I love seeing a man who is as tender as this man was. I didn’t find the wife’s laugh to be that unnerving. The house options were wonderful.
I was curious about all the houses so I watched all of it but This Woman's laughter is mind-boggling to say the least. Can't stand it!!!
Definitely the mystery house! Give that poor man his lake! So sad for him!
I know, what a b@tch!
no, the first house is better
What gets me ... with all these videos .... not just this one ... is when they say "I'd like a garden with a couple of Acres or more "! ... when they haven't a clue how big "a couple of acres actually is "!!!
To be fair she Did mention rescuing ponies, and they need about half an acre or more each, so in this case, maybe they did get it right. But most of them have no idea. I have seen it here inSpain so many times. They want Olive groves nd orange trees and they have no idea how much work that is! I knew someone who bought half a mountain with her house! She cannot do anything with it, she is not even allowed to let shepherds graze their goats any ,more, but because of the fire risk she has to maintain it. Costs her a fortune! For nothing! Hahaha!
The second house had it all. The house for her, the land for him. Perfect.
That was definitely my choice! Loved it!💛
No, she wanted the land too for her ponies. It was all about her.
@@marcobagut I agree with you 100%. She said she was used to moving her furniture around she needed a room for her mother she needed land for her ponies and a room for her dog. Selfish
They should buy the mystery house, gorgeous and historic and the land, with that lake!! Loved it!!
The mystery house obviously meant a lot to the husband. In the very beginning, he teared up talking about a house he had wanted, but it was taken off the market. He reminded me of someone who had experienced some great difficulty, perhaps PTSD. The wife's only expressed opinion was to dislike the beams and likes to move furniture around often. If the land and the lake makes the husband happy, then buy that property!!
Ive said this many times...if youre a married man, there is no point in turning up for the viewings. IF you ever got your own way (you won't), the man will still be paying the price, long after the mortgage has gone.
I thought the same thing Elizabeth, why not buy the lake with the little bit of land and build your new home there ? It's possible I guess they wouldn't allow a new build due to the historic home and property so close.
The wife got everything that she wanted. So I hope she's happy moving her furniture around and having a bedroom for her dog and her mother
She seems Mighty selfish to me. And she got her land for her Pony. It's all about her!!!
To bad she couldn’t see her way to giving to him his dream. But such is life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰🤗
I grew up under the threat of nuclear war. We did drills at school. My grandparents had a fallout shelter built into their basement, with walls of concrete several feet thick. That's where my grandmother stored her jars of jellies and canned vegetables, and a deep freezer for the food she put up out of their garden every year, enough to eat until the following harvest. We never needed it as a fallout shelter, but we were ready just in case.
So in the end she got her way... I mean the guy is clearly broken and needs some respite. He loved the lake, but she couldn't give in! In the end, he even pretends that was his decision too, he must be used to it.
I REALLY hope that he bought the lake and told her to enjoy her life with her mom, dog and ponies! LOL
If my husband wanted that lake like this man did, I'd make sure he'd have it.
Me too, always.
Good on you. 👍
Me too.
I would suggest buying the 6 acres and the lake and build a house of your choice. That way too, you wouldn`t be restricted by the grade two listing on the house.
@@anteeker What a great idea, would have solved their dilemma!
Another reason to be single. You choose what works for you. (insert less annoying laughter here).
Yes, I have seen this one but will watch it again ..thank you 😊it really was very sad to see her husband break down over the lake ..shows that he is a sensitive person ..
Shows he needs to stop taking her estrogen replacement pills.
I think Simon really wanted the mystery house. I thought it was a lovely place, with a lot of character.
I enjoy this program very much, from it's beautiful scenery, very old homes (compared to what most of us have in the US), their British accents and different ways of labeling things, such as what they call the first floor, we call the second floor in the US, etc. Great program!
What you call the first floor is the ground floor in the UK - makes more sense
I like your description in the US 🇺🇸 of half bathrooms, which we call a cloakroom … a loo and basin
One very good thing about the second property is the possibility of ground-floor living, such that this couple could conceivably "age in place" or grow old in that house, not having to worry about navigating stairs every single day. Sure, house two didn't have a pond and lots of land, and it was at the high end of the budget, but it's going to remain accessible for them, physically, pretty much forever.
