Yes please!!!! Would LOVE to see a 2023 update

[@jerwinsalo5929]

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzbin.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

[@KarleneE]

Everything that needs to be said about that lovely couple, can be seen in their reaction to original shutter handles. He positively beamed and she was moved to tears! Such good people! I wish them every happiness!

[@KarleneE]

​@@tristanchaim7647 WHY would you ever need to HACK your FRIEND'S account? Couldn't you just ask them for access if they're such a good friend? Sounds shady, sketchy and illegal, but have at'er if that's your kind of thing.

[@krisg3984]

This was a joy to observe this couple’s love , enjoyment and commitment

[@o2bnov0307]

Truly beautiful! I can only imagine that those who are restoring structures will be calling this couple to work on their projects. Learning those old crafts will be able to be put to use in new careers. Quality work, done with love. Their goodness can be shared with the rest of the nation and her history.

[@ElsieDreamWorld]

This is a couple to admire. May God grant them many years of joy in their tiny beautifully perfect home.

[@atleeriksen8514]

I think this is my favorite episode. Vanessa and Nik is just top shelf people.

[@oliviaginsbourg6541]

❤ most incredible couple who succeeded without compromise ❤

[@maganalia]

Absolutely beautiful. I could quite happily live in that wee cottage with my wee dog and be happy ever after.

[@northerngirl4666]

One of the best and most charming show on restoration surpassed by the passion of this lovely and loving couple! I know this is 11 years old, but it’s the best!

[@maracohen5930]

This was my fave of all of this series. I wish they had added the followup which shows the completed project with extension. Lovely place. Nice couple, lots of work...great outcome.

[@carlotta4th]

There's at least one update picture on the internet since then, and it looks like they got the extension and deck finished!

@@pantherose8778 Thanks for the link..nice to see it finished.

[@suzannepatterson307]

Thank you for the update

[@kcsunnyone]

@@pantherose8778 very nice, thanks for sharing the completed image :)

[@Salena905]

I would've loved to have seen the older lady who used to live there with her family come and visit it now, she'd be amazed by what this couple have done..also shame we couldn't see the extension part for a later episode.

[@jedtangerud4910]

there should be a follow up on this couple and many others as well, cause it's 2021 now and I wanna see if they still enjoy their beautiful home now before covid and all

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

Nick-what a talented woodworker. Amazing!

[@mariansmith7694]

What a great couple. They are WONDERFUL.

[@elwoodblues452]

Unbelievable craftmanship! Very good indeed!

[@joesmith3732]

What a lovely couple such a joy to see the love they have for the house and each other. What a brilliant job they both did it’s gorgeous I love it they should be so proud of the house an themselves we wish them all the best of luck and joy for the future.

[@quinnhendley4031]

i've always admired those who are creative. these two are certainly that...and they compliment each others skills so well. lovely lovely work. just beautiful.

[@deba4537]

I love the gate house and the couple, the quality of work they did and the colors they chose. I would add a lovely little handrail on either side of the approach to the front door and broadening out to either side, like a gesture of welcome, perhaps inspired by something at the 'academic research center' full of house parts. A few guests over for wine on a cold winter night, and a slip while leaving in the dark, could spell real injury.

[@eyesonuyouheard5170]

It's not how small the home is it's the love put in it.

[@PROTEK123]

Watched loads of these ... but for some reason.. this one made me smile..

[@jeangordon1878]

me too....the couple doing the restore were loving to each other and their project and their genuine love of the project was evident throughout.

[@jodabney4358]

Sitting here in my little 43 year old little cottage that my hubby and I renovated....I'm watching you in aw. I'm fascinated by your attention to detail....which is more work and research than in our little piece of heaven. I absolutely adore architecture and especially as old as your homes history. Love the pigs...my hubby had a Hampshire pig when he attended University of Virginia....hubby was a special spirit...so of course a pig named Ace. He would love seeing your work and then the beautiful warm feeling on the final outcome. You both laid hands on every single inch of your beautiful charming cottage. Thank you for saving a piece of history and sharing your experience....filled with craftmanship and love. You are a brilliant couple. Jo from Virginia USA

[@mikeymikeFType]

I’m sure your little cottage is equally as lovely. Greetings from Hampshire England

[@classifiedinformation6353]

Very well put Jo. Your words reflect what many of us feel about this restoration but are not able to express. Thank you. John Bethel, Missouri

[@marykearns4463]

I hope they will have many wonderful years ahead to really enjoy the restoration of their awesome home such dedication and love has gone in to it ,I sat and watch every last detail I found it fascinating that this couple had taken all they had in terms of finance ,time and energy and they loved and took pleasure in bringing back to the original home it once was beautifully restored thank you for sharing your wonderful achievements with all us viewers.

[@salliehall304]

What an amazing couple - just terrific in every way.

