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.
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.
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.
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 😭😭😭
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.
like Gely said free content and free marketing but also yes, takes AGES to sell these properties this one has been on sale since early-mid 2023 and i cant find any evidence of it being sold yet
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.) :)
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
This is my dream house 🏠 ❤. This is the best house on earth and if i had money I’ll probably bye this house I mean the craftsmanship in this house is so spectacular and amazing. This house is truly a masterpiece.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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.
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
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.
There is only a single tapestry in the Tapestry Room. A mansion that expensive, and there is an entire room focused around a single art piece. Let that sink in. That's how valuable tapestries can be.
At about $94 million, it'd take a billionaire to buy and maintain this place. The taxes alone would be several million a year, not to mention the monthly cost for utilities and staff. But still, it's nice to dream. And buy Lotto tickets...
