All it would take is money & a healthy body, both of which I have none of😢! Know how & determination would also be helpful but they too have deserted the ship😮! So watch it will be😊...
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... signed, an unfortunate American.
Absolutely nothing unfortunate about American whatsoever! Your kind words are truly appreciated and we very much look forward to having you along on our journey
@@DuncombeHouseDiaries dear fellow compadre (from another shellshocked American). Thank goodness for channels and people like this. I am sending you a hug. We will get through it through careful denial and finding Joy wherever we can find or create it. Bless the whole world, and us, somehow! 🤕💛😊
@@Ionabrodie69 Ha. I know. Although this house was standing before America was officially America so I call it our English house. It was built even before my native country of Australia was established.
Been there and done that (including my husband's cancer diagnosis right in the middle of things). I'm 78 now, too old to begin another monumental project, but knowing that a forlorn house in need of love (and full of treasures besides!) is being brought back to life thrills me still. How I envy you and the journey upon which you are about to embark. Your sense of humor will surely see you through. Cheers from a kindred spirit in America.
Oh my gracious! What an absolutely lovely introduction to your home renovation journey. You just showed up on my screen and I am simply delighted! I so look forward to following your adventures.
What fun! So pleased you popped up on my screen this morning. I can't wait to see another episode. Please include all of the above, especially Quincy 😀👋
Holy cow! I literally just ran across your RUclips channel by sheer dumb luck! I love everything I see especially the dog who is clearly giving it all she's got!😂 Your sense of humor seriously cracks me the heck up! Of all the talents that you will need while working on your new home, your sense of humor will be the most valuable of all! You have a new subscriber in me! Greetings from the good ol USA!🇺🇲
Totally awesome page. Hope it grows faster than you realize it would. Honestly this should be a series on the TV. It'd put 99% of the current shows to shame. Plus who wouldn't enjoy Quincy every week or a couple times a week. 👍👍👍
@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. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much Lonnie I couldn’t agree with your sentiments more. Our latest episode just went live EP 2: Merry Christmas, do let us know what you think 🎄😊
More Quincy!!!! 👏 And your lovely sarcastic comments 😂 It always brings joy. Interior design and the local history is also always such fun! Looking forward to next video.
Love, love, love Quincy! The rest of you lot seem to be adequate also. I will definitely be keeping a watchful eye on the future episodes coming from Duncombe House Diaries! You have my gratitude for bringing this “series” to RUclips! ULOL. (Uncontrollable laughter out loud) Illinois USA😂
I have passed your adoration on to Quincy and she agrees that she is fantastic and that the rest of us are merely adequate. I must admit ULOL is a new one to me, but I'm exceptionally pleased to have made you ULOL'd. Your support all the way from Illinois is quite wonderful, we appreciate it very much.
I hopped on over from Instagram. Sooo happy to have longer videos. I am living my dream of living in a lovely english country cottage vicariously through you!❤
Well, you are most welcome to live vicariously at Duncombe House although I must warn you that it's a touch cold and dark there at the moment, you may wish to wait until April until you commit fully to the vicarious relocation. Thank you so much for following us over to the RUclips we very much appreciate it.
Having retired from doing a series of houses over Im thrilled at the prospect of watching someone else do the work whilst I tend to my knitting ❤ The sauciness makes it all the better.😂
Brilliant! I absolutely love it! I can't wait to follow along on this magical journey. The estate is gorgeous, the music is perfect, and the sarcasm and humor are delicious. Thanks for inviting us into your world!
It's not sarcasm .... It's the traditional British sense of humour and wit ❣️ I miss it and I love it ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ your channel. Thank you RUclips for this recommendation 🎉
I love your sense of humor it truly value both the restoration of history and enormou$$$$ commitment...time, blood, sweat, tears, and expense....but I pray it's a process that ends in far more good memories, that ALL bad ones end up being laughed about later, and that you see growth in your character and relationships with one another.
Im so thrilled to have found your slightly bonkers video in my YT feed. Loved every second of it. Have Subscribed and turned on the notifications so i dont miss a single story. Whatever and whenever you post will be awesome. Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿 🎉💚🌏💚
Oh yes! Your videos about every aspect of the restoration would be most welcome. Show n tell with bits n bobs, actual hard work of destroying and rebuilding, the garden coming to life once again, the history is always important, exciting discoveries and of course, Quincy being helpful. Oh and don’t forget the supporting cast of characters. Love it. 🇦🇺
A very warm welcome, although no doubt you are warm enough at the moment considering it's December in Australia. It's delightful to have you here your positivity and support are terribly nourishing. TT FN.
