Derelict Victorian Villa | House Tour (Ep. 2)

[@TrinaMadeIt]

Hearing you say you want to preserve ALL the original features makes my heart so happy.

[@fdort3971]

I agree

[@debrav3273]

I really like how you have a picture of the floor plan with the room that you are in outline in red. So useful to keep track of where we are in the house. Thanks!

[@deniaridley]

Yes, great touch!

[@fdort3971]

I agree!

[@hypnotherapy69]

I love that you are keeping so much of the intended layout and not just ripping out every wall you can.

[@TangentOmega]

Architect here. Keep up the good work! In linear bathroom layouts, the vanity should go closest to the door, then toilet. Toilets are "shin knockers." Love the corner shower. If budget permits, think about adding glass to the wall by the windows. It will bring tons of light into the shower.

[@brendariley8982]

Agree, I was thinking glass blocks would be so nice in that spot for lighting.

[@N0N4M30]

Please also use the room from the staircase on second floor to make her closet and the room next too the master bedroom as master bathroom! It’ll be way better

[@laneyhesse8102]

I’m glad I caught this series while it’s still early on, can’t wait to see what y’all do with the project! ❤

[@karenwotton1727]

We have 26 rooms in our house, we have separate heating etc for 4 parts of the house so in winter we only heat what’s needed…. Loving these videos .. welcome to the never ending housework club…. Your realise why they had servants 😮 renovations are going to be amazing 😊

[@Mandy-q6c]

Wondering with cold damp climate in UK(correct location?), what items does one use to combat moisture/mold? Humidifier? Even with no heat to room?

[@Parianparlay]

Suggest you get an alarm as soon as you can, stay safe young lovely people! Brilliant that you keeping as much as you can of the old house too.

[@lindasherrell3335]

Old retired photographer here. I just found you and am watching the second video back to back. Under the food for thought heading, try not to stand between a window and the camera. The camera blacks you out and you are much too pretty to be blacked out of the photo. It also makes the camera over expose the features of the room. Just the nature of cameras. They are not anywhere near as sensitive to seeing in both light and shadows as the human eye. I was very happy to hear that you plan to retain as many of the original features as possible. Some thing need to be renovated but restoring as much of the old craftsmanship as possible just shows respect for painstaking work and cannot be duplicated in today’s world. P.S. my vote is for a stained glass window in the kitchen by the cellar door of grapes AND a wineglass half filled. Just an idea. I’m looking forward to continuing to watch your adventures and pray you will have great success. Take a break if it begins to drive you nuts.

[@elipotter369]

Last video a stained glass artist helpfully gave a lot of information about the window, including dark red or purple would come out looking black so be careful with how much is used, also suggested a light box - all excellent ideas and these savvy young owners were paying attention, so that's nice to see.

[@marlenabenson]

I think those beautiful doors would be perfect for another part of the house, maybe for the pantry, or a bathroom. You guys are so ambitious and I love that you're keeping so many original pieces. I'm excited to see your progress!😊

[@Mandy-q6c]

What about use old doors for master bedroom Milly’s closet.

[@lisettegroot3789]

If you have the opportunity, make all the fireplaces and kitchen cooking possibilities ready to use!!!! When there are bad times ahead, YOU will have a possibilitie to keep some rooms warm and cooking warm food when many others will be cold because there will not be electricity and no gas to cook with.... or you will just have cosy fires and nice features to show your friends when times stay peaceful ❤😊

[@SusanZiegler]

Having that little inset map of the floor plan while taking the tour was brilliant! Thank you!

[@suecollado8696]

💕You could use those stunning doors that you removed as either the doors to your master suite or doors into your dressing room💕

[@sylvanaire]

Or doors to the pantry, depending on the size requirements.🤷‍♀️😄 Just a thought!

[@HeartSurf]

@@sylvanairelove the pantry idea!

[@Mandy-q6c]

Suggested closet but like pantry too. Both have good eye at seeing what will work. We just all have two cents too but do what you feel will make it yours

[@StreetHawk77]

I'd do a bit of research in terms of turning off the heating to any unused rooms. Generally for an older house you want to heat all the rooms to prevent damp. This is the case for our Victorian house with solid brick walls

[@bobcaygeon6799]

Was just thinking that! Doesn't have to be the exact same warmth as everywhere else, BUT you want the heat/humidity as uniform as possible throughout the house, on a consistent basis, all through the year.

