No stream tomorrow, well it’s unlikely! We are exploring for two days and filming our first collaboration in a long time! See our social media to stay updated 😃

[@englishcountrylife3805]

That should be interesting.

[@Fran_SG]

A place like this MUST be preserved.

[@Piecenotwar]

Why and preserved for who?.

[@ChickenNugget-dk9hp]

@@Piecenotwar Its historical, built in the 1700's it should be restored.

[@Piecenotwar]

@@ChickenNugget-dk9hp It would cost millions to restore to something usable, then the ongoing upkeep would be eye watering. Then who is going to use it?.

[@cxltiste]

honestly? i would be curious to see if a place like that could be turned into a place people can pay money to stay in for a while. not quite a hotel but that which can take visitors back in time to commonly made meals, activities, and other such things!@@Piecenotwar

Couldn't be better timed for me - I am writing a thriller and needed an 18th century mansion. Fantastic video which I will keep playing. An absolute gem. Wish I could buy it. Thank you very much for sharing this valuable piece. Good luck in your travels. I shall watch out for anything else in 1700's

[@59patrickw]

The stories this place could tell from time gone by . A wonderful find and shown to its best

[@brianmachan6959]

Absolutely gorgeous. It gives me chills. Thank you for sharing this.

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Loved your use of overlay images that showed how rooms looked in their former glory. Really fascinating video, couldn't help thinking about those people who had lived there.

[@DEAD-DROP]

Damn, this was special one! So many beautiful details and captured really well! Great work as always guys!

[@susiegnall3971]

So sad to see such a gorgeous home fall into disrepair! I’m so glad you got this one on video to remember!

[@johorrocks8927]

fantastic, loved it, this had everything great architecture, natural decay and I loved the pics from back in time of then and now one of your best finds in my opinion. I hope it gets saved although I doubt it...great film..

[@OMSGA]

Lovely video enjoy watching them on a Friday. All the best Mat

[@frasermathers2287]

As always Lads you never disappoint! Outstanding building very well captured in your footage and stills giving us a clear picture into what was obviously an amazing building in its day. Your commentary always leaves me with that feeling that I am standing there beside you as you film. Thanks again!

[@bobbythomas200420032]

That was an ecellent video. I would like to thank you so much for taking them time to fillm make and edit this video and sharing it with us. The mansion is so impressive it made me go wow. The building is so beautiful and its a shame it is in the state it in. The job you guys did on the video the way you captured the buildong was excellent and the commentry to. I really enjoyed watching it.

[@jacqueline7986]

Such Beautiful Ceilings The Architecture Is Magnificent, Extremely Lucky You Were Able To See The Beauty Before Disaster, Great Work Guys Love The Mansion

[@robfellows4096]

That huge fireplace reminds me of a dentist I went to as a kid which had set up in a 17th century building similar to this. The room used as the waiting room had a fireplace like that and furniture to match - all dark wood, huge cupboards and cabinets decorated with snarling creature heads - lions, bears, dragons. It was utterly terrifying to visit, I used to call it Dracula's Dentist! Didn't have that amazing central hall though. Shame that the extent of the protection from water damage is some nailed on plastic sheeting. You caught it at the perfect time between decay and collapse. Cheers for another stunning explore.

[@ciaranburke3243]

Beautiful place 😍 , glad you are visiting Ireland regularly as there is a lot of cool stuff to explore here 👍

[@trippy_boxer_dog2170]

i absolutely love your photographic work! it really makes your videos stand out from the crowd. love it. really great stuff.

[@daffyduk77]

the ceilings & skylight are a visual blowout, thanks guys

[@clareharrison3361]

Stunning, I would have loved to have seen every bit of it, back in the day.

[@lizstevenson7801]

A beautiful building and thank you for you detailed camara work, well done. 💕

[@fishmongers]

Grand place. 12' ceilings on the 1st floor must have made for a nice cool environment during the summers. I was kind of hoping to see the attic space

[@silkwebspider7506]

Unbelievablely beautiful, such a shame these amazing buildings just rot away.

[@Skarfp]

I hope you're always wearing a mask when you go into these old places, so much mold! I hope that someday this old house will be bought and restored back to it's original beauty.

[@mikemacdavy8086]

Kilcooley Estate was magnificent. It can be again, if the wealthy Ulster business man who owns the property would finally decide to sell it or renovate it. It could be an awesome country hotel or a magnificent country home for a wealthy family.

[@khaledbk5372]

Wow I love how sunny it is

[@lisacooper3991]

Ohh goodness it's gorgeous 🥰.. I love Victorian Era and ole history stories. Great video.. thanks for sharing.. just subscribed.. hey from South Carolina USA..

