Our home is an 1840s weavers cottage in Yorkshire. I could probably also fill a whole video with quirkiness 😅 but the main one has to be our double size third floor half of which is a flying freehold over the neighbouring house. The third floor would have originally been a loom room where weavers from several of the neighbouring cottages worked. The space is now divided into two bedrooms and a 30ft double height living room, which always takes visitors by surprise in what would have originally been a two up two down cottage. I love having our main living space tucked away upstairs away from everything else, it feels so peaceful. And it is quite a mindful act to take ourselves away from the kitchen downstairs which is definitely a "working" room to relax in the living room ☺️
I love this video and love reading all the comments 😊 we have a bathroom just off the kitchen downstairs too and with a grubby blacksmith/bushcraft instructor husband and a mud goblin child it's an absolute boon! Being able to go straight from outside to the shower is just brilliant. I adore our open fire and log burner too and my little open staircase which is perfect to decorate for Christmas. We're in a 1900 colliery terrace with two up two down and a tiny kitchen/bathroom extension downstairs but it's a palace and I absolutely adore it. ❤
I too had a black white cat named Betty. Betty Boop was her full name and I lost her to cancer this past April. Loved seeing your Betty. Brought sweet memories to mind.
I love almost everything about my 1940s home. *I love that all my rescues have plenty of windows with wide sills to sit on. * I love that it's not open plan. I live in an alpine region of Australia and being able to close off rooms on freezing days and nights is wonderful. *I love my high ceilings. I don't feel claustrophobic. I love the decorative cornices on those ceilings. * I love the old built in linen closet directly outside my bathroom. It holds all my towels and linens right where I need them. * I love the old tiled shelf at the end of my cast iron bath. It holds all my girly skincare haircare body wash etc.. * I love my kitchen though it was renovated by a previous owner it was done in a cottage core style which I love. * I love the views outside of my old wooden casement windows. I live rural and have cows as neighbours on one side with beautiful rolling hills where I can watch the fog roll through. *I love the old fashioned cottage garden that is my most beloved project in bringing it back to life. Oh dear I've written a novel 🙃 I love my home I think it's the best place on earth. I also love your channel and consider you a kindred spirit 🏡😻
My husband and I love your channel - we care for my 90 years old mother 24/7 since her stroke. She can't speak now and is bedbound but we watch your channel together and she's absorbed by each video from start to finish. Your home is beautiful. Not just bricks and mortar but is food for the soul - absolutely radiates the peronalities and emotions of you and your mother but of all who have gone before, in the walls and in everything you have in it. What stories it holds! Read this and weep Ikea. Oh, and we love chintz too. Very well done Hannah. You have given my mum a lot of pleasure.
My goodness, this has brought me joyous tears, may I share this comment on my other socials? It is genuinely the reason that I make videos and share my love of the charm of bygone eras. All my love to your mother, and to you and your husband ❤
I am in Charlotte, NC and 57 year young woman. I have been watching your channel for a while now and just love your content. I love your vision, your humor, your love for your family and your pigeons. Keep up the good work.
We're temporarily living in a maisonette built in 1850. My favorite parts are stained glass door to the lounge and into the main bedroom from the ensuite bathroom, The skylights in the upstairs hall, and the private front garden, as well as the views of charming buildings, trees, and a bit of mountains in the distance. Focusing on the positive is key, since there are other features that are more a hassle than anything else.
We have a 1905 semi. What we love that is still remains is.. the high ceilings; picture rail in front room and all original 4 panel doors downstairs, skirting boards and half way up the stairs is a single pane stain glass window...not big but sweet and has the curly window arm.