[@whoareyou8167x]

Yes as a 6 bed Victoria house owner I heat every room through the winter even though only 2 of the bedrooms are used now. Don’t want the potential of any damp and mould starting.

[@HeartSurf]

Agreed! We have a large Federal and we keep a minimum heat of 65F (18-19C) throughout the winter. We also use a dehumidifier in each of the basements and have had no issues. It has really kept the moisture in check.

[@amybaier9593]

I saw this comment about a library instead of another bedroom. I think that's a great Idea. Unless you are planning to have a big family, I would rather turn some guest bedrooms in functional rooms like a library/reading room, office room, etc. And is there no bathroom on the ground floor? I'm so excited to see more of your progress. This video was not boring at all. Can't wait for the endresults!

[@debraderoos5225]

The downstairs bathroom will be by the back staircase(which will be removed)

[@Isabelle-hk1og]

I'm so glad you showed us the entire house! it's going to be a stunning place

[@joannajones8218]

what a stunning property! Thank you for preserving this beautiful building! look forward to the progress!

[@_PJW_]

Very informative. But I *DO* think you making one big mistake. You have planned more bedrooms then you will ever need. The room of 13:43 with its marvellous fireplace would be absolutely ideal to turn into a cosy reading room / library. Would do it justice. Big rectangular table in the middle, a big sofa, and some deep armchairs. Since it catches so much light it could also double as a morning room. Imagine that with Christmas.

[@CMri]

Yeah, it sounded more like a hotel than a house. And so many bathrooms. I like your idea (a library is a must!) and also someone else's - to make a little room for towels and bed linen, etc.

[@bobcaygeon6799]

Pretty sure this isn't going to be their "forever home". It's home for now with an eye as investment property in the long run.

[@annamo9354]

There's always Airbnb... 😉

[@AriaSumner]

A bedroom can be repurposed into a library just by putting in the appropriate furniture. Better to build it with a wardrobe so it can count as a bedroom and then decorate however they want!

[@Ruby-ev9ym]

I love the library idea! Currently making my little office into a tiny library at home.

[@Sara_H114]

This is probably the best house tour I've seen. I can imagine the whole thing together so easily. Looks like it will be an amazing place when youre finished.

[@BelgraveVilla]

Wow thank you so much! We really appreciate it 🥰

[@kimba126]

I know from the first video that you want to cover the stone in the kitchen, but it adds so much character to the room. I think it would be a nice to keep it as part of the design, as a counterpoint to modern appliances. And for the stained glass window for light to the cellar, great idea! Perhaps you can source a salvage piece? I am looking forward to seeing this progress.

[@motion.resolved]

Yeah, I think I agree here - its kinda like having a pre-made "feature" wall.

[@Ms_CX]

Appreciation for the floor plan 🥰 I know it adds to the editing time but it makes it so much easier to follow along! 🙌

[@mmdanmm]

Bought for £410,000 in March. They managed to get a £40,000 discount on the original list price.

[@pegsbarton6353]

Absolute bargain, when you think of the modern tat you buy for that nowadays. It'll take some investment but they will be building and restoring it's value and worth as they go.

[@jislaik]

Amazing bargain for the potential. Two bed new build bungalow in my area was £600k.

[@kellymckay4836]

That’s just over 1.2 million Australian dollars. Totally worth it.

[@mayam297]

How lucky am I to have stumbled upon this renovation series now? I can't wait to see how it all comes together bit by bit. It's a gorgeous villa! I'd love to live in something like that one day - a house fit for generations to come

[@Bettea666]

I live next door to you! And ive always been fascinated by this beautiful building. I'm so excited to see your journey with it ❤

[@pleiadesluciernaga8877]

I find that so fascinating! I bet you’re delighted that you’ve new neighbors willing to give the property some TLC.

[@Mej_Javiky]

Your tour was great. Don't doubt yourself. You are charming and the tour was thorough and informative. Just echoing the sentiment that the accompaniment of the floor plan that keep up with your current location is outstanding, so thank you for that.

[@BelgraveVilla]

Thank you so much for this. That’s so kind, I really appreciate it 😊

[@Lobo4ever]

Great potential lies within this big renovation project. I think your plan is very smart and I wish you good luck in abundance! I suggest you install a second laundry room upstairs, where most laundry will be generated. You'll be glad you did!

