- 00:00:03 - Plas Teg is a grade I listed Jacobean mansion, located near Pontblyddyn in Flintshire. For most of the 20th Century the house lay derelict. In 1986 Cornelia Bayley purchased Plas Teg, and poured her life and finances into the house. But the constant maintenance of the old building and estate has isolated Cornelia, and funds are at an all-time low. Ruth Watson advises her to offer out the house as a location for film and photo shoots, but Cornelia is worried about strangers harming her beautiful home.
00:46:15 - Riverhill House is a grade II listed rag-stone manor house, located in Sevenoaks, Kent. The house and estate were first developed in 1714, but were taken over by John Rogers in 1814. Today, four generations of the Rogers family live at Riverhill House, but the once treasured property has fallen into disrepair and needs a cash injection fast. Can Ruth persuade current heir Ed and his wife Sarah, as well as owner and director Jane Margaret Rogers to agree on a way forward for the historic estate?
01:33:27 - Carnfield Hall is a country house with 90 acres (360,000 m2) of parkland, located between Alfreton and South Normanton in Derbyshire. A hotchpotch of Elizabethan, Jacobean and Victorian architecture, the hall was abandoned in 1960 due to mining subsidence. James Cartland bought Carnfield in 1987 and has restored the house single-handed. However, with the gardens and woodland still in need of restoration, Ruth's guidance is needed to help James make Carnfield more profitable.
02:20:27 - The Heath House is a Gothic Revival mansion and estate located in Tean, Staffordshire. Despite the estate being owned by the Philips family for generations, current owners John and Flavia Philips are in their seventies and want to sell up, as the property is becoming a financial and physical drain. Eldest son Ben wants to keep the estate in the Philips family, so can Ruth come up with some ideas to make The Heath House financially viable in the long term?

Cornelia...I don’t like people very much! My sentiments exactly!
Somebody please give Cornelia a makeover!🌟
OMG!!!! This man is not a 'collector'! He is a HOARDER!!!
Ruth is Perfect in her Chosen Field ❤
The birds needs sunshine and fresh air😢😢😢😢
I don't know how the
birds can be pets if
they're down in the
basement.
Frankly, I am not a
fan of birds, rodents
or reptiles as pets
How horrific! Those birds need to be with her, not in the dungeon 😢
My thoughts exactly
Cornelia is beautiful i agree she deserves a makeover!! What an amazing job she's done for the place it seems to have been a labor of love. I can imagine amazing dinner parties and beautiful masquerade balls in her future! Good luck to everyone at plas teg. The helpers are an amazing group of ppl.cheers❤🎉
BRILLIANT!
Wonderful Families
and Ruth is an Angel . A Guardian Angel .Helping the Guardians if these Great Homes and Gardens of Britain.
BRAvO Cornelia, You have worked magic on this beautiful Castle …AMAZING ❤
That Gothic style house is fantastic. It would make a great movie set, and for murder mystery evenings. I would make some of the bedrooms into honeymoon suites. The property could be a working farm again and have hunting party weekends with a gourmet chef to cook the days catch, and a sommelier and a cocktail bar. I'd rent the place out for weddings, have tea room that sold old fashioned cakes and sandwiches from the houses era. Horse and buggy rides around the grounds, riding lessons etc. Make our own cheese and wines and have wine and cheese evenings. Also have plays and musical evenings - outside in the summer time with supper and booze included........
Evelyn, the oldest mrs. Rogers, lived to be as old as prince Philip (99) and only departed last year. So with more than enough time to pass on all her knowledge.
Cornelia is adorable. Lucky for her she is high energy.
poor thing is just so lonely. I wonder how she's doing - since this was filmed in 2009.
@@SAINTOBVIOUS en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plas_Teg
Cornelia's ex-husband must really love her!
I admire Cornelia for saving the old pile. It is a spectacular building.
It probably needs new wiring, plumbing, security, fire-alam system, and the chimney's repaired, etc.
She's evil to the core.
@@angelbulldog4934 elaborate please
I really enjoy these episodes. ALthought I do find Ruth to be abrupt. She does, however get the job done and helps the owners save their lovely homes.
I find myself amused and attracted to James .. his indifference to sway from the essence that is he makes him a playful adversary 😊
I absolutely love and admire Ruth. While dealing with eccentric and private people (who remind me of me) she remains charming and diplomatic while maintaining her strength as a straight shooter. Brilliant juxtaposition of virtues.