I really like your 1920s house! I wouldn't want to move away from it, if I were you, either! Our house is a 1914 house, and just as quirky. We've lived in our house for 44 years! We have a basement that you can't get to from inside the house. You have to go out the front door, walk down the path around to the basement door, and use a key to enter the basement. I'v often wished we had a trap door down into our basement, but can't think where to put it, as our house is very small. Still we love our house, and are quite used to it. Our house is 110 years old, and still a lovely little home! I'd love to visit your house to get a proper look at its insides. You seem to belong in your house. Thanks for sharing it with us on RUclips! ~Janet in Canada
Grew up in a 1909 Duplex with more Victorian style. Live in a 1940 single family home now. Both in a town outside of Harrisburg, PA. My home has Tudor archways, a stone fireplace and the original wood floors. So glad no one 'updated' any of it.
I grew up in a two story house that was built in late 1800's for cotton mill workers. two rooms downstairs two bedrooms upstairs. The stairs were closed in but were in the kitchen, A pantry was in the kitchen under the stairs. No indoor bathrooms until much later.! Guess where they put them!! Yes enclosed some of the big porch and bathroom was right at the kitchen!! I loved that old house! They were duplex so mother and I lived in one side and grandmother and uncle lived in the other side! Great memories! Oh yes! we had a coal burning fireplace and a coal burning heater in the kitchen. Later gas lines were installed but I missed the fireplace so much! My grandmother not so much!!
There are things about your house that you say are odd that are very common here in Canada, like toilet rooms with no sink (in circa 1890-1900 houses), a bathroom being off the kitchen, and the stairs leading into the kitchen. I live in a 1928, Craftsman bungalow in Canada. Both the stairs to the basement and the stairs to the attic lead directly into the kitchen. As far as I know, Craftsman bungalows were never made in the UK. We love so many things about ours: the wood floors with Art Deco edging, the old fashioned front porch, the mountain view, the corner windows, the original fireplace with original glassed-in shelves on either side, the basement-y smelling unfinished basement, the amazing wood support beams, the original kitchen cabinets, the cooling cabinet in the kitchen, the built-in cupboard and drawers in the hallway, the ironing board cabinet, the wood trim on doors and windows, the original Art Deco doors, the original brass doorknobs ... You get the idea.
In the house I grew up in and later moved back into to care for my mother we had a fireplace very much like this. The stones and tiles surrounded it. My kids were raised in that house too. They both have scars from falling on the stones. It was a grand fireplace though and the memories are priceless.
Were renovating a 1880s farm next to a little forest. We brought back loads of charm. For example a see trough fireplace in between the bedroom and the bathroom.
What an absolute delight! Love the fireplaces, love the stairs off the kitchen, love the stove...and absolutely love your pigeons! Your house reminds me of my Grandmother's house that would have been from the 1800's. I have her dining room set where I sat at for my 4th birthday. Beautiful memories. I have a big old 120 year old farm house style (in Canada) and every room has something quirky about it...and my house has such a good energy to it. The only thing that is missing is a fireplace. If I ever win a lottery....she's going to be fixed up just like she once was. A big applause for your love of beauty.
When we were re decorating my sisters bedroom we stripped the wallpaper to the original wall and found some children’s drawings, we’re guessing they were war time or not long after because they were of bomber planes and tanks. One of them was a cockpit under the window so we think the kid must have pretended to be a pilot while looking out the window
I live a world apart from you, in South Africa. I recently bought a new house with this random little, high window in addition to the large ones in the main bedroom. The previous owner had a blind in front of it, but I had the interior of the house painted before I moved in, and the blind was shabby, so I decided not to put it up again. It was a very big surprise to find that the early sun shine through this window, and move across the room in the morning. I can almost tell the time by it. And better still, sometimes the moon is perfectly framed by the it. I don't know if this was the purpose of the little window, but I absolutely adore it, and will never cover it up.
My home also has a bathroom right off the kitchen, and I also like to open the bathroom window (in warm weather, unlike the present) when I bathe. I'm out in the country, so hearing the birds and insects and distant train whistle from time to time is lovely! I also like the handsplit beams in the basement and our lack of central air/heat. There's nothing like a woodstove or fireplace to promote togetherness in cold weather!