Ann Keefer you are right, I find it mind boggling that people are looking to retire but always look for masters upstairs. I would want a one level house or the possibility of converting one of the room on the ground floor for future. Stairs are not friendly for old age
The second was my favorite although not being someone who likes to swim my first thought was take the pool out and put in a garden.lol. The third is lovely but I couldn't live in a house that closed in. The house was awkward to walk through . The land is gorgeous.
With the beautiful sanctuary, it was a delight to see Scottish Highlander cattle along with Belted Galway. The hons of the Scottish Highlander remind me of the Texas Long horn which seem to be a larger version. The Scottish cattle ate much more gentle than our Texas cattle. If I ever retire, I would like a pair of crossed Scottish Lighlander and Belted Galway - the cross keeps all but the horns.
Practicality won out...more like the wife's view won out. It was amusing to see the different reaction of the two to the mystery house --- the husband was adorable! I understand both have to live in the house but I felt very sad for the husband.
Yes, she could have taken those beams out of the living room but you could tell from her personality that he didn't have even a thin chance.
Her constant laughing got to me. It was probably nerves, but wow.
@@jcny11 I agree with you on her giggling. She is selfish and used to moving her furniture around. Room for.mother and her ponies.
me too! she was a dreary one...I would have left her and lived by the lake!
@@tootz1950 If it's a grade 2 property they'd have to get permission to do ANYTHING. I wonder if that's why the beams were still there but the rest of the wall removed. The owners were not allowed to remove them?! Grade 2 properties can be real nightmares to take on. LOL. Maybe the husband could buy the little lake and while his wife is enjoying her time with ponies, her dog and her mother, he can have his peace and quiet by HIS lake 🙂
Saw three lovely houses. 👌👌❤❤
Me Me Me!! She wants it all! We are moving there in the next couple of months...and we can't wait.. she has ideas above her what she can afford!!
Love this show
Her laugh is maddening.. it might cause one to have a seizure!!!😱😱
I. Loved. The. Mystery. House. Period!
😊Thank you for sharing with the USA viewers❣🇺🇲
love the barn house
Thank you for posting these!!
JUST A NOTE: My heart also hurt for the husband like many of you. My first thought about the wife was not a very nice one. But, I've gone through some hard things over the past few years. It has caused me to try to change my perspective on some things. One of them is not to make quick decisions without ALL the facts! In this case, we just don't know enough of their backstory to judge. This is just my unasked for humble opinion.
Brenda Tajik, you are being very polite, 😊 but saying "not a very nice one" is already quite polite for her..😉😄
Brenda, Same here-agree. And some of us know a little about your struggles and appreciate your honesty and survival. Hope you are doing okay.
I agree with you. When I was young I was excruciatingly shy, yet my bff told me everyone thought i was a stuck up snob and to try not to be so shy. This made it worse and I felt wretched for a long time. X♡
@@goodfrequency8171
I'm a survivor! Thanks Valerie! 🥰
@@brendatajik6150 You sure are. I am too. I know a bit about what you wrote. Would love to hear more someday. Bless you...
I really wanted him to get his mystery house with the lake.🙄
What a glorious place🌷🌻🌺🍀!
nice sunroom in h-3, but that house number two was stunning from one end to the next!
Looks like the only one compromising was the husband. He really loved the lake mystery house but his wife wants to move furniture around. Poor man🥺
when I was an electrical apprentice in the then Commonwealth Railways Australia, I use to work on self propelled Budd Rail Cars, that were powered by Rolls Royce Merlin engines, when I first saw one I thought wow, and immediately the spitfire came to mind. That`s as close as I ever got to the legendary aircraft.
i like the malvern hills
Mystery House all the way
practicality won out....loved the mystery house interior...but noticed he had to duck his head down a few times...so I understand why they may not have chosen this property...
Why does she need such giant rooms? Mystery house was lovely
To swing her many cats
...Because everyone has different needs and preferences.
@@metastract Wants are one thing (she wants her way) needs are another.
@@kristinebailey2804 she stated that she was used to moving her furniture around. She needed a downstairs bedroom for her mother and dog and land for ponies. She is very selfish
Where do people put their coats and jackets and boots and wet shoes and umbrellas when they enter into houses in England?
