i made a viewer app for this so its possible to walk around the interior and exterior, change wall/furniture colors, change time of day/weather, turn lights ob/off etc and its all near photo realistic using Unreal Engine 5
Okay so I've had an idea for the gatehouse.. one word - deck. Imagine once the pond is revitalised down the hill you could have a deck that comes out of the side door and extends slightly over the edge with supports. This way you could have an area attached to the house to spend time outdoors and anjoy the view and pond without having to put in the massive modern windows. Perhaps you have a big glass door onto it so that you still get the light coming in and you can see the nature on a rainy indoor day! A bit of outdoor furniture, a little pizza oven and some festoon lighting and you've got yourself a nice way to tie the house into the outdoors.. it would also look bloody awesome! Just a thought!
I like the changes to the designs, but I’d really consider having divided windows (the ones with lots of individual panes) I think that will allow you to keep the big windows and some of the old-school style! And the boot room is a must living on a farm, but I'd definitely go for a version that has an overhead cupboard, hooks for coats, and a bench with boot storage below. Maybe a wooden or a combination wood/glass railing for the loft too.
loved how the mark of life cuts in with breaking news and those fellas got it done right,plenty of winter fuel once its dried out proper. smart designs for gatehouse.
You know what I wanna say, first and foremost, well done to 'the editor' for the brilliant work. I hadn't noticed the difference in Toms vlogs and as an Editor to copy someone else's style, well done! Secondly, the new design for the Gatehouse looks so much better, sticking to the more original style of the building and having it more rural!
Maybe consider installing a Murphy bed/cabinet up in the gatehouse loft area instead of a standard bed. It could be folded up when not in use and create more space for an additional seating area or other activities..
Seeing mark and Alfie playing together as uncle and nephew is so wholesome. ❤❤❤ best content ever! Like how the guest house is coming along. Rewatching old vlogs from 7 years ago. Got to see the young Tom before Alfie was here. How time flies.
Nah i said it 1st time, that glass railing upstairs in the bedroom isn't what this house needs if you're going for the rustic vibes. A simple wooden railings made from wood from your land itself, would be the best thing ever. You can still get to see in the living room, decorate it easily during festive times and so on. Even the massive logs you've cleared from the land could still be used as the awnings support. Keeping the smaller buildings on the land and their vibes of that old time and then making the main house as modern as you want, would be a great contemporary project.
I was told by a farmer if you want a real tree to last use hot water for the first water so it keeps the sap soft and that way allowing the tree to drink more where as putting cold water in and the sap stiffening up straight away. I tried it and it worked for me Tom, hope this helps
The gate house , should keep the breakfast bar from the first design put it into the 2nd one , take the dining table out so you can put in a table that folds down and the folded chairs are inside the table then it could just go against the wall and still have more room to move about in , or could put up a false wall so you can see the kitchen plus you can make use of the wall for the table or a sofa bed .. Uncle mark is the best Alfie just loves him so much ...can't believe Alfie put all the garlic bread in his little mouth wow
Hey Tom! Completely agree with trying not to make the build too modern because it needs to feel authentic one massive red flag for me coming from the world of large loss insurance claims, a thatched roof for a self proclaimed pyro-maniac... Or just lover of fire... Is a recipe for disaster! From a logistical side of things also, having already had one property on site burn down, insurance companies may charge you through the nose if you've got a thatched roof because of the previous issues and higher risk! Might be worth considering 👍
I love the oldskool look … I think with a twist of being whimsical would be magical Lydia being a past teacher I think she would make a great forest school teacher on the land ❤
Could you have a patio/decking near the nature area? Then the large window could be a glass door which I think would suit the house better, and would make the most of the sunsets in summer.
Tom I would recommend put four or five wooden beams going from the top bed section across to the wall opposite to give that old rustic cabin, stone house vibe. Obviously with gaps between each beam so the light from the sky light(s) can reach the living room but it really makes it homely I have this in my living room on the ceiling so I’m an open plan it would really look the part in that house.
It's only Tuesday and we have been treated to 2 vlogs of the Legend that is Alfie being absolutely cute and adorable with Daddy, Mummy and Uncle Mark ❤❤❤❤ cuteness overload. The 110 Gate House concepts are looking good too