In my 60s post modern bungalow, I have a fabulous sunroom, resplendent with a pine feature wall, which I love and views out to my back garden and bird bath. I love that I have a courtyard for hanging out the washing and parking vehicles that I do not have to look out onto. I love my garden. I love the laundry with the unfilled window section left open from when the sunroom extension was added, which serves as a fantastic bar for parties. I love that my sunroom is big enough for all my books as well as a huge desk and a cane lounge suite. I love my blackwood kitchen with room for a small kitchen table. I love that I do not have an ensuite bathroom, but do have a second toilet off the laundry, so don't need to go to the bedroom wing of the house, during the day. I love my kitchen table and the pull out extra bit of bench space. I love my dishwasher. I love my hills hoist clothesline. ie the solar and wind powered clothes dryer. Most of all I love hearing the birds chirping away outside and watching the weather rolling in from the west, as well as sunsets!
You have a beautiful house. I love it! And you're right, a fireplace makes a house a home. I myself live in an apartment designed and built in the 80's. It's been renovated since a tornado hit it several years ago, but it's like some architecht's first go at a living space. All the boxes are checked, without much thought to how functional the arrangement of things are.
I love your house too, what a lovely cosy place it is…I really enjoyed watching your Halloween videos. It was our 50th wedding anniversary and we visited the church where we married all those years ago it was all closed and doors locked we were a bit disappointed but then from behind the church appeared a beautiful witch 😮 we chatted and she took some lovely photos of us together..bless you Hannah x
My flat isn't vintage (well maybe technically) but it has a shower with a curtain that's a single step up and down, and let me tell you being able to move freely in that shower is wonderful every time!
My home (i still live with my parents) was built in 1930, and there's still original features to the home that i adore like the chandeliers (there are 3 total, and they're located in the living room, dining room, the hallway), the porch light is still original, and it has beautiful detailing on it but the back porch one broke and has been replaced with something close to the previous one. I also love the fire place that's in the living room, it's been bricked up for awhile but there is white and blue bricks in front of it with a mantel on top it. (the bricks around the fireplace, and the mantel have been painted white) also love the kitchen cabinet that's in the wall, with the doors underneath it. (I think they're the pantry doors?), i love the medicine cabinet in the bathroom too, along with the laundry poles that are in the yard! 😊
You lucky, lucky, lucky woman!!! My dream was always to have a fireplace in the kitchen. Can't be too rich or have too many fireplaces in your home!! Wonderful.
What a lovely, cozy video! Your home is beautiful and seems like a peaceful, incredibly pleasant place to live. I am envious of your cat and pigeons--I have wanted pet pigeons since I was a teenager, but where I live now I cannot have birds at all, and even if I could, hawks also live here. 😂 😅 (I mean. I _could_ technically have pigeons--there are mourning doves and other pigeons that live here too. But I also know for a fact that one of the neighbors keeps and flies a hawk, AND there are wild hawks, so. 🙃 ) That's the quirky, unique element to my home, which I would not change: I live in a suburb in California that backs right up onto a natural area, so we have a lot of wildlife and beautiful hills and mountains right behind and all around us. All chaparral desert. I used to walk past cactus patches when I was catching the bus to college. (The house is a plain stucco house, though. 😅 ) (Edited for spelling and to correct 'pets' to 'birds'.)
You have a lovely home with lot's of character and you have embellished it with things that you love it looks really cosy and welcoming unlike some modern mimilist houses then again they can give a sense of space, I prefer cosy, your pigeons are great well done. 👍.
