My left ear is enjoying it

[@jonlevin]

Set your audio to “mono” for this.

[@CarlosSanchez-dv1ew]

I thought i had gone deaf in my right ear ..

[@mrsjenni1978]

This is positively lovely! It takes such love and respect of history to do a project like this justice. ❤❤❤

[@McSnacks930]

I wish every episode was saving history or there was a show like that also

[@jamescunningham1973]

stunning restoration,well done to them

[@observer7418]

How could they have thought they could fix up 400yr old house of that size and update it for 70,000? After seeing hand built blown glass custom milled oak window (~3k) I know the 70,000 was bunk. These people have plenty of money. I guess it's like in America with House Hunters. "Hi I'm Jeremy. I'm a 28yr old butterfly hunter and my wife Milley 28, is makes quilts for wild raccoons. Our budget is $1.5mil"

[@bibi2440]

loooooooool you're analysis is 100% on the money

[@nicktw8688]

Hahaha

[@megb9700]

Only fans foot group? Can you imagine doing the taxes? Yes, I sold oil at the farmers market, and did online work for a luxury bath…the money is in the house now!

[@donaldbotsai5799]

just amazing.

[@robertw.1499]

I find it amazing that, although people are willing to invest their money, love, care and attention into a project like this, the Listed Building renovation requirements are so restrictive and expensive that it blows the planned budget to kingdom come. What would have happened if the building had just collapsed....

[@HolographicSweater]

he seems to enjoy when bad things happen to people, which makes him relatable

[@Thepourdeuxchanson]

Do you think so? I think he simply tells what's happening.

[@swanvictor887]

Nice home restored very well. The sad part of course is that just three years later, the banking crises hit hard and left many couples under terrible stress and financial dire straits. While I'm sure its worth a tidy sum of money, I'd wager it isn't what it was worth in 2007, before the banking crises.

[@gwenvanrensburg6830]

Love,love love this...good on you 💜💜💜

[@Lordcirdan]

Excelente! Que buen programa era este!

[@Forced2DoThis1]

I have to wonder if they've managed to hold onto this property. I probably won't check due to how sad I'd be if they've lost it in some way.

[@KaticaMagdic]

Izvrsna emisija😊

Need closed captions

[@mischapank2468]

Having filmed this episode in 2005-2007 I am wondering if they still are happily living there

[@lugubrioz]

They are divorced now and live together with their new partners

[@MThomas-oj8ns]

@@lugubrioz It was the rugby team that did it...

I love it

Lots of work ❤❤

[@christianmichael1970]

Great build but the audio is unbearably poor.

[@ricarquitectura4857]

Excellent job! Very, very tasteful! A bit over the top with the tecnology, though. And I wonder if they have gotten tired of that glass yet. Privacy, anyone?

[@Rainbowdash143]

Ah that last line aged terrificly. Kevin has some brutal commentary sometimes lol

[@corvettesbme]

I really like it

[@maccoll3644]

Shame they broke up. Louise opened it with Nicola as a cookery school. The stress of a gigantic mortgage must have been hard to live with.

[@swanvictor887]

whose Nichola?!

[@r8chlletters]

Yeah the audio has some issue…but as to the episode itself it’s amazing to think this ended up costing them 800k back in 2005 when they thought they could do it for ten times less. If they managed a gigantic mortgage they obviously were “good for it”!Wonder what it worth now?

[@jaimedavis439]

You know, I'm not saying I blame them, ppl like them or that id do anything different, however for ppl who watch this show (or any of the many like this) regularly there can be no question why our economics crashed the way they did. I've never seen someone stick to a budget & it's rare to see anyone bothered by the debt. Its the same in America. Everyone here wants to blame social.programs except its not the food program we should worry about but the fdic

[@richardwebb2348]

Oh Dear!!!

[@johnlovenhill1]

Lovely house. Hope they made it through the financial crisis

[@모-q4z]

Shows how lack of common sense can lead to being mortgage poor and divorced. Definitely not worth it.

[@niklar55]

Whatever they think it will cost, MULTIPLY IT!

[@safevoyage]

Emotional purchases = mega bucks

[@turtleinashirt]

Wait, wtf. There was a tax on windows? Governments of all sorts know no bounds.

[@lorrainestinnett4145]

What is Listed Building Consent

[@Sammy-hi4jy]

How much did they sell the house for?

[@mattnoeth4373]

Well done. Best to inve$t and have what you want. The ROI is peace of mind. 😊

[@ElstonGunnII]

In what world was a £70,000 budget going to be enough to renovate a 400 y/o house, especially when it's listed?? Goes to show even if you're a city professional you can definitely have a deficit of common sense.

[@nickforder8202]

No sound Get your act together

[@matt2021_a]

its so funny that the most dated thing in this 400 year old house is the '21st century' modern technology... all of it is obsolete in 2024.

[@claudiatrend3718]

I'm shocked that they spent so much money (they won't say the total?) on a fantasy. The low ceilings are claustrophobic. The bug damaged beams are creepy. How to heat the rooms with high ceilings? Nothing homey about this wonky museum. So sad.

[@elizabethverderosa3993]

They did say how much in the end. It was 400,000 something for the house and 350,000 for the reno.

[@susanaponte2080]

For being professional people they made a big expensive mistake buying this house. I dont think so much of it ! Its not all that attractive as an antique home. A lot of money invested for not a lot of character. It is more or less a modernish home. They could of kept their money and bought a new home that looked old. Thats what happens when you have more money than sense . im sure they regret their decisions now that they are older and hopefully wiser!! Also it wasnt up to par in the way it was decorated. It was tacky as far as the decorations went. Probably all their electronics are broken by now and they probably arent even together anymore sorry to say!! Oh well!!

[@greenwhale3976]

I'm in total agreement with you, Susan. Though I deeply wish that they are in a deep loving story, between them and with the ancient house. That's the reality of life, nothing is permanent and nothing is consistent!

[@Chrispolopotus]

Crazy how differing my opinion is! Can’t compare this to a modern made to look old place. If u can afford it of course hopefully they were able too

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

They're divorced. ​@@greenwhale3976

[@annemiura7767]

Such a joke selling bottles of flavored oil at the market! She could have made ten times that if she went back lawyering and let the husband help out with the odd jobs. Come to think of it, his solicitor’s income would have been a lot more than what he would have paid for the unskilled labor to do what he was doing. They must have had a trust fund or something…..

[@Peterbrendanalbert]

More the joke is on people who bought the oil..