[@bruceaisher]

I found this video quite sad to watch. Such a relic of a time gone by and it's really sad to think of it just sat there now in it's lost glory. It would take so much work and money to restore it but it really needs to be saved or at the very least made water tight. Great job as always lads.

[@LeeHoMusic]

guys I always wanted to explore this building wasn't sure if its accessible. Thanks for the video, it was amazing to watch it. I enjoyed every second of it!!!!

[@fToo]

A great explore - thank you for sharing. A really strange mix of periods of decoration - some fairly nasty attempts at bathroom refurbishments !

[@dwrowley]

Great video and exploration, the level of decay is amazing, lovely old house, nice that you managed to get original pictures as well to put in

[@markramsay6399]

Stunning house - and video. Love your channel. Redcar recently was amazing.

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

Amazing place guys. Would have been even more amazing in its day, but as always you have done an amazing job documenting this place

[@Sandra-ww6oz]

Stunning architecture thanks Guys, it's sad to think that this beautiful country mansion beautifully maintained through generations was sold off to Developers with no timely commitment to maintaining the historical significance of this architectural wonder. Greetings and good vibes from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤🇬🇧 🐨

[@samandjennysambrook]

Amazing place.i hope it can be saved.👍

[@OLIFAB]

Wow this place is stunning! Hopefully someone will save it!!

[@richardwalsh1838]

This house has remarkably similar architecture to Knocklofty house in South Tipperary which is also abandoned and heading for dereliction. Keep making these great videos.

[@suedenym8666]

Sensitively done, thank you. Buying and not developing shouldn't be allowed. I agree that planners often out huge problems in the way sometimes so perhaps they too need to reassess their demands.

[@MimicoBungalow]

I noticed that it had radiators all the way through but when you were in the basement you forgot to document the boiler room! Maybe it's just me but I'm always fascinated to see how large the heating source is in houses like this. Quite obvious the rooms were originally heated with fireplaces but there were so many low profile radiators around the rooms there must've been a good sized boiler in the basement. I hope somebody can do something with this maybe just retain the centre hall with that high ceiling and the rest of it can come down!

[@Gail-j8j]

Love the Staircase❤

[@sueneilen4526]

Wow what a beautiful place

Thank you so much 😀

Modern lightbulbs in the fittings!

[@mujtabashah3667]

Great video. Shows the temporal life we have here on earth. Would the owners of this magnificent home ever imagined it turning like this? I understand the old days where the rich basically had no choice but to build stately homes and palaces to keep various skilled trades employed and to house the many servants who constantly maintained the estate, but today many would be unwilling to take the hazard of owning a large home only for it to become a liability with huge costs in energy and it's upkeep.

[@patriciarussell756]

Beautiful.Ireland has so much history.The U.S. doesn't seem to have many abandoned mansions.

[@roomullan3050]

Wow amazing building

[@theguywhomakesstuffbutbetter]

Looks like it could be a rare find from the outside.

[@cindygibbs1964]

Best explore ever!

[@jaycruzsemple]

Is there any chance of a place like this being bought by a lottery winner and fully restored thanks and also one more question out of all the amazing old buildings you have explored as any of them actually been bought and restored and any chance of you guys going up to the present owner and asking to do a video with an update thanks hope you guys are all keeping well I love all the stuff you do it and Scotland and especially in Glasgow I wish you guys would do some castles in Scotland

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

awesome video thanks for shering

[@kurtovesen2975]

love your videos .

[@waynemoseley691]

👋👋well done !

[@michaelobrien9825]

NATURE WILL ALWAYS RECLAIM, NEVERTHELESS AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS BUILDING TO EXPLORE, I TAKE IT THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN USED IN RECENT YEARS ?.

[@EuropeanIreland]

Hello lads where is that castle ok because I might be interested in trying to buy it

[@reckz420]

How would the residents keep warm during winter months - such big mansion with wide open rooms, high ceilings.

[@catlover132]

While I love Georgian architecture, as an Irish person, it is difficult to separate the buildings from what they represent: land was stolen from indigenous Irish. Many owners of these mansions not only ignored but even evicted starving families during the famine - while profiting from food exports. 1 million people died - more than 10% of the population.

[@MhWow66]

That arga cooker after restore is worth a fortune..

[@SirVox-li2cb]

What I DON'T LIKE about these videos, is the lack of information given. NO history given about these places

[@Gail-j8j]

Wow❤

[@andybno2]

oh to have a rewind button to see how it all looked

[@joemcclellan1736]

Nice 🙂👍

[@johnbennett226]

😀cool

[@rosewhite---]

hasn't been abandoned look by look of the lamp bulb?

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

You'll have to thank, lead & copper thieves for stripping the roof of flashing, valleys and flat lead sheets, and any plumbing, that further flooding from header tanks that rain fill, and empty through ceilings for this level of destruction. Usually Arsonists will finish the slow painful misery of this mansion or any building that they choose to burn.