Also a book I got was given to a person i now know who in the 1940s I bought in 2014 for 2 pound in chairty shop. Had appeased worth a lot. But I wouldn't sell it as it turns out it belonged to my great uncle I never met as he passed before I was born got accidentally put in chairty shop I got it back . I love it back in the family
I have a 1970s 2 up 2 down mid-terrace, not exactly vintage but I love the 70s. I love my original carpet (I had to clean the heck out of it when I moved in this time last year) and I have to say I’ve very glad I brought a carpet cleaner to keep it looking nice. I have the original interior doors,although sadly not the handles and could find any replacements. I also have the original stair rail and wood panels on the ceiling of the stairs but it’s been painted white so doesn’t look great.
The first house my wife and I owned was a 3-storey 1914 townhouse in Lancaster, PA. Hardwood floors, natural woodwork, honeycomb tiles on both bathroom floors, stained-glass windows, tile hearth in front of the fireplace. Heaven on earth? Not exactly. Crack sales went on right outside our front door, and a neighbor insisted on playing her stereo full blast when she got home from work at midnight. We now live in an 1845 farmhouse in northwestern Vermont. No stained glass, but the two neighbors whose house we can see from ours are a farm couple who keep decent hours.
When I lived in my grandparents’ house, which was built in the early 1950s, they had an internal vacuum system. I loved it! You didn’t have to drag around a vacuum unit, only a long hose you plugged into each room. Such a quirky option! Your home is adorable 😊
Let me get this clear: you have a hose attached to the wall in each room of your house? Does the dirt then just go into the wall? Is there a filter you have to clean out?
Totally agree! I love it as well. I can't believe all houses don't have a central vac system. If I were to do it all over again, I'd install that in a blink.
@@SusanForeman1963 lol yes. I believe they had a container that collected the dirt in the basement. I never had to do anything with it, so I’m not sure how often they emptied it. I’ve only seen one other house with this tech, but I’ve seen it in old MCM magazines, etc.
I have a 1950’s house in NZ. In my kitchen under the bench (counter) i have a pull out chopping board/wooden shelf. So handy to have the extra bench space
Hey, I’ve been watching a fair few of your videos and have noticed your bioethanol fireplace a couple of times. I’ve recently bought my first house (it was quite a stressful, lack of money situation like yours actually), but the old Victorian fireplaces can’t be used due to a large slab of concrete in the chimney. I was wondering how I would go about transforming these old fireplaces into bioethanol fireplaces. Do I need to have anything installed, or can I just construct a bioethanol fireplace in my already existing one? Thank you! 🔥✨
I grew up in a house built in 1898 which had no alterations at all after the 1920s when electricity and central heating was put in, but it was built for a multimillionaire so it was pretty luxurious even by the standards of today. The only problem was it was designed for a staff of 6 full-time servants and we only had a cleaner and an au pair
My house was built in the 1960s but is very unique inthat it doesn't look boxy like other 1960s homes as The front it triangular. My front bedroom has a port hole window where I display my Victorian ceramic jug and bowl set, my kitchen has red and yellow terrazzo checkered tile flooring, our fireplace is bult in the corner of the living room instead of against a flat wall and the chimney goes through the centre of the house and so on the landing above you can feel the warmth of the fire through the brick, it is also a cast-iron open fire but has a gas line fitted so we can turn it on with a switch. Just a few things I love about my house, but when I get my own place separate from my parents I want a Victorian terrace house!!!
I grew up in a House with a bathroom off the kitchen a cooker that looks like yours an outside toilet , open fire in the living room and our view was the local park
My flat is a converted basement. No gas, so have to rely on a electric water heater. Not sure whether it's because it's in the basement or because it's an electric heater, but the water pressure is very good - so would really miss the shower were I ever to move!
I couldn't live without my fireplace and wood burning fire. I may have lift in my house that because only way to get upstairs I couldn't live without it. I am paralysed. But I have lot victorian dresses and skirt etc though
The house itself is from the 20's, but Hannah's style is mainly of the 40's, making it kind of a 40's house built in the 20's, and it's 2024, almost 2025.
The pigeons made me cry; they are so beautiful flying around the house.
