It is all about the design philosophy. Classical design uses concepts of design that go back to era of the Romans. The Brent hull channel on RUclips goes into the details about such design concepts. That can be implemented into modern design.
Used to live literally next door (Boldre Grange was part of our address) and visited often as a child. I learnt to ride a bike in the tennis court you see at 11:20, which is part of the property we lived at. I showed my mum this video and she asked “are the apple trees still there?”, she has fond memories of picking apples from the orchard. Wonderful video, I can definitely appreciate all the architectural detail and nuances now that I’m older. When I was younger, though, I definitely thought it was haunted 😂
The drawing room, essentially the lady's "withdrawing room," was usually the main public room of a Victorian home. These rooms were feminine, comfortable and hospitable. Places for receiving guests, they were platforms to show off one's wealth, culture and taste.
Yay, coloured walls! Lovely to see the non-white interiors. It would be great to see how these places look later in the day, when evening light changes the internal effects.
Gosh I really love this one, can you imagine being a child growing up in a house like this? My siblings and I would have had a blast exploring and playing hide and seek. What a magical family home to create amazing memories.
For me I preferred the grounds more than the house. I think it would be good to live in with an extended family, because you could still easley split the property, but if it was just one family you would need to re sort out the rooms. You wouldn't need three kitchens and so many bedrooms. Making them into different uses. I think you would have to spend a fair amount to get it flowing better and still not looking like three different properties.
I would like to say something about the presentation. I have seen dozens of British grand houses on YT and your presentation has been one of the finest I have ever seen. There is a spontaneity and friendliness about you that makes the whole experience very pleasant and entertaining. I appreciate it when people make an effort to speak clearly and eloquently as you do. PS: I shall start playing Lotto again, that would be my only chance to buy such a beautiful property. 😆😆😆
I agree, he seems genuinely interested in the property and it's history. Much more easygoing and authentic compared to other agents. Usually I tune out when people try to sell me a property and make up my own mind about it, but his commentary really livened the experience.
This was an exceptional property and the story of how young fled and stayed here during the war just shows how much unity there was in times and gave great energy to the surroundings and I must say that the upstairs felt like an Escher painting. Absolutely remarkable.
Hi The vault label is 117 not 17 - The John Tann Company - 117 Newgate Street, circa 1900s. Rising to prominence in the 1800s - and best known for their 'Reliance' safe - the Tanns were the most famous of all Victorian safe-building families. The Chancery Lane Safe Deposit Company and Bank of England used John Tann products. It’s in Ye Olde London near Covent Garden & The British Museum Can you add a photo?
Great showing. I really like the provenance of this home - the kitchen space, the great style living room, those windows ,the well-made wooden stairs, and last but not least the relaxing green space.🎉 The style is grandiose, like empire state of mind
Perfect for the billionaire with a large, multi-generational family. Needs a full-time cleaning staff and a full-time gardening staff. The new homeowner could provide lots of jobs for locals, including the local building trades to keep up with all the maintenance on this house.
Hey, small paned glass was a thing of the Tudor/Elizabethan Era, which the home is a copy of, NOT Victorian era, by then glass was HUGE...just look at the older homes in London, New York, Boston, Paris, Manchester, Berlin, Rome, Marseille, Madrid, Stockholm....
I did enjoy this video, the fireplaces and staircase was beautiful. Plus you can see both Matt and Tom's boyish trait for adventure coming out while exploring the house, brilliant.
There's a series on TV at the moment, about agents selling luxury homes; it's an absolute joke how useless they are compared to you Matt, it worked really well with inputs from Tom behind the camera. Incredible house, I do wonder what the chances of it being kept unmolested are though
Watching that. The developer selling the 85 million house totally destroys period properties with tacky superyacht interiors. You would need a permanent maintenance man to keep all that high tech rubbish going!
This is so beautiful, no stupid lifts in the house. Well cared for and still looks like it should. Just needs a bit of decorating. Think the kitchen area needs to be bigger.
So beautiful. Would be a dream to own... I just wonder how much is the 'upkeep' of the home... surely there must be groundskeepers and the indoor housekeeping as well... must be quite a pretty penny...
The fact it was a simple children's home a few decades ago says it all. New Forest has become very overpriced. I struggle to find anything to do around here, apart from sailing/horses. Have to go to Bournemouth and even that is an empty shell now!
The room you called the Library was absolutely not originally used for that purpose…think it was the butlers or housekeepers office: the Library was one of the ground floor main rooms. Interesting to see how the house looks now; it has been changed around a lot. But the views outside are wonderful :-)
La casa esta muy bien , pero demasido cara teniendo en cuenta que necesita algunas reformas , respetanto ornamentos originales de la casa , quedaría increíble😍
Let's hope the house has better luck selling this time around....recently spent a long time on the market before being removed.....The market will dictate if it thinks the new price is fair.
Very interesting home and very nice. It is interesting to see the differences in house designs of the Victorian era and the house designs of today. Give me a traditional styled home but with modern amenities.
Love it and the countryside and coastal village. I would have matt and tom as my butlers for eye candy. So much better value than rotten places in london without space and peace and quiet and flora like this to grow and enjoy.
It's almost too much house. The presentation is very well done and gives an excellent idea of how everything is laid out. You could rent out an entire section of the house and live undisturbed in the other portion.
At 22 minutes in am i hearing a very very faint The Seed and the Sower or maybe the title track itself Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence playing in the background ? Im 90% sure i am. 😊
@@jonathanchappell1254Sometimes they do if their liquid assets such as cash would be better placed in investments and the return on those investments pays the mortgage.
7:50 I wonder why they put the TV there when they could have just put it in the middle of that wall where everyone seated will have a clear view of the TV
This is what's known as an "Arts and Crafts" style house, William Morris being the most famous practitioner. it is actually a precursor to Art Nouveau and eventually modernism, it's neither Tudor or Victorian and Richard Norman Shaw might slap you in the face for labeling it as such, lol. Arts and Crafts was a reaction against the high ornamentation and falseness of Victorian era art and architecture, and although it may not appear the same to us today, was meant to be simple, honest and above all modern, fit for suburban, rather than rural life.
It was the ladies who retired to the drawing room after dinner While the gentleman stayed in the dinning. room drinking port and smoking cigars to discuss issues that one would not discuss in the presence of ladies They joined the ladies in the drawing room later
I would love to live in a house like this with so much character. It's unlike most luxury homes which tend to be too pristine and bland