As weird as this might sound, I absolutely adored the chaos in todays vlog, purely for the fact I imagine this is how you view life, so it’s like we’re seeing the life of Tom, how you see it 😊
I think you should consider adding a wooden deck around the back and side of the gate house so you can sit out side have a cuppa and look at the pond/nature bit that you guys are going to clean up
Skylights would be amazing in the 110 gate house! My grandparents have some on their lake house and it’s such a nice touch! Also to help with space in a smaller house, I would recommend getting barn style doors. It’s a big thing over here in America!
My idea for the gatehouse is some thing to memorialize the tree falling through it! Some natural wood some how. Happy holidays! I can't wait to see when you get a tree, gotta put ours up soon as well 😅 I also want to make the 110 acre farm little trail signs some day like "Big Chillin Lane" and "Alfie Way" and a spa for you and Lydia would be so amazing, by the water!! A good spa day fixes anything! 😂
Been a rough few days. Then at the end of it when every has settled. I get 3 Tom vlogs to catch up on while I sort my flat out. Always brightens my day to see the adventures and the family time! It's lovely to see how Alfie reacts to everyone!
💯loved the vlog as normal the gate house having mixed in the 2 plans will will gorgeous and love how you and mark play with Alfie definitely puts a smile on our faces xxthankyou tom for the amazing vlogs ❤🫶🫶🫶🫶
My two pennies For the gate house: Utilise the old slates you found for the roof I like the terrace for the front door in the first render Making a large stone fireplace in the middle of that big plain wall at the end, it will bring the cottage feel into the house I think have a lot of natural wood furniture inside (warm browns) will make it look less modern but still sorted for modern living Rather than having a dining table, have a breakfast bar to save space I think (then there will be an inside area to play for the kids) Would be cool to have winding steps up to the bedroom
Tom - if you want a tree to last you could look at getting a tree that is still potted and rooted. You can then pop it outside for the rest of the year and bring it inside next Christmas. Eventually, it will get too big to be inside, but then it could be moved onto the 110 and planted in the ground to give you another tree (like in your garden) that you can put lights on.
I love the ideas for the gate house, but I genuinely think having a secondary thing built off of it (if that’s allowed) would be beautiful. An old stone building with a modern extension, that’s like.. 180 degrees glass, a fireplace in the center of it and just some place beautiful for guests to stay.
You can get stands for real xmas trees (shocker i know) that have a water reservoir bit, which can help the longevity... you should then plant it on the land as Alfie's 1st xmas tree...
Hi! Great Vlog! I really like the second design from a keeping it old style but I really do think that because of the cost for a thatched roof and all of the maintenance and the cost for the maintenance is not worth it in the long run and it will look much nicer and drain better with a slate or tiled roof! Not saying this is the route you have to take just a suggestion and a comment. Also if we do make a floor plan or design, then where should we post it or send it to? Love the vlogs Tom Keep up the good work! ☺️👍🔥
My sister asked me what i wanted for christmas... instantly sent her a link to Syndicate Original for a hoodie!! 🤞🤞it would be my first ever item from Syndicate Original im soooooo excited
Tom!! Alfie is super cute and melts my heart every time! But the gatehouse please please please keep the fireplace wall from the original design, it gave the house a focal point when you walk in and made more of a statement as to the character of the building (just my opinion) but love your vlogs and can’t wait to see what you decide!
15:29 You can get a tree stand that allows you to water the tree. My family gets their tree December 1st and we some how keep it alive well into January. Water makes a big difference
I personally prefer option 1 more but I'm a person who loves the modern style. The merging of the two designs is a wonderful idea. The skylights yes but I'd keep the big window out back to look down to the pond.
I could honestly probably watch an hour long video of just you and mark playing with alfie. I had a rough day at work and that segment just brightened my mood so much. Much love from Michigan.
Hi Tom, Lydia, and Alfie! I have been told that if you use cold water, when you water your tree. It hardens the sap making it harder to absorb the water causing it to die faster..So use hot water from your hot water tap to see if it lives longer...🤔
Alfie! His smile makes my day 😀. The gate house will be beautiful! If you chose a design with a vestibule (great idea), you will need a place to hang coats as well - so a place for muddy boots, a shelf for hats & gloves, either hooks or a rod to hang coats. I agree with you on a mix of 1 & 2 😀 Andy, get better! & what a great ornament for Alfie 🥹 and Mark with Alfie is the cutest 😀👍