Our home is an 1840s weavers cottage in Yorkshire. I could probably also fill a whole video with quirkiness 😅 but the main one has to be our double size third floor half of which is a flying freehold over the neighbouring house.

Im in the US, and i own a 1920 Craftsman. It, too, has the stairway and bathroom off the kitchen. I love my old lil house.
I love this video and love reading all the comments 😊 we have a bathroom just off the kitchen downstairs too and with a grubby blacksmith/bushcraft instructor husband and a mud goblin child it's an absolute boon!

Mud goblin! I am bringing that one into daily use. 😂
Period homes have a charm that you can't replicate.
That's why we love them most
I too had a black white cat named Betty. Betty Boop was her full name and I lost her to cancer this past April. Loved seeing your Betty. Brought sweet memories to mind.
I love almost everything about my 1940s home.

I also love your channel and consider you a kindred spirit 🏡😻
Another fellow Aussie here from regional Victoria.
Your home and its surroundings sound delightful.
Nth East Vic here. While I'm in a small town I can relate about the Alpine area 💜🇦🇺
Your house is really cute and has so much personality. I love it
I have an old farmhouse, and I could not imagine living without the wraparound porch, the fireplaces, and the high ceilings!
oh I hope you don't plan to move - what you have is a lovely home - like heaven on Earth...
My husband and I love your channel - we care for my 90 years old mother 24/7 since her stroke. She can't speak now and is bedbound but we watch your channel together and she's absorbed by each video from start to finish.
Your home is beautiful. Not just bricks and mortar but is food for the soul - absolutely radiates the peronalities and emotions of you and your mother but of all who have gone before, in the walls and in everything you have in it. What stories it holds!
Read this and weep Ikea. Oh, and we love chintz too.
Very well done Hannah. You have given my mum a lot of pleasure.
This is so beautiful to read ❤❤❤
My goodness, this has brought me joyous tears, may I share this comment on my other socials? It is genuinely the reason that I make videos and share my love of the charm of bygone eras. All my love to your mother, and to you and your husband ❤
My house was built in 1920 and I love it. Have lived here almost 33 years. I kept the "state of the art" 1970s kitchen.
I think your home is adorable ! And I agree with you on all points.
I am in Charlotte, NC and 57 year young woman. I have been watching your channel for a while now and just love your content. I love your vision, your humor, your love for your family and your pigeons. Keep up the good work.

I too love my log burner - mine stands proud of the fireplace, so I can boil a kettle, bake potatoes, or rustle up a stew on top. Lovely.

After all those postives to your home, I kept thinking, you should never leave, what a darling place and the pigeons
I love your house im 16 and my room is crammed full of antiques and old furniture
That's so cool Andrew, what got you into vintage and antique furniture? 🥰
Appreciation. Accepting. Association. Being happy and happy that you're happy. I think a cup of tea at your house would be a grand experience.
I really like your 1920s house! I wouldn't want to move away from it, if I were you, either! Our house is a 1914 house, and just as quirky. We've lived in our house for 44 years! We have a basement that you can't get to from inside the house. You have to go out the front door, walk down the path around to the basement door, and use a key to enter the basement.

It's Thanksgiving tomorrow here in Kentucky & what a great video to watch that focuses on gratitude!
My sentiments exactly. This video is full of beautiful thoughts, positivity and happiness.
In the house I grew up in and later moved back into to care for my mother we had a fireplace very much like this. The stones and tiles surrounded it. My kids were raised in that house too. They both have scars from falling on the stones. It was a grand fireplace though and the memories are priceless.
My potting shed built by my husband and a dear friend. Makes me happy.
Were renovating a 1880s farm next to a little forest. We brought back loads of charm. For example a see trough fireplace in between the bedroom and the bathroom.
Truly, a nice, cozy home.
What an absolute delight! Love the fireplaces, love the stairs off the kitchen, love the stove...and absolutely love your pigeons! Your house reminds me of my Grandmother's house that would have been from the 1800's. I have her dining room set where I sat at for my 4th birthday. Beautiful memories.

