I worked on this house when it was built! It's beautiful and just up into the woods behind you can look down into the quarry/diving centre. The chandelier is on an electric winch for cleaning. There were 9 men hired for about 8 months from Greece to lay all of the marble and granite inside and out. All of the internal walls are solid block, not partition plasterboard walls. The conservatory and kitchen were supplied by Leaks and cost more than my house in Cardiff. Amazing to see it on here and see how much its going for now!

[@ThrottleClub-LiveVidsOnYouTube]

Wow. What did U work as?

That’s a millstone, used for grinding wheat and other grains, in the cottage at 17:00

[@lparky4409]

Grain grinding have horizontal stones with the grain going in the middle and flour coming out the edge. Looks more like a fruit grinder to me. Peace.

Now I'd expect our American schoolchildren not to know the millstone as they know little about anything. But your country has real history. These two must have been raised in cities, and know nothing of history or old methods of village life.

Okay, now THIS is my favorite house. I love the layout of the rooms upstairs.

[@balesjo]

Before this I watched their video on a 3-million pound castle and though it was a must-have. But seeing this, I think I like it better. Many old historic homes are like living in a maze, with rooms opening into other rooms and "period" baths, lack of central heat and air, etc. Also the ceiling height seemed more in scale for the rooms. Considering they had artisans from Greece brought in to do the marble work, and the quality of all the finishes, the price actually seems pretty reasonable.

[@klinezelcah]

living in this manor will make u feel like a royalty 👑

[@semidey1984]

In the cottage, the big stone looks like a millstone used in gristmills, for grinding wheat or other grains

[@steverennie5787]

It is a millstone... for making flour out of cereal grains (wheat, rye, oats and the like). Also it could be used to make cornmeal from corn kernals as well.

[@jamesbrook16]

Also it would have been turned by a horse. Some are driven by water (a water mill!), but not in this case I think.

[@spencerwilton5831]

Steve Rennie It's an apple mill for crushing apples as part of the cider making process. She even (sort of) mentioned it at the beginning, bit described the building as a "side mill" having clearly misheard the estate agent when it was described to her.

[@smoath]

@@spencerwilton5831 yes that makes sense! That would've bugged me not knowing 🤣 it'd be so satisfying to crush apples with that stone.

My gosh, the houses just keep getting better and better. This one is beautiful, and I love the old worldly feel of it as soon as you go inside, and the old millstone and grinding wheel, for grinding wheat into flour is a nice feature in the cottage. Thankyou so much for sharing 😀❤

[@smackedinthejaw]

I never cease to be amazed as to how far your money will go in the countryside. Not only is the main manor house enormous, but there is a lot of land AND another decent sized house in the garden. In Kensington, this same sum of money would get you a townhouse with postage stamp garden and on street parking

[@kanyewest2729]

The price is just as beautiful as the house

[@michelemartelossi541]

Gosh never seen an orangery like that! I'm stunned. Thank you Matt and Summer for letting me visit these beautiful Uk spots with you ❤️

[@balesjo]

For me, that would be the selling point (if I was at an income level that could afford it along with the gardener and one, maybe a housekeeper and an additional person for helping clean the house.

[@fionaokeefe1906]

@@balesjo your going to need an army of cleaners, repairmen, landscapers, gardeners, handymen, and security guards, butlers, cooks, chauffeurs and a personal assistant!

[@steverennie5787]

The Ice house... lovely piece of history. For folks who could afford it, they'd hire people to go out onto frozen lakes rivers or streams in the winter to harvest large blocks of ice. One or two people would carry them with these huge tongs, or by horse carriage, to the underground storage places. And even though its underground, it would be packed off with hay and such to help insulate it from the warmth of the summer (which thankfully wasn't much of issue in the UK I don't think - here in North America the summers are blisteringly hot). Home owner would then come in and chip off a chunk to fit inside of an Icebox in the kitchen - a wooden insulated box with a section on the bottom to fit the ice. Also, it wasn't during the 1700s this would have been around... this sort of thing wasn't a thing until the mid 1800s (and right up until the start of WW2). CHeers.

[@steverennie5787]

@Matt & summer um.... Investment idea?

