[@David-th2ug]

Thank God for the owners who cherished this house even before moving in. Thank the heavens they could afford it ,huge thanks to the architects. The result a beautiful house that will be loved and be home to families for another 200 years. It is truly beautiful.

[@JK-sh8rc]

The restoration must have cost millions. One of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen. If I lived there I'd never want to leave. Everything is just exquisite.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Such an elegant, timeless, inviting, comfortable and very English home. A triumph.

[@andyreeves426]

I was expecting the owners to be stuffy posh but they’re delightfully humble and it’s a lovely home, all credit to them ❤

Im grateful to the people who have the time and money to put into a home like this. Its gorgeous. We're a lucky to have them saved.

[@shamirpatel3569]

I love the addition as it’s done sympathetically and the original house has been really elegantly restored with consideration given to the manner in which one lives today while still paying respect to the past in the form and material context.

[@sbaumgartner9848]

Very well said. I find it calming.

[@trinidad2450]

I totally agree with you. I’ve seen loads of modern additions that don’t mesh well with the Victorian front.

[@traceyglass9762]

A charming home, sensitively restored. Well done all involved.

[@trishahopkins8199]

Stunning! When good taste and a mountain of cash meet ❤️

[@steve6121]

Can’t imagine anything better than this - remarkably cosy for a large but obscenely big property. Compliments to all involved.

[@steve6121]

Meant to say not obscenely big

[@susantaylor5068]

This house is filled with love - what a wonderful couple who have kept the history, respected the countryside and brought the House back to it’s almost original form. What a lucky family to share in their passion.

[@kyracl7318]

This is sensational! It took my breath away! Wow nod to all! This is what is missing in modern architecture. Modernity doesn’t need to be obvious❤.

[@tabithan2978]

Congrats to you for saving this beautiful old home. Enormous energy, time, money, but looks worth it. Stunning.

[@marymatthews678]

An elegant house for an elegant woman - so classy. I am going green with envy as I watch this! Obviously a couple who have worked hard; delighted for them.

[@robertfarrington3894]

Incredible house. Wonderful how they have kept it in keeping with the original but evolved it for future generations.

[@alanfurlong-drummer4419]

What an absolutely beautiful dream like home, what a lovely couple and the Architect is a genius.

[@carlosc3768]

Carol and Gerry enjoy your beautiful home and thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!

[@enuclear]

In our perilous times, it is so wonderful to see a couple investing in a home and place that will generate the same aesthetic response in hundreds of years as it has done for centuries. So thank you RIBA. This house instills so much hope as well as beauty.

[@RR4kindness]

Wow! Congratulations on this remarkable achievement! A beautifully elegant, timeless, and incredibly respectful renovation, along with a perfect new addition to an already gorgeous house. Nothing but respect, admiration, and awe for what you've created and the meticulous attention to detail throughout. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Beautiful. We have just restored a detached 17th century cottage. Can only imagine the work that has gone into that house. It's looks magnificent!

[@Ali-Bea]

Absolutely stunning. It’s so rare to see houses this sensitively and stylishly extended and modernised. Fantastic.

[@BonaKim-hd8ec]

What an exquisite, warm and welcoming stately home and landscape. Most of us regular people probably couldn’t afford the lawnmowing and groundskeeping bills plus taxes, let alone the renovations and interior design 😅 Lovely to dream…

[@jon99blue]

Beautiful house but that office! Wow...just stunning use of that long barn and my favourite part of their lovely home. Hope they have many years enjoying their property.

[@sdvinteriors_designstudio]

Magnificent restoration 👏

[@VickersDoorter]

2:35. Around 25 years ago I owned Yaxley Hall, Suffolk. It had a 33ft long barrel-vaulted ceiling in an upstairs room, along with ornate vine-styled plasterwork, detailed in gold paint. This one looks very impressive indeed.

[@BlueSaphire70]

Absolutely lovely! You get to enjoy all the modern amenities without sacrificing beauty or history. It must be a dream to live there! 😊

[@LisaofHopewell]

Beautiful. Love the rocking horses--what a fun touch.

[@HistoricHomePlans]

It's nice to see the RIBA recognize projects like this. From the thumbnail I mistakenly assumed it was a new Classical house. The RIBA has yet to recognize the validity and value in new Classical works. But maybe it will get there eventually. Anyway, I'm always grateful to owners who take on such a challenge. We and future generations owe them a debt of gratitude.

Potentially the most beautiful home I've ever seen in terms of proportions, style, location, position and sympathy. The only little thing it's missing is a huge car barn.

Wonderful. This was a massive project. At the beginning it was surely not possible to calculate the cost of this renovation. But the results are staggering. 😊😊😊

[@hgtnbugo1750]

Pure culture, charm and class!! Not that shiny grey tasteless marble that’s normally thrown about.

[@JaneNewAuthor]

I totally agree!
