Step back in time and explore the enchanting 600-year-old English countryside home of Genevieve Harris, located in the picturesque countryside of East Sussex.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com
Originally from Canada, Genevieve's journey led her to this historic home, where her family has resided for the past six years. With a background in fashion and a passion for design, Genevieve embarked on a major restoration project to restore the classic English cottage-style home to its former glory.
As we wander through the charming interiors, we'll uncover tales of centuries past, including folklore that suggests King Henry VIII himself once stayed in the home. Every corner of Genevieve's home exudes a sense of history and timeless elegance. Enjoy!

A proper, proper home. It has been a long time since I have seen a home like this. No gimicks. No one is trying to keep up with the Jones's or the neighbours. I love this particular brand of confidence.

@jenniferlynn3537 5 месяцев назад

It all boils down to the bones of the house. With architecture like this, there’s no need to incorporate anything gimmicky, as it would only detract from the home’s provenance. This house has character and charm already built into it: Inverness fireplaces, diamond leaded glass, arrowhead windows, wide plank and brick floors, heavy oak beams, a centuries-old larder, a chimney that meanders up a two- story height room…. The list goes on and on. What I appreciate most is that the owners stayed true to the historic origins of the home. Rather than the decor “making” the home (or trying to compensate for poor design) it accentuates the pre-existing design elements. They avoided the pitfall of incorporating too-modern pieces which would be apt to compete with the nature of the building; choosing instead to create a cohesive design atmosphere. Because they made sound choices, what they’ve incorporated enhances the inherent beauty of the structure - making a strong statement while allowing everything to shine.

I love Genevieve, her family home and her overall style. She is true to herself, no "trendy" influence.

@amandawoods4051 6 месяцев назад

One of the rare homes on homeworthy, comfortable, functional and beautiful but above all meaningful with not an horrific trend in sight

@HazelSecker 6 месяцев назад

Couldn't agree more.....I hate fashions and trends plus over contrived interiors that have been usually "done" by an interior designer.

@vintagegal541 6 месяцев назад

I have noticed that about Homeworthy lately. So many of the homes cookie cutter from the last home. In fact, if the video features a house like that, I don't watch the video. This home is so unique and comfortable. No trendy stuff and Genevieve is lovely and down to earth. I loved her figurine story of the gin and tonic. I also love the green that she used on the woodwork. It brightened the home up and, I think, it said "Thank you, Genevieve for making me cozier".

@natashadavies9569 6 месяцев назад

I love this house, am both envious and delighted for her. Especially delighted because she and her husband saved it. Those saying there are no trends are just not attuned to English upper middle class taste: there's Delft tiles, pooky wall brackets, ginger jar lamps, gathered lampshades, green window frames, mismatched chinz, even the sofa shape.That's all from the first seven bit minutes.

@Darrenski 6 месяцев назад

In England old (what we call 'listed' buildings) can't be messed around with. Everything, window frames, all the fixtures etc have to be period, unless it's an absolutely essential repair and there is simply no other way of doing it, and even then you have to apply for permission. And if you just go ahead and do it anyway they will just come and rip all your work down then bill you for it. But old houses and buildings have to be maintained and repaired with period materials and techniques. It's simply to preserve the character of England, and more countries should do it. So many beautiful homes abroad have been ruined by 'one' utterly tasteless owner.

@alexandra2jerry 6 месяцев назад

What a marvelous change from the impeccably upholstered and polished homes we so often get. This truly is a home in every sense of the word. As Genevieve herself said, nothing is too precious that puts you ill at ease. I truly felt I could walk in and plop down, kick my shoes off and feel 100% relaxed. It is as she planned it, warm, inviting and oh so cozy. Well done Genevieve! 💕👏💕👏💕

@Laura-g1c1l 4 месяца назад

This is my most favourite Homeworthy home ever! Not "done" , just lovingly & perfectly put together. Relaxed, and elegant, yet so very livable. One of the few homes on this channel that has zero pretense. Love every inch of it. Finally a home where you don't need buckets of cash, nor a designer on speed dial to get the look.

@kimmyz 6 месяцев назад

One of my favorite homes that I've seen on Homeworthy. Love your decorating style and the fact that you kept everything in the period style rather than making it look modern inside. Fantastic job of bringing this gem back to life!

Bottom line - I LOVE when people *physically live their affinities. There's a vitality, flow, and happiness that is unmistakable. Love the soft green on the entry door, and the understated, low key surface presentation, generally. The house was cleaned and restored smartly, tenderly - keeping and honoring all idiosyncrasies. Genevieve is very alive and self-honoring, and her home reflects her depths and enthusiasms with same consistency. A good life.

I’ve never been attracted to these sort of old houses, finding them oppressive & dark but I’m now a convert. This a truly soulful, inviting home. Brilliant job Genevieve!

I'm in a big, dirty northern city, but 2 mins after you leave the urban sprawl you're into miles and miles of thatched cottages and jaw dropping scenery, and this is an industrial part of the country. I could never live anywhere other than England. To be born in England is to win the lottery of life, as 'they' say.

She spoke to my heart when she said how much she loved her knick knacks! My friends vilify me for them lol! Their utter distress at my eclectic "clutter" cracks me up lol. What a delightfully charming down to earth hostess! I cracked up laughing when she said her husband "told her off" about something she'd done, it was So cute. My English friend restored a farmhouse in the South of France, and he had the same sensibility of taste. Your home is so warm cozy and eclectic, just such a beautiful collection. I'm not a designer but I too have quite an eclectic home filled with metal, glass, porcelain, ceramics, wood, fabric and linens. Also I am African American so naturally I have several pieces of African art and wood sculptures. It's amazing how these things all mingle so well. I also collect English and Japanese tea sets. I'd like to think that my home also has a "soul" as she said. How quaint to put it like that, I never thought about that. I've been collecting from all the vintage and antique stores around me. I loved the way she emphasized how your home should reflect the inner You and should only be informed by magazine tastes. I loved this production, it's my favorite. The home and its Lady are really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

@susannegiesen2114 6 месяцев назад

How funny: When she explained her way of decoration and how she wants the house to be filled with the matching furniture to it etc. I thought maybe in a former life she must have been an english girl herself😉, because she did everything so beautiful and well. And then, later in the video, she tells us, that her mother and grandmother are english!! So she took in a lot from living with them😃 I really liked the tour of this cozy home! Blessings to her and her family and greetings from Germany 😊
