So many cultural different styles and era's throughout art deco to Victorian across to 21st century. All blended so well. Each rooms hold its own personality. love it
Not my taste but I can appreciate that this is an absolutely stunning home. I loved the family pictures posing as film stars in the cinema room... Nice personal touch.
If you know anything about this man and his story, then you'll know he is an exceptional guy and deserves everything he has! He does so much amazing work for charities and he literally started from the bottom. His story is truly incredible. So inspiring!
He's a climate change hysteric who wants drastic climate action and reduction of your emissions, who also frequently uses a private helicopters/airplanes for transport, owns a super-yacht, and owns numerous properties that require the same amount of energy as a small town. Classic elitist hypocrite.
I suggest you speak to people from Stafford and Stoke and ask them why these towns are "famous" in mobile telephony. In particular, to any prosecution lawyers in that area. They would be laughing (or quite angry) if they heard your comments. It is reported a significant group of his directors broke away to form separate companies and were then convicted of massive VAT fraud. Caudwell's company was known to pick up phones on the parallel market (often supply chains where vat has been evaded) and somehow manage to sell them very cheaply. Stoke and STafford became MASSIVE world epicentres of mobile phone vat fraud. Whilst Caudwell himself was never convicted (or even charged in this matter), plenty of people in these towns have lots to say on the former nightclub bouncer and do NOT see him as "exceptional" or "inspiring" I am personal friends with quite a few Stafford/Stoke vat criminal lawyers. Don't believe newspapers that are paid pr channels of people.
Don't know but in the entire house doesn't seem to have natural lighting , lots of garish artificial lighting eg the billiard room . Everything looks dingy! Too much of everything!!
@@efma3589 That's not what he said. He said money can't buy taste. And he's right I may add. The richer they get the more grandiose ideas they have, often ending up looking like tacky cheap Las Vegas hotels and bordellos on roids. Funny enough it looks cheap instead of expensive and that's a total fail cause this chaps mission is to display his wealth.
Thank god you rescued it from being ostentatious with your 65m pound rennovation. All that restraint and tastefullness really shines through. Seriously - he must be trolling us right ?
The colour schemes and lighting isn't to my taste and most of the decor either, but I like the cinema it looks cosy and I liked the fish tank and tree with the lights.. who is he anyway? Haven't a clue
He’s a self made multi billionaire I believe. I think he built up, then sold Phones 4 U. He’s an incredibly generous man, who gives many millions to charity. He organises parties and auctions etc, with every penny going to childrens’ charities. I’d love it if he’d be interested in multiple sclerosis ( and in particular, my need for a Neurologist, as the NHS is currently screwed!) Sadly his interests lie in helping children, not 60 year old past it old women 😂😂! However wealthy he is, never forget his philanthropic ways. He’s worth his weight in pure gold 😊👍.
This bloke is getting stick in the Daily Mail ...from haters because he's rich ...but I say fair play to him ...he's self made ...saw the future with .obile phones and done the business ...I tried to make a few quid and come unstuck ...but I respect him .he has done what all entrepreneurs try to do ..don't hate him ..hail him! ...
Thats its market value, however, watching a documentary on the build, he comments that he paid around £87m for the building, but it required massive renovation, and then spent about £65m renovating it (despite assigning a £10m budget for the renovation)... still a rather large expensive house, but if he sold, it be worth £250m. nice profit.
There is no reason whatsoever to live in a home this excessive none. Thank God I was reared with the principle in life if you have a roof over your head, food in the cupboard and budget well, life can be plentiful. Im not poor, neither rich like this guy and if he is happy then fair play to him. However, I live within my means, and I am happy. And your internal happiness is what matters in life, not how big your home is or what you own.
He seems like a very likeable person, but how is this not satire? "When I first came here it was unbelievably ostentatious,..... it was just a matter of making everything very tasteful."
This would be a glorious house if it was completely gutted of all his ghastly tacky interiors and redecorated properly. The fact that he starts by saying that it was previously ‘unbelievably ostentatious’ and he has redecorated ‘tastefully’ is so laughable. The chap hasn’t got an ounce of good taste in him 😂
Throughout the tour, Mr. Caudwell refers to the original look of the rooms and what "redecoration" was done after he purchased the property. I'm laughing now about the "redecoration" because I've just come across another video on Channel 4's TH-cam channel about it - the renovation cost 65 million pounds!
Im just "relieved" we all going to die one day And there's nothing rich people can do about that! all that money all that house all that wealth will mean absolutely nothing in the after life. Then what!???? Should be interesting 😅