I just couldn't resist subscribing - what a huge amount of work you will need to put in to renovate, and last but not least: Quincy is just gorgeous! 💕
So many renovation stories are popping up on RUclips that I almost skipped over yours. It was your humor and plucky delivery that made me hit the subscribe button. Good Luck!
I knew from the beautiful start to this channel that I was going to love it. It’s gonna be such an exciting watch. Love the humour and going to love all the ‘finds’ an old house gives up. Can’t wait to come on that journey with you from my living room whilst staying warm. Hope you you make a full recovery ❤
Hurray for the captivating little money pit! Your wit is perfection, the house is delectable, the treasures are exciting and the history is captivating! You asked what we wanted more of? All of it. We want it all. GAAAAHHHHH!
Gosh Sharia we certainly can't ask for more glowing feedback than that! Thank you ever so much for joining us here on our channel. It's splendid to have you along for the ride.
This is allready my favourite thing to watch and hear. We live in an old farmhouse in Holland for nearly 40 years now and it's also an ongoing project. But I would not want to miss it. Lots of luck to you all.
I want it all! I cannot wait to watch this journey. Quincey will undoubtedly be the best part. ❤ goldens, they are so worthless, we cannot live without them.
Well, Barb, talk about heaping on the pressure, we will do our upmost to make sure that becomes a reality. You are more than welcome thank you so much for joining us on the RUclips and supporting our renovation.
How lovely you express yourself about your newly acquired "estate". So many opportunities for creativity and craftsmanship, expertise, and renovation and building skills.
Love this! Took a while for me to realise your strimmer that wasn’t doing a very good job in my opinion was in fact a metal detector!! This is real fun entertainment, am here for the duration!😊
I want more of all of it, but especially the humor. I mean, this is kind of my dream channel. Hilarious commentary AND a beautiful, English cottage? 😮 Yes, please.
❤your humour...... 🎉for making me smile Wishing you both all the very best for your channel, health, happiness and prosperity. I think you will have many followers. You won me over in a few mins....a record for me. Looking forward to the rest of your adventure.
Thank you so much, Clare, I think we should focus on quality over quantity, don't you ha ha? It's jolly good to hear how much you enjoy our peculiar little lives at Duncombe House, the fun has certainly only just begun. TTFN.
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! It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. It’s so comforting! ❤
Subscribed - and clicked the bell of course - before even starting the video. Not even two minutes in and you already made me laugh out loud multiple times. Thank you so much for your brilliantly narrated content about your lovely home! Lots of love from Hamburg
10 points to Linda, thank you ever so much for your kind words. As long as we are putting smiles on faces, then we are doing something right. Jolly good having you with us all the way from Hamburg. Keep posted as we have some very interesting German related content coming up in the New Year!
Was für ein besonderer Fund ist dieses einzigartige Haus...ich liebe es! Die Arbeit an alten Häusern die so besonders sind liebe ich auch persönlich..❤
This sounds like a wonderful channel to subscribe to. Thank you for all your humor. I look forward to seeing all of your improvements and wish you all the best. Take care, DA (Vancouver, WA - USA)
Your commentary is delightful and had me smiling right off the bat. I do think I would collapse in a heap if I took on such an immensely challenging renovation myself. However, I applaud your enthusiasm and will feel quite proud of myself as I watch you work in my stead! Cheers!
So delightfully English! Cheers from an Englishman's granddaughter who lives in a 94 year-old "Spanish Eclectic Revival" house in California, and has inherited a lot of interesting historical items as well. Lots of work to do as well, though it's too dry here for 'ceiling mushrooms'. Gah! Tea this afternoon is Darjeeling.
@@SpanishEclectic I envy your low levels of ambient humidity! Darjeeling is a delightfully delicate choice, I hope you enjoy and many thanks for joining us
Your sweet, funny, and acerbic wit are thoroughly enjoyable. I hope these qualities have also been seeing you through a pretty bumpy ride of reno and rehab!
I usually get sarcastic, facetious and mildly irritating so I take your comment with the warmest of thanks! I find that if one takes oneself too seriously very Little ever gets done. It's jolly good to have you here with us thank you for your support.!
This has been the most entertaining house-reno-intro-narration I have heard yet.
@@AdamUnpronounceable well what a fantastic endorsement, you’re awfully kind Adam thankyou for joining us!
Ditto to your comment hence why I subscribed hope they keep it up.
