You know they’re catering to a very specific audience when they casually mention that there are two kitchens but don’t bother to show us either of them.
Yup. And cute pun!!
I can’t believe they aren’t showing the kitchens. That’s literally the best part of a house.
@@Elizabet_h That's not what 'literally' means...
@@markhirstwood4190perfectly valid use of 'literally'. What are you on about?
My guess is that the kitchens are very modern and don’t fit in with the theme of the video, which is about the historical restoration
You’d have to have a staff the size of a small village to keep things running properly. One person alone just to keep the draperies dusted! Massive undertaking.
Yeah bless the ppl saving these places…I was just thinking of all the dust too. It looks fantastic inside but the outside needs some love and I’m sure it was a multi million restoration already. So wild to think how many less tools they had to construct homes & how much more ornate they are.
If u got 75 mil quid to buy this chances are u can probablly afford to have some staff lmao
Triggered - it’s not so much the money but the attention and energies you’d have to direct towards something that palatial. At the very least you would be managing the people who manage the staff. Gorgeous in every detail you probably get more than you bargained for.
Oooh.. it's glorious..its like burying your face in beautiful lemon meringue wedding cake
The ceilings were the most impressive part of this estate.
The whole interior in my opinion.
I got a little chuckle out of the chapel being turned into the champagne room. Incredible restoration, wow.
I stayed at the Painswick Hotel some years ago. The private chapel is now the bar.
I often wonder if the reason why some of these properties are on AD is because the agents can't sell it or are struggling to find a buyer.
Its literally free marketing bro, its a win win for both parties. AD get views/money, the real estate showers get exposure.
This is a great restoration for a museum, but I wish they had been able to add a little more of real life into some of the rooms to make them more usable. I felt like all that gilded furniture was a little tacky, even in Buckingham Palace you don't see that much gold. I feel like their target buyer is a middle eastern oil billionaire.
I was going to say the same thing.
Yup. That's the taste level. It's like the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Or even, to some degree, the Paris Ritz. Too shiny, gold and brightly colored. Someone needs to de-restore it. I would love to see the "before" pictures. The exterior is magnificent.
Hahah....
This is the most beautifully considered restoration I have ever seen. Perhaps what makes this restoration so lovely is that it is welcoming as well as bright and cheerful which is rare to see. Heavy furniture, dark paneling and unwelcoming subdued wall color all contribute to an unpleasant interior experience. Thank you for AD for filming this estate and Alex Kravetz for his exquisite vision! Superb!
I fully agree with you. I hate those dark, gloomy rooms so loved by most Victorians! I asked for a loan to buy the house but the bank manager told me that I did not qualify for £75.000.000 😭😭😭
That was a brilliantly done restoration. It looks all very original. Great job.
It exudes respect for the original craftsmen and design. Compliments
I think it’s awful
Show some footage of it as an under appreciated office building- I’m curious !
What a stunning restoration. The attention to historical detail is beyond thoughtful, whilst the more modern rooms are tasteful and in keeping with the overall esthetic.
Can the structural engineer ever get any credit because without them none of this is possible!
pas d'ami, il n'y a, comment dire, pas d'art en ingénierie des structures
@guharup their is, but its only seen by fellow structural engineers
To own a historic Manor house is a secret dream of mine. But.. I don’t have $100 million pounds and this beautiful house out classes me by a mile. Hopefully the buyers will respect the history and love it.
If I had the money, I'd buy this. A restoration that manages to be both respectful of history and creative if I've ever seen one.
the ceilings of each room are magnificent. i could just look up all day in any room and be in awe.
This is an amazing restoration ! You can see all the original features in their former glory plus all the LED light strips, I bet it would look even more special when it's dark .
A chapel repurposed as a champagne bar! That really tells you everything about our modern era....
Yes and the types of people they're catering to
I will give you the kingdoms of the world if you'll worship me (devil)
Nobody gets rich by being a decent human being
Holy moly! The words, "Your Highness", "Your Majesty", come to mind!
It's a gorgeous house, without doubt. Personally, I would have kept the chapel, though. I think one bar is probably enough - even for a house this large. And, it would be more historically accurate. (Just my opinion.) :)
Agreed, a chapel is so unique today. Keep it.
Magnificent restoration. The attention to detail and opulance is stunning. Much appreciated
amazing restoration
Obsessing over the 1700 ceiling artwork. OBSESSING! 😍
This is an extremely beautiful estate
7.5m maybe not 75m.... someone is about to drink a coolade out of their fountain but its not going to be me
@@JM-oi9pkhow can you possible think this is worth 7.5m …
Every inch (shown) is beautifully done. Spectacular ❤
You need Downtown Abbey amount of staffs to keep this mansion running. Bless to people who may afford such lifestyle
It was a massive undertaking, but the results are excellent. The place looks so elegant and regal.
Yes, AD, historic videos! I Love that!! ❤
A prayer room turned into a place to get pissed LMAO very 21st Century!
Absolutely magnificent restoration.
3:40 I understand that tapestries were an early form of acoustic treatment as well.
Thank you for showing the principle rooms!
Beautiful mansions with lots of room and space
excellent curation of colours and truly a concours restoration.
STUNNING!!! 😍
What a great house. The pinnacle of wealth and luxury!
Very stunning restoration and the interior is so well done without being gaudy.