The wife wants to rescue ponies and to move furniture around... he loves nature and bird-watching. If that were my husband... he would have gotten his dream... the mystery house with the little lake.
I know this couple, live not far from me, they have a beautiful big house that they moved into!
what area?
Did they choose one of the 3 houses?
And I bet they love their house.
“Ann says, “That’s nice isn’t it”........computer says no”
The danger is over restoring removing vital charicter of the building.
I so wanted him to have his lake.
It's such a rare and special thing-- I couldn't deny someone that...
Wow, it as very, very sad that the wife didn't have the heart to overcome her selfishness and let her husband have something that meant so much to him. I wonder how much time she is would have spent sitting around the house when that property had so much to keep them busy and happy?
I feel sorry for him. Practicality means just selfishness of his unpleasant wife.. Even the way she laughs is unattractive and insincere. Poor man..🙁
......yeah.......even though the house, in its design elements, was a caricature of a real home, IMO.......i still would have figured some way to work with it.......just to see that dear man have his dream.......💜✝☕
@@carlaifera5254 Yeah. Well, who knows, eh? But if I saw my man get weepy over something, I'd probably give in
Grade 2 properties can be real nightmares to take on. LOL. Maybe the husband could buy the little lake and while his wife is enjoying her time with ponies, her dog and her mother, he can have his peace and quiet by HIS lake 🙂
I absolutely adore Jules❣❣❣ This is one of my favorite shows and learning about all of the rich history...❤❤❤ I absolutely love the mystery house...I'd write a check and move in!! I would have to paint SOME of the beams white to make it seem bigger...please don't hate on me. ❤❤❤
.....💜
Yes, I completely agree with you! Painting the beams white and lightening the walls would definitely make the room seam larger and brighter!
so funny and cute watching him try to sell them on house #1 😆
I can't stand Jules...way to keen to control the buyers' reactions.
Excellent choice.
As a Scot i would buy a place and every morning at 6 am play the bagpipes for an hour.Then a dram of whiskey.Two drams on Bannockburn Day.
The women’s laugh got to me ! She didn’t stop.......
I also want him to have the lake.
Well, I think it was a bit of a 'dirty trick', after she had explicitly said she didn't want beams (!) to show them a house that was 'Beam Central', have him fall for the lake and then she's put in the position of having to be that bad guy because she says 'no'. I quite understand; I don't like small, claustrophobic rooms with tiny windows. Sometimes, it isn't JUST the beams, but what that style is and brings with it. A house with large windows FEELS much larger than 'keyhole windows'.
Have to agree. The grade 2 listing wouldn't be my cup of tea. I didn't think any of the house were what they asked for. The entry to the third floor bedroom would present a big problem for the Tall husband. The pool house looked more like a summer or weekend getaway home. Not really what I think of in an Escape to the Country house. I hope they found the right house for both of them. The dog belongs to both of them, and since when does caring about our mother's safety while visiting make us selfish? Lighten up folks.
Good on you. Some of the posted comments have been extremely judgmental, when we don't know these people or their dynamics at all.
They’re good series
what does it take to get this lady excited she definitely has a lack of enthusiasm 😒
Her laugh gives me the creeps.
Killjoys all the way.
Goodness! It seems many are judging people they don't even know. Do you know how you would act if you were being on a show that so many people watch? I think her laugh was from being nervous. I do hope they found a home they both would enjoy for many years to come. Husband and wife should always take the others feelings into account, they just needed some time to make the right one.
So nice to read a kind comment! Why are people so judgmental? :(
I agree. These comments are cruel and uninformed.
"Blessed are the merciful." ❤
I want the lake 😭
Living room too small so no love.
Oh ! I want the mystery house please !
Love it
It’s almost like she went into planning on not liking anything.
Something must have been going on with this couple, why was moving so emotional? The mystery house was a dream for sure and house number two was great also, seemed just right for them.
The mystery property was a dream. They could even buy the plot with the lake and had 45K quid left for a make over. I'm sure they still regret their decision.
Who would clean all the windows in the mystery house?
Can't make over grade 2 listed build without planning permission.
I hate it when we are left wondering...
Jules, the statue at the beginning of this piece looks like Johnnie!
that wife should have let her husband have his lake! she dashed his dream.
She's domineering -- talks over him...
....yeah.....whatz with some women?!?!