Love the changes to the design. Love the bootroom addition but u could add French doors that could lead to a nice decking sitting area so u are able to enjoy the nature reserve area your on about making plus in summer be a nice way to let the fresh air snd light plus a nice resting place for guests
One thing I’ve noticed is that if people want the rustic look for the roof, you could do the clay/concrete tiles. I’ve noticed it a lot in like Italy in the older buildings. Definitely a Option!
The investment is (a guess) properties, either Manchester, or close by, a bit like the flat your friend moved into... orrrr alcohol..and they obvs thought of you 😆
Option 2: the top window, of the double-stacked side windows, doesn't benefit (except for light) anyone looking out. Perhaps an upper window for the loft to look out. Agree w/you keeping the skylights! Takes pressure off windows for light, to focus on view only. Like your ides of the stove pipe going up the entire interior wall, which will help with inside heat. Baby food containment system.
I am so pleased to see you guys teaching Alfie how to use the stairs - so many people just gate them off without teaching the stairs - which causes issues if the gate gets left open by accident 😊 x
idea : would you think of moving the fire back to the middle of the wall and on the right in the corner do a large bay doors . so you can open the space in the summer? love the ideas . plus margaret’s gift ❤
Great crazy vlog. It wouldn't be a tom vlog without the craziness even if the clips are randomly put lol I've always said no.matter how long or what it is I always watch. Great design and that moment with the stairs and alfie top notch
We use a tree stand that you can fill with water it keeps it alive a little longer than just setting it out without water it kinda works like a vase of flowers
Hi Tom, for the gatehouse inspo you should take a look at the 'South Lakeland' Grand Designs episode/house. They started with a similar kind of ruin, and wanted to keep as much of the original stone as possible then added wooden cladding. Something similar would look really cool, especially when its surrounded by trees and nature 👍
Love the new design. Not exactly house design related but it would be cool if you can get someone to use wood from trees on the land to make the furniture for the gate house. The wood does need time to dry so if that's something you're interested in sooner rather than later is best
Dont forget to add storage! this is a guest-house so you will want to have clean clothes, bed linens, hot/cold sheets and al that stuff stored somewhere. I also agree on the idea of a deck, maybe multi-level going a few meters down towards the pond. And with a custom waterfall going down to the pond.
I actually like the modern twist, love the idea of keeping it looking as close to how it was on the side against the road but on the other side as modern as you like.
What a great vlog it really was the life of Tom so random. Lydia was really worried about you and relieved that you was safe.😊The all the Alfie shots were absolutely heart melting with the chuckles and belly laughs,and playing with Mark was so funny he is definitely an uncle Mark boy,chasing round the kitchen so funny. Thank you.xx
It being a somewhat small house, I'd consider making some sort of raised flooring in the living area, gives some changeup in the layout and makes it feel more "separated" while still being all connected. Also perhaps you could use the space underneath for storage, like pullout drawers :)
I know Tom said it long before Alfie started walking, but I don’t think I realized how silly his happy little tippy tappys would be 🥹 him and Mark chasing each other in the kitchen was too cute!!
The gatehouse on the OneTen should be Marks house. I mean he is 1. your brother and 2. head of security. Would be the perfect spot for him. OMG Alfie, he is growing so fast and is so damn adorable. I love watching him grow and all his antics. Love watching him with his Uncle Mark, that is fun times. You guys rock!
17:51 you do work hard Tom, you’ve got vlogs, family, land & more to look after, you may not think you work hard but you do, especially for us to try get the vlogs on time everyday, and vlogging throughout your weekend, when you could be chilling with family
10:01 I have liked all the designs on the gate house. My only feedback is the second story “railing” being glass seems too modern I think a wire railing would maybe make it more open. 28:12 that section from yesterday was absolute gold!!! ❤
Go follow Brad & give him ideas / feedback! instagram.com/clarkesbespokedesign 🏡
Can you put the measurements for the house layout details tom ❤
Hey Tom! What’re the measurements?
i made a viewer app for this so its possible to walk around the interior and exterior, change wall/furniture colors, change time of day/weather, turn lights ob/off etc and its all near photo realistic using Unreal Engine 5
@lifeoftom turn the gatehouse into a school where Lydia can home school Alfie, Arlo, Very and future baby Tom's?
What about slate roof instead of thatch roof
Mark with the special report was golden please do more! 💯😂😂