A big applause for your love of beauty.
Love your kitty...she sure is enjoying your house and garden.

My daughter and I both love older houses. America doesn't have houses as old as Europe but we've got some nice 200 years (and younger) houses.

Such a soulful house. I cry when you told the story about the fireplace ❤❤❤❤
I adored every second of this video.
The shrine that we have in our new home in Osaka, I love it so much. Plus the kitchen it’s my dream kitchen
Our 1949 house built by my hubbys uncle has the bathroom off the kitchen as well. We live in Pennsylvania, USA
I love your house too, what a lovely cosy place it is…I really enjoyed watching your Halloween videos.

I also love the fire place that's in the living room, it's been bricked up for awhile but there is white and blue bricks in front of it with a mantel on top it. (the bricks around the fireplace, and the mantel have been painted white) also love the kitchen cabinet that's in the wall, with the doors underneath it. (I think they're the pantry doors?), i love the medicine cabinet in the bathroom too, along with the laundry poles that are in the yard! 😊
I’ve just come upon your channel and I’m loving your videos! I really enjoy vintage style 💚
I love your house, it has such character! 💕💕
Love the Beryl woodware plates!
I have fireplaces in my kitchen, den, and living room! I would miss that if we moved, but this is our forever home! Love your home!!
You lucky, lucky, lucky woman!!! My dream was always to have a fireplace in the kitchen. Can't be too rich or have too many fireplaces in your home!! Wonderful.
@ thank you so very much. Blessings!!
What a lovely, cozy video! Your home is beautiful and seems like a peaceful, incredibly pleasant place to live.
I am envious of your cat and pigeons--I have wanted pet pigeons since I was a teenager, but where I live now I cannot have birds at all, and even if I could, hawks also live here. 😂 😅
(I mean. I _could_ technically have pigeons--there are mourning doves and other pigeons that live here too. But I also know for a fact that one of the neighbors keeps and flies a hawk, AND there are wild hawks, so. 🙃 )
That's the quirky, unique element to my home, which I would not change: I live in a suburb in California that backs right up onto a natural area, so we have a lot of wildlife and beautiful hills and mountains right behind and all around us. All chaparral desert. I used to walk past cactus patches when I was catching the bus to college.
(The house is a plain stucco house, though. 😅 )
(Edited for spelling and to correct 'pets' to 'birds'.)
You have a lovely home with lot's of character and you have embellished it with things that you love it looks really cosy and welcoming unlike some modern mimilist houses then again they can give a sense of space, I prefer cosy, your pigeons are great well done. 👍.
I love your stories about your home..so interesting!
I had the same house, stairs in the kitchen and bathroom downstairs, also 1930 Belgium
You have such a beautiful home! I hope you don't move anytime soon☺
Also a book I got was given to a person i now know who in the 1940s I bought in 2014 for 2 pound in chairty shop. Had appeased worth a lot. But I wouldn't sell it as it turns out it belonged to my great uncle I never met as he passed before I was born got accidentally put in chairty shop I got it back . I love it back in the family
I have a 1970s 2 up 2 down mid-terrace, not exactly vintage but I love the 70s. I love my original carpet (I had to clean the heck out of it when I moved in this time last year) and I have to say I’ve very glad I brought a carpet cleaner to keep it looking nice. I have the original interior doors,although sadly not the handles and could find any replacements. I also have the original stair rail and wood panels on the ceiling of the stairs but it’s been painted white so doesn’t look great.
What a beautiful video, i love your gorgeous home ❤❤❤
The first house my wife and I owned was a 3-storey 1914 townhouse in Lancaster, PA. Hardwood floors, natural woodwork, honeycomb tiles on both bathroom floors, stained-glass windows, tile hearth in front of the fireplace. Heaven on earth? Not exactly. Crack sales went on right outside our front door, and a neighbor insisted on playing her stereo full blast when she got home from work at midnight. We now live in an 1845 farmhouse in northwestern Vermont. No stained glass, but the two neighbors whose house we can see from ours are a farm couple who keep decent hours.
