If noticed that you're looking at colours in some of the most expensive paints such as Farrow & Ball. In case you didn't know, you can get almost an identical match mixed up in cheaper brands at Dulux, Brewers & Crown Decorating centres

Curious, Emma, what is your education degree in?

I absolutely love the deep door entry paneling for each room. Gorgeous

Who is the gentlemen helping you with bathroom ceiling?

Is the Rectory under U.K. historical control? Do they dictate what you can do and how to do it?

Serving dinner to a group with kitchen so far away, food would not be hot by time you were to sit down and eat. Unless, of course you have it served. Mine if I ask how you can afford this large project?

Painting in original colours is a great idea if it works for the disign your after However I think colour drenching in the dark colour would be the three D, s Dark dismal and dreary But it's your house and it your choice❤

I wish you’d get rid of the doorway onto the flat roof, it’s not as though it overlooks anything worth looking at. We have a triangular chimney wall in the bathroom of our old vicarage but ours hasn’t been disconnected from the flue.

Just the woodwork in the Brown. The attic stairbannister and other woodwork would look nice in it too. Warm hugs from Katharina

So glad to here you are getting sash windows, we have them in our Victorian flat, absolutely love them ❤ looking forward to seeing them in 🙂🇬🇧

How lovely to see it in it's previous days! It's inspiring... Boy, do you have a lot if large projects... Plumbing, electrical And Windows! Best of times in those tasks! But you're making progress!

What an enormous undertaking, and you two are doing a marvelous job without going bonkers. Kudos!

Will make the area too dark doing walls and wood in the dark paint, in my opinion. No expert!

Don’t fire the camera woman!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Keep the servant's staircase!!

Old photos are great

Charley, I have heard other you tubers having a video taken down because of copyrighted music playing innocently in the background. I don’t want your hard work filming being taken down. Could you wear ear buds instead?

As you are planning your entrance to the deep cellar my inner voice is screaming no😮

just a thought, you never know how things change I would keep the annex completely separate for water, power and heating. If ever you wanted to rent out that space, also better if you needed to sell.

How wonderful to see photos of when it was used as a rectory !! What a great history record to have and inspire you. I am enjoying and appreciating following your house renovation journey. Thank you and kind wishes from New Zealand.

Another hit ! I love watching you turning this into your new home. I’m amazed by you and your wife and your hard work and dedication… Love watching your videos ❤

I love watching every minute with you two ! A new transformation and surprises. The back stairs where you removed the wall, so open now and what a find. I love the color, but on the walls too, may make it too dark. The photos are gorgeous and such a look back to how it really was … Looking forward to next time ! You both bring such joy and a smile ❤

Such atmospheric old photos! Lovely to see. Definitely reddish brown on the woodwork, but on the walls might be too dark. Great progress made, you'll be able to move in soon, and use all funds towards the renovation.

Gosh! Your plumbing quotes are so vastly different between them from £28,000, then £75,000, to £120,000 which is 148,828.56 US Dollars. How on earth does one even begin to decide which quote will actually deliver the desired result? Do higher quotes always engender some kind of inner trust that the high quoters know what they are all about in the trade? What a choice and a dilemma, unless you had some additional third party references that saw the lower quoters not up to the job? Clearly 'leaps and bounds' are the order of each day with the adventurous renovation to your home. The stairs to my way should, where possible, be an 'open string' aspect rather that that 'closed string' that blocks off and hides the stair treads. And, to end your video what a gorgeous treat for you to have located the history of your house with those amazing archival photos that you could scan, with permission of the lender, and have prints arranged into a framed and hung display? In that way the 'ghosts' of your home are tangible friends who, like you as we all are in our old houses, custodians passing by.

I thnk that unless you have masses of light coming in, the dark brown/red over everything in the hallway will be very dark. Highlighting the wood with a contrasting or lighter tone on the walls would be better. Just my thoughts, if they are of any use.

Wow. You guys are doing such a fantastic job. I love checking in to see how you are holding up as renovating an historic building can be exhausting and to see the latest discoveries. This episode did not disappoint. BTW, painting the stair case in the Reddish Brown would be great but the rest of the hallway needs to be lighter so it feels open and airy. I bet you can find a nice soft yellow or maybe a sage color that would complement the staircase. I'm sure you'll find the right color that you love. Keep going!!

Just the woodwork, it would be way to dark for the area if it was all the same colour. Wonderful video as always.