[@daveb5016]

I'm definitely a fan of keeping as much original as possible but at the same time there needs to be a balance with what's original and what's functional. Great job so far.

[@fernanda33917]

Obsessed with these chronicles!! I think I may have been an architect or engineer in a former life because this is all so fascinating to me!!! I can not wait to keep going on this journey with you! ❤

[@BelgraveVilla]

Such a lovely comment, thank you so much for following along ❤️❤️

[@teepeeX]

Make sure you have some sort of fire exit plans as it would be that second staircase.. i know it sounds funny but outside of our 3 story old house we had a small heavy duty bar put in each bedroom, ( u cant notice outside ) and a emergency harness rig set ready to go.. all you had to do was climb in harness and attach rope toggle to bar 😊 ​@BelgraveVilla

[@pegsbarton6353]

@@teepeeX Sensible idea in a big house where it would take time to run outside.

[@patobrien6364]

The chapel ceiling is stunning and worth a bit of love,as funds allow ❤️ the 2 main fireplaces, WOWZERS. All reminds me of my childhood home, an Edwardian, with welly 😎 You're being both respectful and practical in your design. Love the channel, waiting for updates to see your progress. Well done folks 👏👏 Best of British (+ Irish 😂) !!

[@goldfishgames]

For the future stained glass window, in order to provide some illumination for the cellar stair well- have the electrician wire the top of it now for a light. Even if you don’t use it the option is there. What I’d suggest is to get an iridescent piece of glass or have the stained glass piece made from glass which has these qualities. Once the opening is filled with your choice, have a light installed using a very low watt bulb or LED on a light/dark sensor so that it automatically comes on and off. You’re then providing a very low light or dim night light for that area. Lighting is so important for when you are living in and using the rooms. I’d be inclined to have a double stained glass window installed, one with the design facing the room and the other that sheet of iridescent glass facing the staircase. This way you’re covering up the light fixture. Biggest problem to solve is access to service it or change bulbs.

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

That first fireplace looked like a red coloured marble which at the time this house was built was quite expensive, usually it was plain white marble, I think in regard to the back stair I would consider leaving space for an elevator to future proof the house. I really like the fact that you are boarding the rooms to allow for the re-wire but adding in sound and thermal padding, a very smart move to save on channeling the walls and possibly causing issues with the plaster ceilings.

[@amandaoconnor2854]

Ohhh I think you're right about a future elevator. My husband was a ski racer in his youth and would have had daily problems with those stairs by age 35. You never know what ages you'd be leaving out nor why if you wanted to sell on later.

[@TheGoodbyeGirl]

@@amandaoconnor2854 Yeah, why limit your selling audience if you dont have to. Plus that location is nice and central.

[@vault7137]

Loved the tour! Ya'll sure have your work cut out for you. We're renovating a 70s-style ranch at the moment, and after watching this, I won't complain about the work :) We're renovating every room, but the kitchen and bath will be completely gutted and made modern. The 3 bedrooms and living room just need new paint, stain & poly on the trim, and all the hardwood floors are being sanded and stained. Child's play to your reno!

[@Chihiro33333]

OMG what a fantastic house! And thank you for this very well made tour-video, with the map pointing out each room. That really helped getting a picture of the layout and your ideas for the future. I’m from Sweden, and here the living room is always the largest room with most light and the heart of the building, so I would’ve chosen the large room on the second floor for that, instead of the chapel. But I’m sure you know what works for you and I think your plans and ideas sounds great, and I am really looking forward to follow you in this journey. 😀

[@alexsilva-vn7jc]

That landing with the staircase and red carpet (in the 5 year old picture) gave me Fawlty Towers vibes! 😂

[@bobcaygeon6799]

OMG yes!!! 😂

[@dsophrae]

Not boring at all, the tour was an informative, calming experience, that i thoroughly enjoyed ❤

[@BelgraveVilla]

Thank you so much! That's so kind 🥰

[@JEM1989]

I love that yall are keeping the fireplaces, the stair cases, ect. Super smart to protect them while working around them, the separate water heaters, and the metal framing for insulation and wiring. As ya'll would say brilliant! A lot of people just don't do that! great job so far!