Neighbours really do make a great difference!
Lancaster, Harrisburg and York have some pretty architecture. But I couldn't live there either. 🙂
When I lived in my grandparents’ house, which was built in the early 1950s, they had an internal vacuum system. I loved it! You didn’t have to drag around a vacuum unit, only a long hose you plugged into each room. Such a quirky option! Your home is adorable 😊
Let me get this clear: you have a hose attached to the wall in each room of your house? Does the dirt then just go into the wall? Is there a filter you have to clean out?
Totally agree! I love it as well. I can't believe all houses don't have a central vac system. If I were to do it all over again, I'd install that in a blink.
@@SusanForeman1963 lol yes. I believe they had a container that collected the dirt in the basement. I never had to do anything with it, so I’m not sure how often they emptied it. I’ve only seen one other house with this tech, but I’ve seen it in old MCM magazines, etc.
I have a 1950’s house in NZ. In my kitchen under the bench (counter) i have a pull out chopping board/wooden shelf. So handy to have the extra bench space
More 1940s 50s 60s 70s & 80s mukbang cooking please
I agrre with the plate warmers. Since i saw your stove a year ago, im trying to find one like that [in Texas😅]
That was fun. Thanks.
Hey, I’ve been watching a fair few of your videos and have noticed your bioethanol fireplace a couple of times.
I’ve recently bought my first house (it was quite a stressful, lack of money situation like yours actually), but the old Victorian fireplaces can’t be used due to a large slab of concrete in the chimney.
I was wondering how I would go about transforming these old fireplaces into bioethanol fireplaces. Do I need to have anything installed, or can I just construct a bioethanol fireplace in my already existing one? Thank you! 🔥✨

Oo I want pigeons x
I own an old house has well, I have named her in french, la vielle dame! just get enough of charm and uniqueness!
I grew up in a house built in 1898 which had no alterations at all after the 1920s when electricity and central heating was put in, but it was built for a multimillionaire so it was pretty luxurious even by the standards of today. The only problem was it was designed for a staff of 6 full-time servants and we only had a cleaner and an au pair
My house was built in the 1960s but is very unique inthat it doesn't look boxy like other 1960s homes as The front it triangular. My front bedroom has a port hole window where I display my Victorian ceramic jug and bowl set, my kitchen has red and yellow terrazzo checkered tile flooring, our fireplace is bult in the corner of the living room instead of against a flat wall and the chimney goes through the centre of the house and so on the landing above you can feel the warmth of the fire through the brick, it is also a cast-iron open fire but has a gas line fitted so we can turn it on with a switch. Just a few things I love about my house, but when I get my own place separate from my parents I want a Victorian terrace house!!!
I grew up in a House with a bathroom off the kitchen a cooker that looks like yours an outside toilet , open fire in the living room and our view was the local park
In all Victorian homes the stairs are off kitchen and led to the maids quarters.I love Victorian homes!
My bathroom is under the stairs, fine for us girls but my daughter's boyfriend at 6'3" not so much. ❤
My flat is a converted basement. No gas, so have to rely on a electric water heater. Not sure whether it's because it's in the basement or because it's an electric heater, but the water pressure is very good - so would really miss the shower were I ever to move!
I couldn't live without my fireplace and wood burning fire. I may have lift in my house that because only way to get upstairs I couldn't live without it. I am paralysed. But I have lot victorian dresses and skirt etc though

I love your channel 🩷
Thank you so much! ❤
A lot of dish washer have a plate warmer setting on them
First it was a 1920 house now it's a 1940 house??
The house itself is from the 20's, but Hannah's style is mainly of the 40's, making it kind of a 40's house built in the 20's, and it's 2024, almost 2025.