Bro I literally just did a post about a decking but built on an extension so it's higher up and a really sweet spot to chill out in the sun
@CAL_IN_THESE_COMMENTS haha I'm glad I'm not the only one who can see the vision! Literally the perfect spot for it!
@@tidescapefilms
Imagine some rustic black spiral steps up to it bruhh
@@CAL_IN_THESE_COMMENTS ooo ya cheeky basterd!
I like the changes to the designs, but I’d really consider having divided windows (the ones with lots of individual panes) I think that will allow you to keep the big windows and some of the old-school style!
And the boot room is a must living on a farm, but I'd definitely go for a version that has an overhead cupboard, hooks for coats, and a bench with boot storage below. Maybe a wooden or a combination wood/glass railing for the loft too.
Also space for a hoover etc. especially when dragging in mud from the farm.
Mark and Alfie content is seriously peak perfection. The full belly laughs lil weed gives with his Uncle Mark just warms my heart soooo much!!!
so glad this Alfie section was posted, goddammit, what a cutie
loved how the mark of life cuts in with breaking news and those fellas got it done right,plenty of winter fuel once its dried out proper. smart designs for gatehouse.

I was going to suggest the same thing
Smart 👍👌
@@RacingHamster74 like Tom I was tired of the tree dying and this helped me out no end 😊
I used to go this with my Granddad on his farm! Always used warm water for saplings and shrubs
omg alfie and mark sooo cute deffo the best uncle alfie loves him sooo much bless never change mark :p
As a fellow uncle, I will say the times we get to send with our little nieces/ nephews are sacred! Uncle mark will treasure these moments forever ❤
Alfie laughing with Uncle Mark is EVERYTHING! ❤️🤗❤️
The gate house , should keep the breakfast bar from the first design put it into the 2nd one , take the dining table out so you can put in a table that folds down and the folded chairs are inside the table then it could just go against the wall and still have more room to move about in , or could put up a false wall so you can see the kitchen plus you can make use of the wall for the table or a sofa bed ..
Uncle mark is the best Alfie just loves him so much ...can't believe Alfie put all the garlic bread in his little mouth wow
Mark is literally the best brother! The most priceless relationship! ❤
If there’s one thing I adore more then Alfie himself is Alfie & his uncle Mark’s relationship. It’s amazing.💗
Mark and alfie are like edna mode and jack jack from the incredibles.
I need a short film of a days antics with them. 😂😂