Lakes have mosquitoes..
loved House 2. Would be ideal for me since i can't walk on stairs. I would fill in the pool as fast as possible though. Allergic to chlorine and they are ugly. A nice courtyard would be more up my ally.
Oh man! Simon loved that Mystery house and lake so much. There was everything Ann wanted too. Why could she not let him have his freaking lake if it made him that happy? Did not look like it was his decision to make at all.
Really? A hospital receptionist. Pretty sure we know who contributed the lions share of that house budget. But for every haughty woman like her, there exists at least one man with no spine. And if she knew anything about the needs of equine she would know two acres pasture is woefully inadequate.
WOW! Judgemental!
Actually, a clawfoot tub in the bedroom is part of my fantasy home. That first house was bitchin'!
The mystery property has a lot of amenities for less money, unfortunately the wife is a no go ,so he's probably going to get stuck in the second house. Happy wife happy life or at least less to gripe about!
Jules really got on my nerves on this one. Why does she have to say "wow"? Amazing and lovely seem perfectly positive to me. Good grief. Th mystery house had a lot of character and beautiful land but the rooms really were tiny. Can totally understand that they didn't got with it.
cozy = small
One would have thought that when they said’ a couple of acre’s’ , that’s what was meant !
Great.but people should make up minds
At 29:58 there is a picture of rocks thrown into the video for 1 second. Very strange...
Nick, I noticed that, too!
The video has been altered to prevent it being removed from You Tube
If a spouse is so affected by a property that it brings them to tears, then that is the one you buy. Unless it's absolutely a dog house you can change what you don't like. She could have taken down those beams in the living room which would make a massive difference. I didn't think she would though and they got what she wanted.
The house was listed. Not so easy to make changes there.
@@MrSullismom Well she'd just have to get used to it. It's just a house.
That bathtub in the bedroom would have to go. No thank you .
This lady is laughing so much.....oeffff. Not nice one......
......yeah.......i hate all that laughing.......it's really a cover up for an insincere person.......have been in many social settings where this was happening......loudly.......i never accept laughing as a viable alternative for honest communication.......🎭
Yeah laughing is terrible. How dare she.
I'm sure it's nervous laughter. She probably feels uncomfortable in front of the camera.
I USED TO SELL REAL-ESTATE AND I CARRIED AN OLD SOCK FILLED WITH COLD PORRIDGE WHICH I WOULD WHIP OUT OF MY INSIDE - POCKET TO WHACK
TIME-WASTERS LIKE THIS PAIR ABOUT THE HEAD! YES! " BISH,BASH! SQUELCH, SQUELCH ! " . YES INDEED, JUST LIKE THAT!
I visited the town of Great Malvern and the Malvern Hills just once in 2008.
Having watched this a second time 3 months on, I’m still amazed at her lack of any emotion, dreary beyond dreary, I feel v sorry for him. The mystery house is perfect, but Mrs SELFISH is al me me me 😢😢
Sad really. Could they not have built somewhere on the property to heal the breach. I see her point but still.
i live in a flat in the malvern area currently would love to be able to afford a house here
The only down part about these programs is that no one ever seems to buy one of the 3 homes showen them... not that I have watched all the programs... but so far none of them have a house purchase.... and for me that is very annoying... like why even watch when you know no decision will be made other than the decision to not buy any of them.
Id fill that useless, high maintenance, seldom to be used pool with soil and have a Percy Thrower sunked garden.
he can find a lake to use and not have to take care of it will be better to avoid that horrible mystery house! it was 100% opposite of what she wanted.
Her laugh got on my last nerve!
Her personality was worse.
@@stephaniejade7056 What personality?
The worst part of this show is the nasty, thoughtless comments people post about two people they don't even know. Def will skip the comment section from now on.
What an uninspiring woman, no enthusiasm and all about me me me. Gorgeous houses, the barn for me was perfect
Some of you people are so rude, her laugh is fine.
Are you rude to call other people rude? Hmmm....
Alashabibti & AL AC, you are BOTH right! This is a lovely couple and I don’t get how some people feel their nasty comments add something of interest to the comments. It’s just another form of cyber-bullying!
I thought she had a wonderful laugh.