First job, clean chimneys get the fires going. Being old state owned put the fires back in. Free wood/coal. Oil or gas heating will be too expensive, unless its a rental & also assume its 3 new build 3 story blocks so when gas/oil heating fails in one part you have 2 other parts to live plus immersions & seperate tanks for hot water. Old style works ..

Oh wow, things are coming along. Seeing those photos was interesting and how good to be able to talk to someone who once lived there. I like the servants staircase minus the partitioning wall. Looks so much nicer. The red/brown stairs and side would look nice, even for the attic stairs but I think that that should be all that should be painted a red/brown colour. If there is too much of it I feel it would take the wow factor away from it. But that's just me. Go with your gut feeling, I'm sure you will have the house looking very elegant. I can't wait.

Wow!!! Seeing those old pictures of the rectory was amazing!! I love seeing all your progress.

Charlie if u look at Escape to the Chateau they had this big shute that they took the renovation scraps to a skip you need one of those

I absolutely love the work you have already done in the rectory. Things are really progressing nicely and it's very exciting. I'm looking forward to see how the plumbing and electric is done. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Pleased use that dark red brown as an accent only. If you do the walls too, it will be so dark you will need a flashlight (torch) to find your way thru the halls. It will be like finding your way thru a lightless cave.

It would be lovely if you asked your viewers for just one episode to say where they are watching from.

As the stairs were built over its framing, and soneone signed them in 1901, I’m not surprised the door is older than you thought. It might not be original, but it was put in well before the flats.

I love the color of red mahogany paneling. I say go for it!

great project great episode great to be able to follow you on this wonderful project 😁 the rectory is going to be amazing when you are finished! best of luck and i know all your effort will be so worth it 😍

Please ! Do not colour drench its such a modern concept I feel it will take away from the charm and age of the building

How amazing to see those old photos of what it used to be like inside, very interesting. In answer to your question I feel like covering the walls in the hall with the paint would make it too dark and enclosed.

Great to see you have been so busy and have exposed the servant's staircase, also the panelling which is actually back in vogue again so you could panel the dining room ect. Fantastic work from both of you plus lots of ordering of the windows , plumbers, electrician electricians. 🎉.

Thought you'd be going with a heat pump rather than oil.

Really good episode. I’m still flabbergasted by how circuitous the route that the pipes have to take to get hot water into the main house! I wonder whether there could have been a way of positioning the boilers closer, and the piping being more direct, when the heating system was installed by the previous owners. The water must lose a fair bit of heat having to travel the distance it does.

The woodwork repainted in the new oxblood colour will be nice - I can see painting the baseboards, doorframes etc in it also. But a very pale wall paint or light wallpaper to set it off. Oxblood on the walls too would make the area feel like you're being swallowed by something. It's still quite a narrow passage so I'd think waiting to do all that until after all the big furniture and so on has gone through and finished gouging the walls.....

I love your channel. You’re doing a great job!

The red x on the wall. Wasn't that for asbestos?

Why is it a guest bedroom with en-suite, instead of making that the master bedroom? You’d get the outdoor area too, if it’s actually strong enough to sit out vs. Just as a fire escape.

3:14 I live in a 1907 house, well a flat, that appears to have two sets of windows built with a wall dividing them. On the outside they line up nicely, on the inside, they are up against the wall and the moulding top and bottom just ends, with no moulding on the wall side. A corner room that was just a scullery off the kitchen has a window in one corner ‘joined’ to the bathroom window on the other side, and a window diagonally across from it which is joined up to a pair of windows in the kitchen itself. We know the layout hasn’t been changed, and all 8 flats are set up this way, the scullery and kitchen spaces have been reconfigured by removing internal walls, in most, but the windows aren’t changed. There’s also a bathroom door so close to a wall that where it should have moulding on that side, it’s just a flat piece of inch wide wood that fits up to the plaster. I don’t know why they didn’t place the door another inch and a half the other way so it could have a normal bit of mouldin, there’s room for it. As for the two bathroom doors, it wasn’t added with the flats as the stairs were built right over the door framing. The door is more modern than the opening for it. I think the room was divided long ago, perhaps by the military during the war, or perhaps when plumbing was added. Even if it wasn’t always two bathrooms, perhaps one side was a reduced ‘whatever it was before’ room, or it was just used as a storeroom, with that half a window for some light and ventilation.
