone, so where is the new one.??
Ήταν όμορφη η συλλογή με τα κύπελα στην κουζίνα θα τα ήθελα κάπου να φαίνονται ! Το φωτιστικό στην κρεβατοκάμαρα δεν ενδείκνυται γιατί χτυπάει στα μάτια ! Αλλά ολατα αλλά είναι πολύ ωραία !
They could have just left a chamber pot under the beds of those rooms with no possible access to a bathroom. It would fit the period of the house perfectly.
Painful to watch. Whilst obvious improvements were made, this is a prime example of overdoing it, turning a period property into a shell with modern hotel interior. Money doesn’t buy taste, whilst ‘expense’ seems to be a statement. Plus the guy was wearing a neckerchief.
U've got a tiny house, all crooked and u put in 3 loos and the one in the kitchen with lovely door on hinges...dunno if that' s hermetic enough for me . I mean...😄 Sweet result , happy dwellers is all that counts. Mind your head, love.
This quote comes to me…” It was a Hobbit hole, and that means comfort “. A lovely vacation home, to spend a few weeks in. But my claustrophobia would soon kick in I’m afraid-I need a bit more elbow space for day to day living.
The windows are awful in the kitchen, more grey plastic, brutalism in window form. What a way to take away the historical characteristics of the cottage, they have not kept its history, as all that plaster on the walls makes it look like a hotel suite. Bland and grey, architecture and good historical design are now thing of the past. As every building must now look exactly the same, if not on the outside, then on the inside.
No, it is part of the heritage of this region of England (the stone architecture looks to be Northamptonshire/ Rutland area - which has a high concentration of thatch), and should obviously be preserved. I hope that you do not own a historic building with an attitude like that.
I particularly like the way they replaced a tangle of wires with a tangle of wires.
LOL!
If you can't beat it , then embrace it
Bad funny
I might agree, but let's not be snarky !
Lol
Love watching these filmed during Covid. Years from now people are going to ask, "Why are they standing so far from each other." Just beautiful.

As a carpenter/builder i love when designers talk total nonsense in these videos, always good for a giggle
It's nice to see updates that are unmistakably modern yet still compatible with the original historic materials. Well done. Very tasteful.
I just love people who want to preserve the past like these folks. The cottage is amazing
What happened to the extra bathroom? It would have been nice to see how it turned out
11:50 Looks like they created a whole new bathroom at the end of the bedroom instead.
6:47 They mention the ensuite, which you see at 11:50. Would have nice to see the other toilet with sliding glass door.
That kitchen window - wow! Great job all round. Especially love the main bedroom too 😀
I just could not believe it! SO mouth-watering!

Exactly my thoughts. We need answers haha
I say we need a part 2 in depth video that includes every room
Watch the full episode, all questions are answered. It's S7E5.
@@SuzanneBaruch is it viewable in Canada?
Fridge and freezer Probably integrated within the kitchen units.

a lovely renovation keeping something so wonderfully historic & making it not only comfortable but beautiful.
What a breathtaking cottage!!
Honey!!!! This is the new kitchen window were getting
Just lovely! Would have liked to see the bathroom with glass wall upstairs!

FABULOUS job! Loved that corner window in the Kitchen- quite envious of that!!
Just lovely.
Amazing 🤩
Simply beautiful. Want to live there too!!
Gorgeous
Too Good….❤
Just WOW. Spectacular mix of old and new. Love it. Wait!! Where is the bathroom with the translucent wall?
Wow
Such a lovely cottage,nicely updated & I wonder if its Haunted...
If those walls could talk😊

You made such a big deal about the refrigerator being in the dining room, but then never show us its new location.
It’s integrated in the kitchen units I expect; most are in UK houses
where could I find that cord lighting hung from a branch over the table?
What does the yearly energy bill come in at ?
I would faint if I got panoramic window like that, but the two of them were just standing in silence...weird.
So now I have house envy
The folding window is what dreams are made of.....
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. George Clarkes favourite word 🤣🤣🤣
gonna go Gollum style...love ya George.
Weird side comment: She has a face and hair perfect for the late 60s.
I wanted to see the landing bathroom finished.

I haven’t read any other comments, but why did you not show the upstairs and the tiny toilet room!?
Did they put in the toilet with the glass screen??
You need to get a new thatch roof that is battered won’t be cheap though
❤❤❤
Where’s the toilet with the glass screen, wasn’t a good idea anyway but please tell us what you decided.
The screen was way too see through- can't imagine anyone using toilet while anyone else in the house!!
4:40
At first I thought the owner was Karl Pilkington. I nearly fell over myself to get to see Suzanne. Alas.
Are people really so much taller now, or were the ceilings and doorways lower for heating purposes
Where’s the upstairs loo??
It’s above the downstairs and who’s Lou?
@@JulieWallis1963 🤣🤣🤣
@@JulieWallis1963 loo 😂😂
Probably in the rest of the show! This s only twelve minutes long, so has been edited to death.
They could have just left a chamber pot under the beds of those rooms with no possible access to a bathroom. It would fit the period of the house perfectly.
They have access to an upstairs loo, sitting room only.
😂
💖💖💖💖💖
Wait… so we don’t get to see the toilet in the end 😭😭
So did they put that upstairs toilet in
They did, with a silly, very see through glass door
I only saw 1 bedroom in the reveal?? ( twice?)
Love the couch
It’s like Karl Pilkington’s smarter twin brother
If you know of any middle-aged English men who live in the middle of nowhere in a 400 year old house and want to meet let me know

They would steal parts from local derelict mansions and reuse in the cottage.
Did they show toilet and sink upstairs?
No, unhappily!
No it’s been cobbled together showing best bits. Just a fancy ad for the kitchen window. Like to know how budgeting came in ,
I wanted to see the toilet!

PERFECT !!
CHEERS !!🍻
Jesus loves you and died for our sins amen beautiful day to serve the Lord Jesus 😍😍🙏
It all looked amazingly AWFUL. So much looks out of place and the design is so cheap and common for a “historic” building.
And yet another cottage ruined
wait why does the guy at the beginning talk like Gordon Ramsey. it's uncanny.
Why 'unbelievable'? Don't you believe what you see?
I am shocked, this is a crime against the history and architecture of the Cottage. It hurts.
The windows are awful in the kitchen, more grey plastic, brutalism in window form. What a way to take away the historical characteristics of the cottage, they have not kept its history, as all that plaster on the walls makes it look like a hotel suite.

Oh how awful 🗣
get rid of that thatch, dangerous and outdated
Not always possible.