Thank you for sharing
Peter Goodfellow?
It's the ladies that withdraw to the Drawing Room, not the men. The men stay behind with cigars, drinks and tall stories.
You are correct.
Where’d you get that bit of information…Downton Abbey?
The drawing room, essentially the lady's "withdrawing room," was usually the main public room of a Victorian home. These rooms were feminine, comfortable and hospitable. Places for receiving guests, they were platforms to show off one's wealth, culture and taste.
@@paulbright5081 Not really. My knowledge is from my family, upbringing and culture.

I suppose its because it was split into three and so three kitchens and lots of bedrooms 3 or 4 for each house

It’s great to see the property put back as one! fantastic mansion beautiful,
🙏👍
Thanks!
Really impressed with your recent videos - your presentation skills have improved dramatically over the last few vids. Good job Matt!
Thanks Mark, much appreciated 🙏🏼
I was lost from minute 5 😂......so many rooms. The history of this mansion is unbelieveable
Great showing. I really like the provenance of this home - the kitchen space, the great style living room, those windows ,the well-made wooden stairs, and last but not least the relaxing green space.🎉 The style is grandiose, like empire state of mind
Splendid home for those with the means to afford it ! ❤😊
Extremely well narrated, in a truly beautiful, one of a kind, Country home. Well done!
Gosh, I love the big old houses! When you guys viewed Eden Castle, that was my favorite but this is a close second🤩
Perfect for the billionaire with a large, multi-generational family. Needs a full-time cleaning staff and a full-time gardening staff. The new homeowner could provide lots of jobs for locals, including the local building trades to keep up with all the maintenance on this house.
I think it would be a nice BnB.
It definitely needs staff. Cleaning this would be impossible if it was just a couple, or even a multi-generation family.
The house , the grounds are great and all. But what I enjoyed the most about this video is the conversation. Lovely ❤
Brilliant video! What a house...I loved the amount of detail that you pointed out Matt. It really does look like a Nat Trust home.
NOW THAT HAS TO BE ON A WISH LIST!
GREAT CHANNEL!
Beautiful home with great history
You could play a serious game of hide and seek in this home!!! I love all the stairs and different levels!!!
Magnificent home 👍
Hey, small paned glass was a thing of the Tudor/Elizabethan Era, which the home is a copy of, NOT Victorian era, by then glass was HUGE...just look at the older homes in London, New York, Boston, Paris, Manchester, Berlin, Rome, Marseille, Madrid, Stockholm....
Yes, and of course Crystal Palace in London. These boys don’t know their history, LOL. 😂
Stunning countryside estate. Very warm and stately 🔥 that Tudor style reminds me of the Fairmont hotel style
As an American it would be a huge honor to be able to live in the U.K and a estate like this love from America 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Definitely at the top of the imaginary real estate portfolio 😊.
I did enjoy this video, the fireplaces and staircase was beautiful. Plus you can see both Matt and Tom's boyish trait for adventure coming out while exploring the house, brilliant.
If you think I'm going down into that cellar at 1am you got another think coming 😂😂😂
I won't have imagined that a house this splendid was just around the corner from my rater modest home. Incredible character, absolutely gorgeous !
There's a series on TV at the moment, about agents selling luxury homes; it's an absolute joke how useless they are compared to you Matt, it worked really well with inputs from Tom behind the camera. Incredible house, I do wonder what the chances of it being kept unmolested are though