@@Radovakos, I do.
@Radvokas bro why do you sound do pissed😂
When you are too rich to go to a brothel so you decorate your house like one lol
Facts
Tasteless comment.
@@manichairdo9265 thanks for noticing
Versailles Palace was a "brothel" once for Louis XIV
@@badenchalmers2206 Poor homeless spotted
I do like the ballroom and pool. It's great that he holds fundraisers for children. I wish people like him would give to the poor including seniors.
Speak to people in Stoke and Stafford about any "benevolent John Caudwell". They will p155 themselves laughing.
This guy's taste in decor in his house mirrors exactly the suit he's wearing!😂
Preach!
Th documentary was awesome seeing it get built.
Don't know but in the entire house doesn't seem to have natural lighting , lots of garish artificial lighting eg the billiard room . Everything looks dingy!
Too much of everything!!
Wow absolutely stunning home
as they say, money can't buy taste
@Lea Fisher And? It's HIS house and is HIS money and he spends his money as he wants

Everything is subjective
What a hideous house, bling bling!
What poor people like you know about taste 😏😏😏...a taste , you mean discount shop and Ikea 😁😄😂🤣
John, you have spectacular taste. Such a beautiful home all the details are absolutely divine ❤️
That's the most beautiful cinema room I've ever seen
Thank you. Nice home
Thank god you rescued it from being ostentatious with your 65m pound rennovation. All that restraint and tastefullness really shines through.

Beautiful house love from🇮🇳 India
Great Britain🇬🇧 ❤😊🥰😊❤
Ohhhhhhhh so lovely 🌹 your home is gorgeous
Oh my what a stunning home…but love my little two up two down just wish I had a bathroom upstairs :(
Beautiful cinema, love the idea of the family photos on the walls. Gorgeous home. Well deserved 🦆
I find the idea of putting family members faces on classic movie stars kinda creepy and tasteless to be honest.
Love this build ❤
Where is the front view of the house
beautiful house, nice guy.
The guy was changing clothes every time he showed a new room, yes mate we know you got hella money 😂
Sir it's been nice watching your palace but you are so humbal I first saw you in india rajasthan when you come to visit though mouse temple
Wonderful
What a beautiful home I loved every inch of it enjoy it. Love what you do for children ❤
Hello dear
How are you doing today?
Thank sir for showing us around personally!
Everyone to their own.
This guy been switching clothes on me for every room 😂
Now that is what you call a home
Heavenly mansion.
Where does he keep his bike?
I'm loving his whistling teeth 😀