[@leeandrew6555]

Whenever I see a house like this I mentally start counting the wages of the staff it would require to maintain the upkeep. For me there definitely comes a point with some of these homes where they go beyond luxury living and become a job within themselves. Beautiful none the less, if you can afford that lifestyle then more power to you.

[@lovenature904]

People who will live there are not people like us....

[@amorosogombe9650]

Yeah. I agree with you. There's a balance between luxury and a new full time occupation.

[@TheTimeDetective42]

Every house is a job. That's why we marry.

[@RS-xx9ve]

I think the previous owner was quite a successful builder.... I don't think it was long after he built it, he decided to sell up. So did he build it for himself... or a profit? Its on the site of a previous, delipidated place btw. As I recall its been listed for sale on and off for about 4 or 5 years. Whether its actually sold one time or more in that time, I don't know. The land registry would say. Anyway its a lot of upkeep with no really visible sources of income. So the question for most people should be.... WHY? Living in a very big house can cause problems most people don't understand. I have found that.

[@1mezion]

I love how quickly he changed his mind about going into the ice room when it occurred to him that could be some Woodland creature residing Within😆

My favourite house of them all so far. Lovely videos Summer and Matt, keep up the excellent work.

[@burtmacklin6443]

16:54 That's a mill or a milling stone. It could have been used to mill any number of things wheat into flour or even olives into oil guessing flour, England isn't know for it's olive oil. Looks to be top driven like a windmill but I suppose it could also have been driven by a beast of burden like a mule, donkey, or steer. This property was most likely a working farm at some point and this is an homage to its humble beginnings. Also, it could be that that entire contraption probably weighs a couple tons (or Tonnes) and was easier to just build around it. Gotta say it's adorable watching you two scratch your head guessing things like milk and wool. The thought of that thing making milk by crushing cows into a thin paste will haunt my dreams tonight.

[@popazz1]

A gardener, (not plural), goes in 3 days a week! KACHIIIIIING! A quality groundsman can command around £25 - 35,000 per year! A live in housekeeper around the same. Maybe a couple of part time cleaners on minimum wage, and you're looking at around at least £60k per year! Use some of the grounds for glamping, put an adventure trail in the woods and rent out the cottage as a holiday let and you might just recoup some of the money spent on staff. The cellar etc could be utilised for a home business of some description. Because unless you have limitless funds there's no way you could afford to live somewhere like this even if you won the Euromillions on a quadruple rollover jackpot. BUT, and I say this having seen a number of Matt & Summer's luxury property videos, you ARE getting a helluva lot for your £3& 3 quarter million! And it's the 1st luxury property I've seen that has a stair lift, (and a mobility scooter), so when can I move in? ;-)

[@orlaklassen6355]

The circular stone work with the wheel is a grinder that would have been pulled in a circle by a mule or horse (if bigger it would have been pulled by oxen, but this is small) So this was how they would have ground their wheat,or other crops that would require grinding for use. Neat feature that was kept, but can't be used as you wouldn't want an animal in the house and it would be too heavy to be pulled around by a person. In Russia where my Great-grandfather lived they would have used something similar to press the sunflower seeds to make oil.

[@kaloarepo288]

Greenhouse is amazing.The whole complex looks very Italianate in style.

[@emanuelacomerio5334]

Sorry, but did have a giggle at Summer's interpretation of the mill! Yes, it's for grinding wheat or corn into flour. Was kinda expecting a badger to leap out at Matt from the ice house! Obviously these were used before the invention of freezers. There is one at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, too. Fabulous house though! It does make me realise that I am preferring the older type of house, like this, with so much more character.

[@allanialex]

[@bethenecampbell6463]

[@burtmacklin6443]

19:00 The "Ice House" looks remarkably similar to a root cellar only worse. The root cellar works off of depth creating a constant temperature, I could be wrong but I believe the depth is 12ft or 3m where there is enough biomass that the temperature stays constant through the hottest and coldest days making it ideal for storing food or in this case Ice. If this is a good representation of an Ice House it's pretty clear why only 4 still exist in England. It isn't deep enough to do what it is intended to and the open wall defeats any purpose it might have had, unless of course there was a stair case going further down where Matt called it quits.

Does the land bordering it stretch all the way to estuary? This has views of over the estuary and isn't too far from Oxford or London, has a refined and modern, but quite an unimaginative interior.