I really love your presentation here, the details, history and information and the casual way of talking about it. It makes the space more meaningful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Magnificent estate.
Damn I would not want to be responsible for getting this house ready to move, packing would be a nightmare!
Thanks Lads, another gem of a showing. Amazing Property.
Stunning, you get a lot for your money
Thank you for the video love it more when you guys are touring not the agents who come time and time again
That was a very Alan Partridge like product placement at the start!
This is so beautiful, no stupid lifts in the house. Well cared for and still looks like it should. Just needs a bit of decorating. Think the kitchen area needs to be bigger.
You guys have to continue the guy to guy tours!!! Enjoyed it sm best video on the channel 😄
So beautiful. Would be a dream to own... I just wonder how much is the 'upkeep' of the home... surely there must be groundskeepers and the indoor housekeeping as well... must be quite a pretty penny...
Great show guys 👏🏻
Beautiful house, but probably freezing in Autumn, Winter and Spring.
That balcony actually is a balcony -- it's contained under the roof, unlike the oriel windows that are so often called balconies.
What a lovely house 😎. Just perfect 👊😍
So beautiful. Classic Hampshire, classic England. Jutes (Jutlandic Danish) settled in the Lymington area in the 500s CE, fascinating...
The fact it was a simple children's home a few decades ago says it all. New Forest has become very overpriced. I struggle to find anything to do around here, apart from sailing/horses. Have to go to Bournemouth and even that is an empty shell now!
How tall are you? For references on some of these doors and ceilings?
Victorians were more than capable of making larger panes of glass.
I love this mansion.
inside of the house is amazing
Imagine how much this would cost in Hampstead
Those chimneys 🤩
It's so amazing, it's overwhelming
The room you called the Library was absolutely not originally used for that purpose…think it was the butlers or housekeepers office: the Library was one of the ground floor main rooms.
Interesting to see how the house looks now; it has been changed around a lot. But the views outside are wonderful :-)
£9M for this amazing place or a 4 bed flat in central London. 🤔
Exactly
That’s a lot of house!!!! Love it
La casa esta muy bien , pero demasido cara teniendo en cuenta que necesita algunas reformas , respetanto ornamentos originales de la casa , quedaría increíble😍
I love this house ❤ Thank u
A bit arts and crafts. The slight Tudor panelling and chimneys.
Really beautiful home and garden - stunning
Mullioned Windows...the iron frames set into stone...worth mentioning. Mullioned!
that tree!!!!😍🌲
hi Lee we have just had a look we will be in touch this week Tony G
I love looking at old world estate homes but honestly I’d never want to live in one. I hoping to get a tiny home some day .
Beautiful, I'd love to live there.
Too cool. ❤love it.
Beautiful house would love to live there🎉
Ok, I'll have to watch it a second time, trying to focus now on the house.
8:22 the bee is a paid actor
I think you should start the tour at the front door and go from room to room as you come to them.
Exceptional 🙏👍. Great presentation 👏
Does a lot of the furniture come with the house?
lol... feather pillows? perhaps.
Looks banging although I'd be happier with less house and more land
Let's hope the house has better luck selling this time around....recently spent a long time on the market before being removed.....The market will dictate if it thinks the new price is fair.
Could be abit scary at night for a small family 😂
Very interesting home and very nice. It is interesting to see the differences in house designs of the Victorian era and the house designs of today. Give me a traditional styled home but with modern amenities.
Now that’s more like it!
Love it and the countryside and coastal village. I would have matt and tom as my butlers for eye candy. So much better value than rotten places in london without space and peace and quiet and flora like this to grow and enjoy.

Was it sold ? The link opens up to numerous of homes , makes it impossible to find this home
Although some of the “original charm” has been lost, a lot is still there. And it appears the major maintenance is up to date, which costs MILLIONS.
Such fun!!!
At 22 minutes in am i hearing a very very faint The Seed and the Sower or maybe the title track itself Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence playing in the background ? Im 90% sure i am. 😊
I love it.
I want it! Can't afford it but really, really want it. Going to have to start buying those lottery tickets...
Great home, one of your best videos. Would love to know the upkeep costs of the house.
There will be a lot more coming up for sale for these Big houses as the fall of the Cabaal takes a dive!
10% of £9,000,000 = £900,000 and not £1,800,000 but still probably £40,000 / month mortgage 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic house though 👍👍👍
Most people who got money to buy a place like this don't have a mortgage lol
They don't use their own money, they use somebody else's money
@@jonathanchappell1254 Over $2 million it tends to be cash.
@@jonathanchappell1254Sometimes they do if their liquid assets such as cash would be better placed in investments and the return on those investments pays the mortgage.
£900,000 is correct and £47k pm
Brilliant 👍🏼
It was listed for £10m and is now listed for £8m
Damn this is beautiful. Too bad I will never be able to afford anything like it hahahahahhaa.
It’s a warren of mismatched spaces, needs to be redesigned and reconfigured to be worth the asking price IMHO
Brilliant home
7:50 I wonder why they put the TV there when they could have just put it in the middle of that wall where everyone seated will have a clear view of the TV

Take you an hour just to go through the home and secure it.😊
Somewhere near Lymington, but where exactly?
He gives a pretty major clue at the start of the video - the house is called Boldre Grange.
It was the ladies who retired to the drawing room after dinner While the gentleman stayed in the dinning. room drinking port and smoking cigars to discuss issues that one would not discuss in the presence of ladies
They joined the ladies in the drawing room later
Last time I looked 10% of £9000000.00 was £900,000.00, not 1.8 million