[@jennyjones139]

I have just come across your videos and cannot wait to see your progress with the renovations. I am amazed at the number of your people prepared to take on things like this. It is heartwarming to see. Good luck and I will be continuing to watch.

[@hannetang]

Very well done, I shall be following your progress. I would also move the servants staircase and put a toilet for the downstairs floor.

[@w.j.j.vanschagen2542]

Your house will be even more beautifull after the renovatie is done. You could also make a closet with the hidden door. It would be a nice feature in the room. Wishing you both good luck!

[@Ymer85]

A reason to keep the other stairs, could be in case of a fire. Put in fireproof doors between them, and you’ll always have a safe route downstairs.

[@GenuinelyJodi]

I think it’s smart to do the walls like you are. Love seeing the pics as well. I can see why you fell in love with this beautiful home and cannot wait to catch up on your progress!

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

Very cool house. Lots of exciting features. The plot of land is interesting too!

[@petertgeorgiev]

Great house and amazing project! Can't wait to follow all the stages till completion. The only thing I am missing in the plans fo the floors is a snug/second living room area. It is a huge house, lots of bedrooms, one day possibly children, it is always nice to have a second option, but I guess ground floor study can always be transformed into a snug in the future, it also had a fireplace anyway. Cheers!

[@denisedineen8475]

I love watching restorations. Your videos are great

[@HeartSurf]

I love watching restorations, especially when the home and original features are honored. Some aren’t practical, though, and take up so much space. We have a 1790 Federal in the US and we are contemplating removing the servant stairs to build out the master wing of the home for a larger suite. Our bathroom is somehow the smallest with the worst finishes 😂 I’m looking forward to following your progress. Amazing work thus far!

[@GligaChaz]

On the parts of house you won't use much, make sure you've got thermostats on the radiators, then you can put them on very low and close the doors. That'll Keep your bill down slightly, but also maybe help prevent damp issues. I think its best not to turn radiators right off anyway.

[@gillianlaing1073]

I love all the beautiful fireplaces

[@mrsacalpito4277]

And the crown molding in the larger bedroom with all the light! I hope it will be persevered!

[@sallyward5937]

Thank you for going through the trouble to add the floor plan on screen for the tour! It was very helpful, however remember that closed-captioning appears at the bottom of the screen, so it requires a little maneuvering, turning them off and on and re-watching portions to catch all the spoken words. Great job though, thank you for sharing your journey with us! 😁🇺🇸

[@beverlyjjohnston6207]

As others have stated, you have a splendid property and shared some well thought out plans! One thing I'd like to share ( remembering that you casually suggested 'grapes or something ' for the window giving light to the cellar stair) : please consider a leaded glass style window, whether you choose clear or textured glass, it will blend in with the style and period of the house. Many stained glass pieces soon lose their charm and become kitschy over time. Wishing you great success as you proceed in this renovation! Cheers from Canada!

[@calgram]

AGREE!!! a clear leaded glass feature will look elevated and timeless.

[@banness4711]

Love your thought process for this reno! One suggestion: use the second stairwell to install a lift (elevator). The stairwell lends itself already for one and if you both plan to make this your forever home having one would be wise as you “age in place” - additionally, it would be helpful for guests, etc. 😊 Keep up the great work! It’s looking fantastic!

[@cindys2015]

Wow. That was a lot of work planing each area. I think your ideas for the white stairway are an excellent use of the space. I do have one suggestion. Instead of putting the exterior door you took out of the chapel on a wall it might be nice to use it as the pantry door in the kitchen. Keep up the good work.

[@Celeste-dp5ur]

you have a really soothing speaking voice!

[@bcgrote]

Always a struggle about whether servant's stairs should stay or go. You make a good point about not really needing 2 stairways so close. And I like the way you've "cheated" space to make the areas work for you. Exciting times ahead!

[@LISA75_]

Love the fact that you are not just ripping out everything , but you are willing to get rid of the stuff that makes no sense like the 2nd staircase , wish you all the best with this, love seeing places like this get a new life and not just fall into complete neglect .

[@grauekatze]

Wow. Fingers crossed it all works out, what an amazing house.

A home of that size has failed in the past as it cannot fund its upkeep…I’d recommend that you have a semi separate 1 bed apartment in there somewhere, so that at least you have some income, for tougher times. Nice video.