Lydia being a past teacher
I think she would make a great forest school teacher on the land ❤
Evening all have a great week ahead 😊
Could you have a patio/decking near the nature area? Then the large window could be a glass door which I think would suit the house better, and would make the most of the sunsets in summer.
If you put a dormer window on either side of the ridge. You would wake up on the upper floor looking towards the best view's on your land.
Tom I would recommend put four or five wooden beams going from the top bed section across to the wall opposite to give that old rustic cabin, stone house vibe. Obviously with gaps between each beam so the light from the sky light(s) can reach the living room but it really makes it homely I have this in my living room on the ceiling so I’m an open plan it would really look the part in that house.

100% secret meeting is about a content house or a business Op.
Absolutely love these sketches.
Great vid Tom! Love seeing the Alfie and Lydia content as well as all the progress. Merry Christmas to all your family during the festive season.
New stone house designs looking good, I’d suggest a nice wooden door will be hobbity and wood furniture for homeliness
Hi Tom you just got my day 10 times better today and you do it ever day
As weird as this might sound, I absolutely adored the chaos in todays vlog, purely for the fact I imagine this is how you view life, so it’s like we’re seeing the life of Tom, how you see it 😊
Mark is an amazing uncle and always makes the vlogs that much better
Brilliant start Alfie’s smile ❤
So glad we’ve seen this Mark and Alfie playing is the best ❤
Mark and Alfie content is always soooo cute.
I think you should consider adding a wooden deck around the back and side of the gate house so you can sit out side have a cuppa and look at the pond/nature bit that you guys are going to clean up
Skylights would be amazing in the 110 gate house! My grandparents have some on their lake house and it’s such a nice touch!

Well done to the new editor keep it going
My two pennies For the gate house:
Utilise the old slates you found for the roof
I like the terrace for the front door in the first render
Making a large stone fireplace in the middle of that big plain wall at the end, it will bring the cottage feel into the house
I think have a lot of natural wood furniture inside (warm browns) will make it look less modern but still sorted for modern living
Rather than having a dining table, have a breakfast bar to save space I think (then there will be an inside area to play for the kids)
Would be cool to have winding steps up to the bedroom
The bond Alfie has with uncle mark is such goals ❤ yesterday...😅
Nothing better than some life of Tom when home sick!
I love that layout inside! That landing inside the front door is super functional and helps with the open look of the main area
That concept is sick. Get some nice plants and hanging baskets and flowers etc growing arounr the outside of the house and it'll look majestic af
Tom - if you want a tree to last you could look at getting a tree that is still potted and rooted. You can then pop it outside for the rest of the year and bring it inside next Christmas.

Love the vlogs and seeing the process on the BIG 110. Been watching you for as long as i could remember. You inspire many out there!

Tom, this was one of your better vlogs. Like your shirt that you own ( and me as well ) says. Never let them know your next move.
Think the long glass features are a nice touch, allows alfie and any toddlers on site to see the view too
Love the random vlogs and adore the Alfie content ❤
I love your vlogs so much i watch them everyday no matter how long or short they are keep being you your amazing
Oh Alfie you are so adorable ❤
Love the changes to the design. Love the bootroom addition but u could add French doors that could lead to a nice decking sitting area so u are able to enjoy the nature reserve area your on about making plus in summer be a nice way to let the fresh air snd light plus a nice resting place for guests
One thing I’ve noticed is that if people want the rustic look for the roof, you could do the clay/concrete tiles. I’ve noticed it a lot in like Italy in the older buildings. Definitely a Option!

He said he doesn't have experience in it. He has inventment properties and we all know he has expirence with alcohol 😂
Hearing Lydia stop Tom and reiterate that he works hard was the most precious thing.

It being a somewhat small house, I'd consider making some sort of raised flooring in the living area, gives some changeup in the layout and makes it feel more "separated" while still being all connected. Also perhaps you could use the space underneath for storage, like pullout drawers :)
I know Tom said it long before Alfie started walking, but I don’t think I realized how silly his happy little tippy tappys would be 🥹 him and Mark chasing each other in the kitchen was too cute!!
The gatehouse on the OneTen should be Marks house. I mean he is 1. your brother and 2. head of security. Would be the perfect spot for him. OMG Alfie, he is growing so fast and is so damn adorable. I love watching him grow and all his antics. Love watching him with his Uncle Mark, that is fun times. You guys rock!
You could add one of those skylight balconys that fold out into a mini balcony to open for fresh air and a view!
17:51 you do work hard Tom, you’ve got vlogs, family, land & more to look after, you may not think you work hard but you do, especially for us to try get the vlogs on time everyday, and vlogging throughout your weekend, when you could be chilling with family
10:01 I have liked all the designs on the gate house. My only feedback is the second story “railing” being glass seems too modern I think a wire railing would maybe make it more open. 28:12 that section from yesterday was absolute gold!!! ❤