Ask his wife
He has no wife
@@sueevans4110 Not now he doesn’t. He did though. Poor woman.
A wonderful home he is proud of 🌸
Well done John, I hope to buy it from you one day, it could be in few million years in the future, the Naked Fakir👍😁🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇭🇬🇸👍
Please come and do up my council bungalow 😂
87 mil for property and 68 mil for renno doesnt make 250 lol
You don’t understand how property prices work, do you?
this place is beyond my comprehension ...great he helps charity ...but how is that a home ...
Because it is Karen tf. How is your house a home?!!
💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 You have great taste 🌹
Tacky
This is the billionaires equivalent of a K&N air filter on a lowered Renault 5
Only like the cinema room
Fair play i say to both of them.😊
What about the pool?
This Man has it all
So beautiful house I wish I can live here just for one day
250M and the road doesnt even have Fibre Optics installed.
What is this tune at the end of the video? I love it 😀
Where did it all go wrong John?
A 250 mil pound home. I can't even get my head around that
Thats its market value, however, watching a documentary on the build, he comments that he paid around £87m for the building, but it required massive renovation, and then spent about £65m renovating it (despite assigning a £10m budget for the renovation)... still a rather large expensive house, but if he sold, it be worth £250m. nice profit.
Jusy how many times did he change clothes?!
Different suites, different suits.
what’s with the bitter hateful comments? my god some jealous (broke) people about
bro its always like that on every luxury home tour.
Emperor’s clothes. He will never be accepted by the true upper classes.
Love the decor and I love my own simple 4 bed detached more as I decorated it myself as I love interior design. 👌🇮🇪🍀🌹

Jimmy Saville did a lot of charity work
How come everything can be so absurdly expensive and yet look extremely tacky? Wow.
It was extensively excavated, n that ain’t cheap to do in Mayfair.
absolutely foul lol, looks like a hotel not a home
He seems like a very likeable person, but how is this not satire? "When I first came here it was unbelievably ostentatious,..... it was just a matter of making everything very tasteful."
Does a lot for "charidee" mate...but doesn't like to talk about it . .🙄
Wow
What a sad old man , just think what good he good of done for people who have nothing !!
Terrifying horror
lizards in the dining room! this guy is out of his mind
I wish I were rich
Money sure as hell don't buy you taste!!
This would be a glorious house if it was completely gutted of all his ghastly tacky interiors and redecorated properly. The fact that he starts by saying that it was previously ‘unbelievably ostentatious’ and he has redecorated ‘tastefully’ is so laughable. The chap hasn’t got an ounce of good taste in him 😂
Being rich does not make you a good person. Ask around in Eccleshall
Looks more like a club

Looks like the inside of a travellers caravan. Tasteful? I dont think so.
Really ?… different outfits Every time 😂😂😂😂😂
That is not a home🤦🤭
Nothing like a bit of inverted snobbery?
It’s Not worth the money
Loads of taste, all of it bad.
What an incredible waste of money, makes me sick.
This is unbelievable property and ostentatious...
Thai waitresses eh Johnny?
Why he's changing clothes.!!!!!
Next, he needed Jesus Christ for his salvation.
Who’s Jesus Christ? Is he an interior designer!
@@davidkennedy8929 He is your saviour and my saviour.
It's hideous lmao
Unbelievably ostentatious? WTF does he think it looks like now? It’s so tacky.
You can have trillions but you don't need all this luxury seriously.. probably not even cost 80 millions and they paid 250😂
It’s worth 250 mil after it was done up by him
It cost around £80 million to buy it then he renovated for £65 million not it is worth £250. But the real problem here is your jealousy
Awful.
But poky init John?
Tasteful .....?...
Ghastly
Gaudy nouveau riche monstrosity 🤮
Hi Aladdin, yep it’s all that and more, it’s grotesque. Aesthetic judgement isn’t a matter of taste. And this example underlines that point.
Gauche
No style
🤢🤢
Im just "relieved" we all going to die one day And there's nothing rich people can do about that! all that money all that house all that wealth will mean absolutely nothing in the after life. Then what!???? Should be interesting 😅
Just enjoy your broke life and stop worrying about what others have in their bank accounts.
@@teej70 just enjoy your superficial life (whatever left of it) and start worrying what's in your judgement day bank account!
If John could donate me a cool £100,000 I would be forever grateful.
I’ll pass that on to John. Is £100,000 enough for you?
Looks awful
An environmental disaster. Greed at its most disgusting
To each its own. Not bad at all.
NOTHING ABOUT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE A HOME.
GIVE THE MONEY BACK THAT YOU HAVE STOLEN.
