    Your commentary is hands down the best I've ever heard! I already thoroughly enjoy old home restorations (so long as they're not designed to look like a sterilized institution). But your commentary put this series at the top of my list of best ever. You had me giggling from beginning to end. Well done! I am now a loyal subscriber. Your joy is just what I needed...

      @DuncombeHouseDiaries there's more to a person than their looks. I have no idea what you look like. And honestly it doesn't matter. What I do find extremely interesting is your ability to do these voice overs and the humor that goes with it. That being said, I'd definitely back a TV series if I were able to do so.
      The other thing is the history that goes with the place.
      Most of the places here in the states only goes back a couple hundred yrs if that. Society in general has adapted the theory that if things are old we need to toss them and go get the newest and the best there is.
      Hope you enjoy your weekend. Can't wait to see more of your videos. 👍👍👍

    This place is so beautiful and amazing! I’ve actually taken several screenshots of the place because my husband and I have just bought our first property and we are eventually planning to build a house. I’ve been in love with the English countryside since I was a little girl and both of us are in love with historical architecture. I want to build a place that looks like this in our own corner of the world. I want to mix the beautiful architecture with some of our modern living conveniences. (But not look modern❤ (P.S. I live in the U.S.!) I really love seeing people restore places like this! I don’t want them to disappear! Some day I plan to visit the English countryside!