[@juliajanssens8432]

It's such a beautiful and picturesque house now with gorgeous colours, and such perfection and care in the finer details. They deserve an award for their excellent efforts. May they live happily ever after!

[@mechanicgirlexpat945]

The amount of love and passion they put was enormous - they are both skillful and lovely couple

[@meenalk3568]

Beautifully and tastefully done with loads of love and passion... Would love to see the extension they would do in the future 👍👍 Lord bless the lovely couple ❤️❤️

[@judithmalan1502]

Absolutely Fabulous: WELL DONE! Nic and Vanessa: Intrepid: above and beyond! Exquisite workmanship all around every detail! STUNNING!

[@antoinkiely7972]

Total work of art. Very inspiring, very beautiful result.

[@jelsner5077]

Those bay windows are spectacular!

[@kathleenclark5877]

What a lovely couple whose passion resulted in an amazing restoration. All of the painstaking details, my favourite being those windows to which they both contributed with love and historic accuracy. And the gentleman who gifted the shutter handles ... what a kind gesture. He clearly appreciated their efforts and commitment to the project. I also enjoyed George’s enthusiasm for the arts and crafts details they fulfilled. So enjoyable to watch the transformation. And to the person who made the gnarly remark about his teeth? Get over yourself. Just narsty.

[@dcoleman4444]

People who restore these properties are truly a gift. I am grateful they care enough to make them beautiful again.

[@Itaila57]

Amazing people!! Their commitment love and skill is admirable - such a wonderful couple with a great zest for living well.

[@kimclarke5018]

Omg 😳 this is spectacular. This couple are absolutely marvelous in doing everything with precision and taking their time. Well done!

[@pamelahomeyer748]

❤❤❤ so wonderful to see this kind of craftsmanship stay alive. Thank you for sharing this video I look forward to seeing the finished product

[@tallpojjy]

Absolutely wonderful, this is the happiest episode I have seen! Thanks for posting it here.

[@saibliss7976]

How lovely is their deep compassion and hard work to restore the gate house into something as beautiful as this. Love it 👌💕💖

[@debrap947]

What an amazing couple. Humble, talented and so determined. What a beautiful restoration.

[@lisapop5219]

Crazy! 8 people lived in a place now considered inadequate for 2! Wow!

[@MrSullismom]

Yeah and those 8 people had lice and bedbugs!

[@colinturner4158]

Absolutely lovely both the restoration and the couple

[@eyafaer]

the carpentry is just beautiful

[@nursemaggie2321]

This video and project is gorgeous. The end got me tearing up! Much love ❤

[@robertahubert7474]

I said I would be in the house by Christmas not that I would be finished.. Lol 😂

[@jordandaniels5608]

Outstanding! My favorite restoration video and story so far. Very inspiring, beautifully documented, and presented with charm. George’s ability to immerse himself in the project, develop a friendship with the owners, and weave together the story is second to none.

[@vanessaaleean7382]

My favourite episode.. it looks like so much like David Bowie's Labyrinth so beautifully restored colourful and cosy nice touch with the door knocker and gargoyle

[@ToriHalfon]

Love this couple! So touching.

[@rogerthat5459]

That stained-glass window shop is heaven

[@robertahubert7474]

Of all the shows I’ve watched on this channel this couple is by far the sweetest.. their passion for that house comes right at you.

[@snowbloodapple]

They're such a sweet couple :)

[@carmenslee6234]

I’ve watched this so many times! It’s just my favourite!

[@colinturner4158]

What a truly lovely couple

[@YouuuMaddddBroooo]

Lovely⛪ Please go back and do a part 2 on this one when the addition is done!

[@michellelindsay5727]

Absolutely stunning to watch especially that the woodwork was completely done by Nick. He is a true carpenter indeed; as well his wife who is quite handy doing glasswork and fabulous painting.

[@katiechristiansen8579]

I love all the people in this episode. The couple is so charming and fun. And that collection of architectural salvage is amazing.

[@mariansmith7694]

I love this wee gate lodge. It is precious.

[@thomasortmann41]

OMG this house is soooo beautiful 👍👍.I love it so much !! It is a fairytail-Pearl ❤👍👍.

This is the best Reno I have seen. These two are awesome

[@suerose7479]

This is just more than special , lovely couple beautiful little cottage I know the area I lived in that area, the house is on clay so not easy. Such a talented couple, wonderful result. I would love to see it with the extension.

[@PhilipSteeves]

A charming little house!

[@tejalmehta1790]

It's truly a fairy tale cottage with a fairy tale story of restoration and a magic genie George taking us through it😀

[@amanDuhPlease2009]

I love this show but this is my favorite BY FAR! So lovely! I'm impressed.

[@lindathompson3982]

This is a restoration that's truly touched a cord; this is utterly charming. The beauty of thought, skill, admirable talent & vision - - just inspiring.