It's absolutely delightful!
@@alexandercampbell963 we will absolutely do our best! 😊
I'm quite enjoying the narrative as well. I just love this home. The greenhouse flooring is beautiful.
Haha, hurrah. Another fabulous channel for me to follow rather than actually doing any renovation myself, 😊
Well Vicki, apologies if we pose somewhat of a distraction but selfishly, it's fantastic to have you here sharing our journey.
Can you watch it while doing renovations?
All it would take is money & a healthy body, both of which I have none of😢! Know how & determination would also be helpful but they too have deserted the ship😮! So watch it will be😊...
Welcome to The RUclips ! What a brilliant first video, undoubtedly with more brilliance to come. Can't wait 👏👍😁🏡
@ jolly kind of you many thanks Nicola
This is the most unhinged, dryly sarcastic audio which led to my smudgy fingers hammering the subscription button immediately.

There are many home renovation channels, but I have never watched one with more hilarious audio! Keep up the amazing work!

Wishing you both all the very best for your channel, health, happiness and prosperity. I think you will have many followers. You won me over in a few mins....a record for me. Looking forward to the rest of your adventure.
Thank you so much, Clare, I think we should focus on quality over quantity, don't you ha ha? It's jolly good to hear how much you enjoy our peculiar little lives at Duncombe House, the fun has certainly only just begun. TTFN.
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! It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. It’s so comforting! ❤
Thank you so much! Have a lovely 2025 your plans sound very exciting 🇺🇸 😊
This is the best introduction I’ve seen. Hilarious I’ve been giggling whilst sipping my hot cup of Earl Grey 😂 Can’t wait for the next video!
Jolly kind of you Nia, enjoy your tea (my favourite) and welcome to the DHD family
thank you. I can't wait for it to come all together

Love your narration style. I'd love to see all the weird things you find :)
@@Skyehopper612 well we have weird things in abundance so you’re certainly in the right place. Welcome to the mad house 😊
Subscribed - and clicked the bell of course - before even starting the video. Not even two minutes in and you already made me laugh out loud multiple times. Thank you so much for your brilliantly narrated content about your lovely home! Lots of love from Hamburg
10 points to Linda, thank you ever so much for your kind words. As long as we are putting smiles on faces, then we are doing something right. Jolly good having you with us all the way from Hamburg. Keep posted as we have some very interesting German related content coming up in the New Year!
Love it all! Greetings from sunny Cape Town 🇿🇦
Well, it's lovely to hear your kind words all the way from sunny SA. Thank you so much for joining us.
Was für ein besonderer Fund ist dieses einzigartige Haus...ich liebe es! Die Arbeit an alten Häusern die so besonders sind liebe ich auch persönlich..❤
Welcome and thank you Anja 😄
This sounds like a wonderful channel to subscribe to. Thank you for all your humor. I look forward to seeing all of your improvements and wish you all the best. Take care, DA (Vancouver, WA - USA)
Thank you ever so much for joining us all the way from Vancouver Donald, if only we were being funny intentionally 🤣
Your commentary is delightful and had me smiling right off the bat. I do think I would collapse in a heap if I took on such an immensely challenging renovation myself. However, I applaud your enthusiasm and will feel quite proud of myself as I watch you work in my stead! Cheers!
And so you should!! If it’s half as tiring watching us as it is being us then you must be exhausted. Thankyou ever so much for joining us at DHD
So delightfully English! Cheers from an Englishman's granddaughter who lives in a 94 year-old "Spanish Eclectic Revival" house in California, and has inherited a lot of interesting historical items as well. Lots of work to do as well, though it's too dry here for 'ceiling mushrooms'. Gah! Tea this afternoon is Darjeeling.
@@SpanishEclectic I envy your low levels of ambient humidity! Darjeeling is a delightfully delicate choice, I hope you enjoy and many thanks for joining us
I have just found your channel and l love it and your wonderful commentary. Can't wait to follow all your episodes!
Thank you so very much Jabirujo! Have you seen our latest long form video that went live yesterday? Plenty of festive updates 🎄😊
Your sweet, funny, and acerbic wit are thoroughly enjoyable. I hope these qualities have also been seeing you through a pretty bumpy ride of reno and rehab!
I usually get sarcastic, facetious and mildly irritating so I take your comment with the warmest of thanks! I find that if one takes oneself too seriously very Little ever gets done. It's jolly good to have you here with us thank you for your support.!
Absolutely brilliant 😂😂