I would gladly go there and clean for free just to get to stay in that gorgeous home. ❤
I saw that the time date in Ruth's car said 2009 (also the others shown in this documentary). I'd like to see what it is like today in 2024. I very much relate to Cornelia's anxiety at so many people around inside her home but there still being some of the social butterfly she once was shining through too. Ruth really helped this fearful lady! I would like to think Cornelia and her beautiful home really hit it off big. I will be searching for something current because I am so fascinated by it. Also Heath House. I was so frustrated with the dad!! Ben showed it could be done doing just guest & weddings to actually make more money than just upkeep on the place. I also like how his brother Justin was by his side in the argument to keep it. Finally Ruth got dad to agree to give his son two years (2011) to prove by living there & making it a viable money maker, it was well worth keeping the place OFF the market & in the family. Off the market they could book many events! Again this was all in 2009. So I'll check out how it goes today.
I agree with selling some (a LOT) of those clothes.
Also, surely there must be a way to get cheaper walnuts in Wales? Maybe find someone with a walnut tree. If she'd thought about it earlier she could have planted walnut trees and they'd be producing HEAPS by now
My guess is she already planted 67 in the yard.
I always find these interesting to watch. I am sure that others will step up to help her if she puts herself out there.
It is about turning it into a business and registering them with historic societies so they can get support.
Buddy was too funny in his yeti costume😅😅 love it❤
Riverhill is brilliant! The Yeti was genius too……..
These owners drive me nuts. Plas Teg is sold, Canfield sold, second place still in family .
wait... realy ....tell me more and update....this episode was made in 2009 duuude
i figured plas tag would be sold and after that shin dig in 2009
Found this online: Following the sale of Heath House, Tean (a Gothic Revival mansion in Staffordshire, England), Mellors and Kirk Fine Art Auctioneers have been instructed by the Phillips family to sell the contents of their former home. The auction takes place online on Tuesday 12 April, 2022 at 10.00am GMT.
Love this family at River Hill.
I thought that James Cartland who purchased Carnfield Hall, and wanted to be able to leave it to his godson, was completely out of touch with reality. He couldn't deal with a smart business professional who was a woman. Ruth was completely kind, professional, and she displayed good manners. James kept saying that Ruth needed charm school. He wouldn't have been treated with the same white glove treatment, the same perfect manners, and the same soft speech, by other business professionals, as Ruth treated him. James Cartland was actually a male loner who was completely devoid of manners and didn't show any respect for anyone.
This was altogether a really an amazing program! I wonder how everything turned out for all of them in the future!i I hope they were all able to make the money to run their estates beautifully! 🌟
Beautiful British children
It would be great to have a where are they now show.
Probably 75 percent end up closed or sold... usually right after airing of show
Plas Teg closed to the public in 2022 due to pending repairs
I have experienced one of his mazes in New Zealand as a child.Was very cool& very easy to get lost in it. Loved itt
You should keep some of those large logs in that area to use as benches for sitting around the campfire and possibly a picnic table😊🇨🇦
Love these types of videos keep up the great work!
The chateau looks great lumenated with lights at night. The I beam looks cool on the new bricks. Can't wait to see the floors going in on that level.
Congrats on arrival.of cabinets. Can't wait too see them fully 8nstalled esp since I was team new cabinets. Going to be fantastic when they are in and ready for use with all your new appliances. Love you guys.
Okay. 3 minutes in... beautiful pieces of history and.......someone's not understanding how to market that. 🙂
How can you compare walnuts to champagne being as no-one needs champagne but the birds need walnuts to maintain their health.
Those parrots…poor things. They spend their lives in a dirty cage in a dark and damp cellar with all the space available in a such huge and beautiful house. And she says they are her family
"...I suspect Lady Macbeth dripping poison in dad's ear..." 😂🤣😂 I laughed so hard!
Wonderful Program, Loved It ❤
I Love Cornelia’s sense of humor …”You Go Girl” 👏👏👏❤
Sarah (second episode) seemed like she'd be a nightmare, but the edit is very flattering: She's smart, energetic, imaginative, and quite a credit to the endeavor.
Cordelia needs to get some leave-in conditioner
Cornelia is not only estranged, she is just plain strange.
Riverhill House's website looks great! ...Worryingly, I don't see Sarah as part of the 'team'.
Carnfield Hall - Wow, according to the website, it was not passed to the godson. He sold it!