@@dv6800❤
Feels like folks are reacting more to tears and emotion than sensibility and realities, and jumping to pretty awful conclusions and assumptions about the wife and their relationship. Remember, we're getting limited access to their lives, everyone has "deal-breaker" criteria that the show is going to try to get around with the mystery house, and everything is edited down from snap judgements. The vast majority of the folks on this show don't end up getting any of the homes shown- it's ultimately a tourism show for the countryside. To me she just seemed uncomfortable in front of the camera, and that their dynamic was simply an "emotional one and sensible one" trope. Husbands get labelled sensible & practical, but when roles are reversed, wives get labelled domineering and controlling.
They're looking for a forever home and lifestyle. House 2 had the best of both worlds- land for birds and ponies, open spaces in the home, minimal maintenance since it's only 10 years old at the time of filming, and ground-floor living for them, their furbaby, and elderly family. Swimming or water aerobics is a wonderful way to stay fit as you get older. The courtyard pool could be converted to a lovely pond & garden if desired. If they ever did want to sell down the line, house 2 would get snapped up in a heartbeat.
House 3 would be quite difficult for anyone with current or future mobility issues, between the chopped-up rooms, stooping through doors, and multi-level living. Can y'all imagine trying to get around in there with a walker or cane? It would be really difficult for more than 2 people to occupy some of the indoor spaces comfortably, without doing some work (like removing the dividing beams, and peninsula in the kitchen) which, if I understand correctly, is really difficult and expensive to do in a Listed property. The upkeep for a home that old, along with basically a park, would be daunting for just about anyone. The land was undeniably lovely, but that type of property truly is a lifetime commitment. It would be an ideal space for someone who wanted to use the land for a cottage/tiny house/glamping holiday let.
Thank you. Commenters calling a woman who loves animals, cares for her mother, does charity work, and knows her hubby better than anyone else "selfish" is truly disgusting.
VERY cotrolling wife...he had NO chance..
And 100% selfish
100% judgemental
The trouble with this particular presenter is that he thinks that his opinion is important. It is not. His job is to listen to the couple and probe for what they want and need. Clouding things only places him as a salesman, not the person you want to help you .
He has a great outgoing personality . You need to watch more issues of the shows.
Her laugh seems very hollow 😊
I can't be alone in thinking she comes across somewhat smug and ungrateful. Yes, her laugh is annoying -- creepy really. She said there was a 'bathroom' in the bedroom, when it was just a tub! The husband can't find a new house in the country fast enough though. Anyway, Jules is amazing as usual.
the person who recorded this had some issues.
I don't think the wife likes very much of anything which makes you wonder why she does charity work - is it for show?
Drakelow tunnels, miles from Malvern and last used as a cannabis factory! Hahah. No mention of Bromyard Downs or the Gala and Folk Festival.
They seemed to me like they didn't really know what they wanted. Especially her. Some of the people on these shows have no intention of buying, they just want a freebie on the Beebie! I know because my workmate was going to do it, they were going to take them to Portugal or somewhere, but she wasn't allowed time off work Haha! They had no intention of buying in Portugal, knew nothing about the place! The people who Should have been going had had to pull out, so they had this posh Joanna Lumley type on video, get them in! I was offered a "No Going Back" by one estate agent, because they were looking for someone with kids who was buying a cave house. I didn't have kids, I did have a geriatric father! "Even better!" he said! "They are getting pretty desperate and that is an angle they haven't considered" Most are fake. I have been told that the Yanks have to agree to take a property on their rental versions. Which explains why the poor sods usually end up with something they did not want!
All totally wasted on them.
I didn't like the .we the woman. Seemed cold . Silly laugh . I think that she should have said take the mystery house, her husband clearly loved it . The inside was pretty, you don't have to move furniture every day.
Why so jerky ? Makes me suspicious that someone is pirating the episode.
The lady has to stop dying her hair.....she is getting very bold......
the word is'BALD' bold, has a very different meaning !
This is a pirate recording. Look at the movement of cars and even ducks. Shame! Do not subscribe to people who do this!
Her laugh really gets on my nerves.
BoredCertified -- I think she's charming.
i didn't even notice it, perhaps you need something for your nerves.
quite cackley
That laugh is so condescending...like "oh, you tried to be funny, oh, cuuute" 🙄
These videos are terrible. Herky-jerky movements, over-saturated colors, dialog out of synch.