Advice to the one buys it: 75M pounds is a lot of money so make sure it has a new roof (look at it in this video) first and check the viability of the plumbing, electrical and HVAC. When this house was built they didn't have such things. It looks like the bulk of the restoration was focused on decor so it may merely be an expensive flip. You know these types. It's all about appearances (because they see themselves as artists) and the mechanical (logic, heavy lifting and blue collar labor) is someone else's problem.
Perfect "eye's wide shut" party house 🤟
Love the Herman Leonard photograph of Dexter Gordon at 6:21
Fantastic restoration and fantastic filming. Please make more videos like this AD!
Yes
This is a beautiful symmetrical English palace with decorated walls and ceilings and many gardens.
This is beautiful and is made for a King!
I want this estate. Perfection !!!
Beautiful! I love the entertainment area. Looks like a very expensive hotel.
Magnificent !❤
I very much appreciate the thoughtful and brilliant renovation, even though this opulence is not my style.
But embossed leather floors? I have many questions and reservations.
WHEN EVERYONE IS IN A STATE OF CONFUSION
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A VERY IMPORTANT [KEY] APPEARING
WHETHER IT IS A NOBLE PERSON OR A LOW EBB EXPERIENCE BUT IN CONCLUSION
WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE WILL LEAD TO A BETTER DIRECTION
I agree with you Investment is the key to sustain in financial longevity . And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return. Which is profitable.
@@youmbidejesus3938Wow, I'm shocked,
someone just mentioned and recommended, Mrs, Carol Brewster
Oh to have that kind of money and live in a GORGEOUS country estate. LOVE IT!!!
C'EST TRES MAGNIFIQUE!
Honestly the price seems kind of cheap for such a large and well-renovated house in a nice village so close to London. £75m doesn’t usually stretch far there!
I think you mean inexpensive, not cheap
@@SimplyveejWhy would the person mean "inexpensive", rather than "cheap"? It almost seems as though you believe that the use of the word "cheap" will somehow diminish the
'grandeur' of the place! 😂
No need to be so precious in the choice of language used to describe this monstrosity of interior design. Nothing could possibly change what this is ; over-the-top ostentation. A nouveau riche nightmare.
rich people dont want to live out in the country so these houses are less than you might expect
Very nice, and nice original style. I wouldn't be able to live there tho, out of fear of damage and tiring of such design
Stunning
I would turn it into a hotel and event space as there are very few clients that understand that this property is an investment in time as well. It's a throwback to the way people used to live. A full-time staff would be required. The owners most likely wouldn't live here year-round. Also, it would only appeal to a certain taste. The decor is rather heavy as was the norm in the 17th-18th century.
The Bond Bar and Lounge are the estate’s MVPs
Mr Kravetz has done an amazing job.
The drive and exteriors are lush but the interior decor I couldn’t live with personally
Amazing ❤
Wow Magnificent!
What a beautiful place but I think it should be a museum, not a house. Those ceilings are absolutely stunning!! Thanks for the tour :o)
We can be inspired by such a house and decorate our rental 😍
It's a lovely restoration. I wish the music matched the architecture and decor.
I may or may not try and build an estate inspired by this one in The Sims
I'd be happy with the vintage grand piano 🎹
GORGEOUS!
Someday, I’ll have a house with yellow silk curtains, but for now I will dream!
wow, amazing residence.
This is stunning
It’s so grand!
I was really holding out for 15 bathrooms otherwise it is a wonder.
😂
This is the exact IRL for Beldingford manor in Hitman Contracts, I want this !
Absolute wonder. 👍👍😊😊❤️❤️❤️🌞🌞🌻🌻🇬🇧🇬🇧
This mansion reminds me of Amadeus movie.
Absolutely beautiful. Very tastefully done.
Perfect!
incredible
Extraordinarily beautiful. The restoration is breathtakingly gorgeous. I’ll buy it!!!❤
All that OTT redecoration and they failed to repair the sash windows - in the master bedroom suite no less! Makes you wonder what other things have been let slip
Perfect for doing airbnb or homestay.
The cinema 😍
You should bring more UK houses to the channel.
And millions of people have literally no roof. Quite dystopian if u ask me x
Why don't those people build a roof?
My Lorddd smh💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Versailles vibe, lovely..... Gorgeous...This is fit for a single Queen😂😂😂❤❤❤❤yesssssss
Too beautiful to be lived in
Legendary awesome
I really do like the Bond bar.
How much just for that since I'm not interested in the rest of the museum? 😁
one day I might buy it
I live on the council estate a 2 minute walk away
I dread to think of what goes on beyond those walls
so nice.... ♥♥
i see a hidden door in the principal bedroom 🔥🔥🔥
WOW! I definitely live in a hovel.
It’s reminds me of the house in atonement
So completely wonderful. I would love to live amidst such incredible refinement. Blessings to whoever the new owners get to be.
Centuries have past but the motives still are the same: such egotrip vanity houses were and are built to show off wealth and power. An attempt to impress. Everything oversized, kitschy shiny glamour objects and colors, and formal gardens where practically no animals can live.
👏🏽
Awesome very nice great
Stunning! It's almost a museum though. Very Versailles/Dynasty. Even if you won the highest Euromillions prize, 75,000,000 would be a big dent in the wallet.
Yes, please.
The chapel is now a champagne bar. Now you are talking my language!
Sad what theyve done to the chapel
Exactly!
Could you do Wolterton?
Hello; thanks. What I do not understand is how you can remove the paint layers WITHOUT damage the paintings? or were painted again?
They were painted again
@@armada7883 They should mention these new great restorers (painters)
Amazing Property I love it .Could you plz tell me it's still available in Market