[@hegeskeide7634]

Lovely,but to damage,it will cost to much to fix it

[@stephanied5386]

I found this video really exciting, do you ever have any paranormal experiences in these houses? Please share 😃🙌🏼

[@YTPEXPERT]

Microwaves were available in the 80s. Sad to see it dilapidated in short time

[@Itsahardknocklife9690]

Surely an owner has reached out. Someone must’ve seen one of your videos and realised it was their property.

[@Itsahardknocklife9690]

And what a video, by the way! It’s enthralling

[@russmiddleton5486]

Do not lick the green wallpaper! If it's old enough it might contain arsenic.

[@karenfarr1335]

What a shame

Deconsumption in the UK In terms of total energy consumption, the UK used 167,812 ktoe in 2019 (3.4% less than in 2018), 153,908 ktoe in 2020 (8.3% less than in 2019), and 159,855 ktoe in 2021 (3.9% more than in 2020), a total aggregate decrease of 4.7% from 2019 to 2021. “Consumption per capita has shrunk by almost a third since 2000, bringing it to 2.3 toe in 2021. Electricity consumption per capita dropped by more than 20%, from 5 800 kWh in 2000 to 4 300 kWh in 2020.” (Source) In terms of electricity consumption, it “rebounded by 1.5% in 2021 to 293 TWh, after a 4.5% drop in 2020. Between 2005 and 2019, electricity consumption declined on average by 1.2%/year.” (Source) In terms of natural gas consumption, the UK used 78,445 mcm in 2019 (1.1% less than in 2018), 73,751 mcm in 2020 (6% less than in 2019), and 78,114 mcm in 2021 (5.9% more than in 2020), a total aggregate decrease of 0.4% from 2019 to 2021. In terms of crude oil production, the UK produced 52,488 kt in 2019 (3.2% more than in 2018), 48,985 kt in 2020 (6.7% less than in 2019), and 40,845 kt in 2021 (16.6% less than in 2020), a total aggregate decrease of 22.2% from 2019 to 2021. The UK became a net crude oil importer in 2005 and imported a net amount of 8,000 kt (= 8 Mt) in 2021. In terms of oil consumption, it “rebounded by 6% in 2021 after a 15% decrease in 2020. Previously, oil consumption declined by 2%/year between 2017 and 2019 after a 2%/year increase between 2013 and 2017, led by the transport and petrochemical sectors. Over 2005-2013, oil consumption decreased by around 3%/year.” (Source) In terms of coal consumption, the UK used 2,591 kt in 2019 (6.9% less than in 2018), 1,673 kt in 2020 (35.4% less than in 2019), and 1,054 kt in 2021 (37% less than in 2020), a total aggregate decrease of 59.3% from 2019 to 2021. In terms of renewables, the share of renewables in electricity production was 37.45% in 2019, 43.77% in 2020, and 40.79% in 2021, a two-year gain of 3.34% from 2019 to 2021. The UK is 64.8% energy independent and emits 4.75 tCO2/capita as of 2021. (Source) The engineered energy squeeze has forced inflation upwards to 11.1% and this is reflected in the consumer price index (CPI) across the board. “It is the highest inflation rate since October 1981, with main upward pressure coming from housing and household services (26.6% vs 20.2%), namely gas (128.9%) and electricity (65.7%). However, the rise was constrained by the Energy Price Guarantee, with the average unit cost of gas at 10.3 p/kWh, and electricity at 34 p/kWh. Without the EPG, the average unit prices for gas and electricity were expected to rise to 14.8 p/kWh and 51.9 p/kWh, respectively. Inflation would have risen to around 13.8% had the government not intervened to limit the price of household energy bills. Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages (16.2% vs 14.5%) also marched higher.” (Source) The British retail price index (RPI) shows an even more alarming explosion of the inflation rate than the consumer price index (CPI). According to the RPI, a basket of goods valued at 283 pounds in January 2019, rose to 295 pounds in January 2020, to 318 pounds in January 2022, and to nearly 348 pounds in September 2022. This makes for a rise in overall inflation of 23% from January 2019 to October 2022. The gross domestic product of the UK dropped from 2.25 trillion British pounds in 2019 to 2.04 trillion in 2020 (a 9.3% drop), and then rose to 2.19 trillion pounds in 2021. The UK economy therefore shrank by 2.5% from 2019 to 2021, which mirrors the 2.6% decrease in its total population during the same period. As such, the UK has succeeded in stabilizing both its population and its consumption at lower rates than in 2019. Consequently, the UK is in recession as of 2022 and will contract by a further 1.4% in 2023, as announced by Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. (Source)