[@catseyes8377]

Great idea

[@thecocktailian2091]

They are containing the second floor to an independent nature. Otherwise it's just a large two bedroom home. They are adding the insulation, should do the double glazing. Wont be the money sink it originally was.

[@bobcaygeon6799]

@@thecocktailian2091 Yes, I imagine that everything they plan then agree on is with an eye on the present & the future. Having the property bring in some income is 100% smart & necessary. Sounds like they're getting good advice from others behind the scene 🙂

[@lindasteinhauer1951]

Very enjoyable to watch. It's going to be interesting following your progress! Following you from Wisconsin, USA

[@pegsbarton6353]

You have a fabulous place there, lots of work, but you seem to be on top of everything you need to be. It looks like the white staircase might have been like a servants staircase, same with some of the lesser bedrooms and bathrooms, intended for staff use. Though some of the lesser rooms seem to have good daylight, which was usually snaffled by the family. This house seems slightly different in that respect, but I'm just starting following your videos so haven't got the full picture yet, but it has maybe been a more public building, with the little chapel and everything. Interesting to see what you unearth as you go through your reno. The marbled fireplaces...I bought an old house [circa1897] back in the 80's and it had two very beautifully carved fireplaces which I assumed were marble. It turns out they were slate, which had then been painted with a marble design. Sadly it wasn't realised in time and the paint was damaged by renovations around the fireplace, so had to be stripped back to slate. I actually preferred the black slate instead of a strange maroon paint job but yours is a lot prettier, but hopefully they ARE marble. And the house is a much more impressive building than my old terrace so your fireplaces should be better stuff. I'm just loving all the details and quirkiness of the place, and it looks as if you are going to utilise all its potential. Well done on your find, and I wish you every success in your project. From above your house/plot almost seems like an island oasis with the trees around it. I hope you can keep them to keep that screened effect around you. Good luck with it all.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

This is gonna be a stunning home when you're done with it! I really hope you continue to post on KZbin because I'm looking forward to seeing it! The master bedroom is huge and so bright. And I love the first guest room on the top floor. It will be super cozy! I love the exposed beams! I know a lot of people in your first video mentioned keeping the stone wall in the kitchen exposed. I hope you will consider it since it is so beautiful and would give the room so much character. Obviously, it's not our house though.😁

Love these videos subscribed today . Watching from Alabama in the USA

[@chazzyb8660]

Great tour, thanks. Should make a great home. What a lot of work though. My grand-parents had one of those 1929 Triplex grates in my gran's (1929) kitchen space. They lived on the moors outside Sheffield, in a house built around 1929. Although she had a more modern, 1960s(?), kitchen (this would have been in the 1970s) she still used to fire up the Triplex, mainly because it had the right heat and humidity for cooking proper Yorkshire pudding, and Parkin cake. Also it was great for heating the kitchen. Coal was (relatively) cheap, but the then new oil-fired central heating was expensive to run, and not very efficient. They should really have kept the old coal fired boiler, as the mines were still in full production back then, but it was a dirty job to load it up.

[@dtulip1]

Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not trying to be condescending, but it is so nice to see young people restoring/preserving an old house and its features. Did you say in the last video that you had the old plans for it? I ask cos that main staircase seems weird, like its been cut off?

[@jamescollins6085]

That top room with the interesting ceiling would make for a lovely home cinema. The wall is the perfect width for a good-sized projector screen or TV.

[@ChrisRubeo]

The metal studs and the plywood may give you quite a number of problems at the edges of the doorways, windows, baseboard, etc - unless you plan on removing the trim and somehow extending the jambs out, your new wall surface is going to be almost even with all your trim. Think about all those edges - not just your wall surface.

Saw a similar property near me, outside UK. €100,000, 4 floors, cellar, stables, built 1870....But all listed and protected. Can't drill a single hole without lots of paperwork and approvals. Had to pass on it. Good luck with your project!

[@bobcaygeon6799]

Yes, I wondered the same. Any video I have seen of these European properties, the OP's usually (and very quickly, unfortunately) run into the proverbial "wall" of red tape & hoops to meet and jump through, which seem to change from day to day and cause the project to be hung up for weeks/months. Which then translates into a huge financial outlay that wasn't truly planned on in the early days. I mean, I'm super HAPPY for them that it's flying along. Just wondered how they're pulling it off.