It's such a shame to see the older generation selling and spending their children's legacies claiming they don't want to leave a trouble for their kids when the truth is they want to spend it
I want to see the dollhouse in James Cartland's Carnfeld hall.
THE SECOND ONE: I would take that 130 acres and ranch on it with some cattle, sheep, or other grass fed animals. Farm some of it, or let some of the acreage out to be farmed. I could make millions with a place like that.
English Heritage (name?) might have something to say about that. My guess is that they would want buildings
that look like the original. Anything that is modern or efficient (in today's world) might be frowned upon if it is not
well-hidden. E.H. also might have something to say about the type/breeds of the animals, favoring heritage breeds.
Most of these places are money-pits.
"The first Rogers to work in 200 years to work for money". That shows what entitlement these families enjoyed.
@@sabinereynaudsfit's unreal. 200 years
Yes.. every noble family dreams of becoming farmers😂
Riverhill house would be a great country home for Lady Penelope of International Rescue.
love Ruth.
These are awesome. Loved the Yeti.
I would like an update on Heath house & Benjamin's management of this beautiful house.
Heath House was sold. Contents auctioned 2022
@ASpectacular3777 Thank You 🙂
Unique castle
Hi the house is wonderful! I would put solar panels on the roof. Then you could have free heating! Air B & B. Or apartments. 🥰
How is it free if you have to buy…install…maintain?
How many panels do you think it would take to fulfill the needs of a place like that?
Do you have videos for gentlemen clubs in London?
That totally pale pink living room in Plas Teg, with everything pale pink including the modern wallpaper, the furniture and the pink flamingo , was hideous. I love the color pink for a wardrobe, but not for an entire guest room where others will share the room. It seemed like a room suited for a little girl.. It was also totally unsuited for the formal Jacobean mansion.
Chartwell manor also overlooks the weald of Kent.
ild of Kent.
Evil old bat keeping beautiful birds locked up by themselves in the dungeon. No sunlight, no fresh air, no people to play and interact with them. They must be going mad.
Tree houses are a wonderful idea in concept. However, I would think about the liability. If one of the children fell because they are rough-housing as boys will be boys, this could lead to an accident. I would make ground level tree houses more like children clubhouses, one for girls and one for boys. I would also have
security there to watch and make sure none of the children gets hurt.
Cornelia could host costume balls and rent out some of the outfits! Then sell even more.
Thennnn eventually host weddings once she fixes the plumbing.
It seems Edward of Riverhill finally accepted his sexuality. Bravo Ed.
?
In 2022 Plas Teg was closed to the public due to pending repairs.
Why do i fear that Cornelia’s “ former boyfriend “ that is paying all of her bills is stuffed like that parrot?
Has anyone done a follow up?
One has to wonder it some of these grumps have watched these shows and recognize what twits they are.
😂
Rent Plas Teg out as a wedding and event venue.
Not much of a life for the birds..
Terrible life , no sun , no air , no exercise , no affection ...
😢
The Hoarder guy, though he’s collection has a lot a value, the guy has an attitude problem, cold and arrogant. I wonder why he’s divorced twice.
The parrots don't have any fresh air or daylight. Cruel
🌈💝
The First Lady looks exactly like the lady who had a mansion but refused to clean it and it was super filthy and so was she she was sleeping on a 100 year old mattress and had never cleaned the sheets
Same lady
Was Heath House used in a Sherlock Holmes movie?
#CURUPAUL
Make Plas Teg it into a huge Bed & Breakfast or make it a Posh Brothel.
The current owner would make a lovely Dominatrix. She said she doesn't really like people.
Now they can taste her wrath......for a price.
Absolutely love this episode! ❤

Oooooh she's infuriating.
This was a set up just like what they did to maui
Finally someone is commentate on the Dan Wooten scandal. The silence on the whole affair I’d deafening and convinces me that Wooten is is able to blackmail people into silence. I also think that he is being defended by the RF. It all smells of rotten fish
Wrong video lady bot
This program is barely coherent due to the 50% ads insetted everywhere by youtube.
she obviously has adhd issues and I don't understand why she can't get a grant to help as well..
First
Their generational differences in pronunciation mirror the royal family’s. At least to my American ears.
"my ex-boyfriend pays the bills."
That woman is a complete narcissist
George Soros should donate money to this enterprise. At least he’d be doing some good.
She is delusional. She has serious mental issues. I cannot be around people like this - they are selfish and tot out of touch in every aspect of their lives. I hope her son is healthy with normal, supportive
people in his life.