[@cjofloorish]

This is by far my favourite Reno. Love this dear little cottage! An original tiny home living.

[@johnmccormick1061]

Wow beautiful little house 🏠 they both done a fantastic job in its restoration, I’m so glad I stumbled across this & discovering I live not that far away 😃

[@rolandnunyabizness8811]

What an Amazingly Beautiful Couple. The Happiness they glow is Something very couple would hope for.

[@firstlast5068]

I love the love that they have for each other!

[@eccoluisaluisa]

I'm sitting here in front of my laptop screen, in 8 of February 2021... Can't get enough of this adorable tiny gate to the fairytales' realm... Thank you for this experience! I wonder what is the feeling there in 2021... Please, make a new video about this minuscule marvel in 2021!

[@marietjejansen]

Love, creativity and skills, such a wonderful combination!

[@paulhayton3423]

Wow! Best restoration I've seen!

[@alisoncoles1565]

What a lovely kind hearted man that collector is, giving the couple those original door handles, bless him! What a sweet deserving couple they are too!

[@nancyd6770]

I fell in love with this house when you first showed it! Although I know it took a lot of tears, hard work, frustration, but it is adorable !! I loved the idea of trying to do this as close to the original as possible. The windows are outstanding. I also love all the glass work with pictures in it. Thank you for sharing this.

[@inarahey]

This was so heartwarming to watch. The love they put into the house is amazing. And the result is stunning ❤

[@safevoyage]

I love this house and Nick and Vanessa.

[@PAINFOOL13]

Being a Yank and raised in Southampton me mums home. We spent many days going to the countryside. I will always remember the The quaint cottages and Wondrous huge estates we saw . Love this channel 👍🏻

[@katelutterodt2479]

ADDITION TO THIS CUTE HOUSE COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT, IT IS BEAUTIFL

[@mayradell3953]

What a joy to have seen this restoration. One can breath the beauty of craftsmanship that was given in it's birth. Thank you for bringing this adventure to us. Many hugs to all of you; you are beautiful!!!

[@br6480]

They did such a beautiful job restoring this cottage. What I don’t understand is why England makes it so difficult for people to restore these old homes. It’s almost like they would rather see them rot away instead of being brought back to their former glory.

[@elliest55]

With the exception of Grand Designs, which can be a bit hit and miss sometimes (mostly hit, though sometimes miss) the shows with George Clarke are BY FAR the best house-related shows in the UK. The lack of architectural and interior design flair in the myriad of house-related UK TV shows is pretty remarkable, so George's shows are an oasis.

[@gailhowes9398]

It looks like night that has turned into day, you should be so proud of your selves! The average person would have had hired out but you really know this home inside and out! An amazing job!

[@130crowd]

Matches made in heaven. Thanks to programs like this, irreplaceable buildings, gardens, landscapes, trees may rise in our attention so we all can endorse, endow and enable their restoration and preservation.

[@elizabeths4371]

And so the two of them lived together HAPPILY EVER AFTER.... ❤️

[@nancymiller7294]

Lovely to watch the support and love this couple give to each other. This will be a beautiful home.

[@redhorse8937]

Charming, charming, charming! Did I say charming? I enjoy all these episodes, but this one is special. The cottage the couple, their attitude, and love for the project makes me wish I could meet them. And gotta love the pigs and chickens! All very special.

[@suzib777]

I am a fan from California. What a BEAUTIFUL job they have done. May the extension be as lovely as the lodge.

[@kristib9432]

Where has this series been my entire life? How am I just discovering this???!!!…It’s like House Hunters Renovations and Fake or Fortune had a baby…

[@courtneyhall7140]

absolutely outstanding,a real fairytale brought to life.what strong will power,and talent.

[@zitazita687]

Tut Tut Nick,you never told the couple the original knobs were a pressie from the antique dealer &not from yourself.Naughty Nick.!

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

Fantastic home bless the couple may they live long to enjoy every day great craftmans ship both work as a team its lovely.

[@trishdelacour8746]

Just wow, one of the most beautiful and beautifully restored little houses I have ever seen and to do all that when you are not a spring chicken, what an incredible couple.

[@denisefalusi8070]

This couple also own the now local, for earths sake shop, also lovingly built by the couple. Truly inspirational ❤

[@Black_Cat.666...01]

Que lindo 💕 Parabéns. Fã brasileira 🇧🇷♥️

[@jeanross7430]

They achieved a lot and it was very pretty, and the work they did was amazing, but no bathroom, I could not live there. I hope that it was completed.

[@torrirose6582]

I agree. They should have kept the bathroom where they had originally planned it and made the storage room off of it the utility room with washer and dryer.

[@LS-xh9nz]

It’s been said over and over how glorious this restoration is and how lovely Nick and Vanessa are. I’ll add my voice and the wonder and respect they’re due. Well done, mates!

[@RayMrRobert]

Brilliant restoration
