Just an addition: The Gate House is called Georgian cottage as you will find it on the Wolterton Hall website so it's not our invention or anything. It's why we use the term. We have lived for 7 1/2 years in the UK and have come across huge houses that are called cottages. We thought we would mention it in the comments so we don't have to reply to the individual comments. Thanks for understanding.
Oh of course! Alot of enormous castles are called "summer houses" in GB, even though they dwarf any decent sized French Chateau. The English have alwaus been fumny that way. I guess the word cottage denotes it was actually built as a permanent dwelling, perhaps for the caretaker originally. As opposed to pavillions, or (hunting) lodges etc. I just wouldn't think of it as a cottage, and "cottage core" culture and stylings would look very out of place in this hoise with all it's stately architectural features. Nice to see the pwners didn't impose twee prints and florals everywhere and were sensitive to the original addimg some modernity that will remain tasteful in the long haul.
Many cultures celebrate each other. But it is noticeable that the English mostly admire the English... Example - the rarely explore other languages.. .lol.
Kristen I look forward to everything you post. I’m an illustrator and former high end custom frame shop owner in New York State USA Now retired. I don’t travel much and often have cabin fever. Your videos satiate my love of specialty shopping/ treasure hunting, love of discovering small towns/ villages, good food, art/decorative arts and architecture. The cottage above beyond charming. I’m sure you dream of redoing every room in your style before drifting off to sleep. I’d move into that magical space in a New York minute. Adore. Thank you for sharing. You have gotten me through end of lockdown and fixed income blues. You and Jorge are adorable. I wish we were friends/ neighbors..
Not sure where in NY you are, but if you are near the Catskills, do go to Hobart NY. The Bull and Garland is a wonderful English Pub and B&B. The whole town is full of niche used bookstores and there is the Sheep’s Nest gift shop down the road. 🥰
This house has it all ! It has history and the architecture is great . It looks comfortable and a more manageable home to keep up . I would love to live in a house like that one .
I love the simplicity of the first sitting room. That Persian rug was gorgeous. Love the delft tiles in the bedroom. The whole cottage is well-appointed.
So glad you like it! As mentioned it's not ours, we live in a Victorian terraced house and this gorgeous house is a wonderful holiday accommodation where everyone can stay.
This cottage has your name written all over it. I can imagine you two sitting in the garden, or preparing your meals in the kitchen, Jörg reading by the fireplace.. May your dream come true and one day you become tenants of a similar cottage. 😊
Once more I'm transported to another time and am in heaven.! The views of the fields with sheep are just so serene and exactly what the soul needs sometimes. I will dream of this courage ❤
Oh my ! This is the house of my dreams. Definitely not what I would call a cottage. With all those bedrooms, bathrooms and glorious kitchen a family could easily live there. Thanks for taking us along. Love the drone footage....beautiful countryside. ❤
That is the cottage of my dreams, too, it’s perfect! I love Georgian architecture, called Neoclassical here if in the US, but no one ever did it better than the English! My dream home would be something like a modest Georgian vicarage, with, say, four bedrooms. Nothing huge, but bigger than the little cottage I live in now. Georgian design and high ceilings are the must-haves. How dignified this little house looks, the front columns give it a stately feeling.
When I saw the title of this I thought you bought a new house! It is beautiful and suits you so well. Maybe someday you'll find something like it that just needs your personal tender loving care! Thank you for the great tour!!
lol this is a tiny part of the entire country, there are a few areas in the entire UK where you can find beautiful homes like this one, the rest is chav city
STUNNING architecture - ✅. BEAUTIFUL panneling and moldings - ✅. GORGEOUS high ceilings ✅. CLASSIC interior paint colors - ✅. SIMPLE yet elegant curtains - ✅. SERENE garden - ✅. PETITE and UNPRETENTIOUS yet attention to detail everywhere - ✅. There is NOTHING not to love about the Gate House and its garden at Wolterton Park. I'm with you Kirsten and would move in immediately. Thank you K&J for yet another Vlog that is a feast for the eyes!✅
I was losing hope that there would be a room in a different color but when I saw the 2nd bedroom in that perfect Haymarket color it just took my breath away! Thank you, thank you for showing us this magical "Cottage" !!
The person(s) who build this fine place, and the situation on the corner, knew what they were doing. I must agree, it is a perfect situation. The large, but warm featured bathrooms are nice for staying in a bit, and relaxing all the way to the desk. No rushing out of the bathroom for me. This was a classic video....marvelous indeed. Thank you both. Be safe, and love.
Oh this is not our house I'm afraid. As we mentioned we live in a Victorian terraced house and this is a holiday accommodation where everyone can stay and we linked it in the info box.
Liebe Kirsten und lieber Joerg, wie immer ein wunderschönes Video und ich kann Kirsten nur zustimmen...perfekte Größe und perfekte Proportionen, eingerichtet mit Sorgfalt und Geschmack. Dekoriert, aber nicht zugestellt. Eine Wohltat für Auge und Seele ❤
Wundervolles Haus, sehr geschmackvoll gestaltet. Ich würde Fernseher und Co. in einem doppelflügeligen Schrank verstauen und nur bei Nutzung öffnen☺️, sonst wäre er "hidden". Danke für die Ausführung 😊
Great tour. I love all the colours and decor, simple ,clean lines and not too fussy I would love a house like that and the sheep in the back is a bonus! Another beautiful video 🇨🇦❤️
I had been wondering what would be the perfect house for you guys :). One bit though is I see you guys in your perfect house/cottage, but then with a serene stroll to a beautiful village too ... does this have one you could stroll to? Wonderful job on your home renovations.... gorgeous.
This is a lovely home and has such a peaceful feeling to it....warm, welcoming but not overpowering in size. I must add that your home in Chesire has that same wonderful feeling that I believe is emitting from the occupants! BLESS YOU BOTH 😊
Wunderschön! Das wäre auch mein Traumhaus! Ein herzliches Dankeschön an euch Beide, das ihr eure Erlebnisse mit uns teilt. Liebe Grüsse aus Österreich.☺
A stunning property and the main attraction was your love of the home and interiors it just flowed out of you and through the camera. There is something so charming about Georgian homes and yet so very elegant. What puts your channel so far above the rest in this genre is not only your and Joerg beautiful photography, history content and decor information but you have the unique ability to be happily together yet include us in your travels with a feeling of friendship toward us your viewers. In Greek. Philoxenia (hospitality) -literally translated as “friend to the stranger”. You are the Host and Hostess of warmth and welcome.
Thank you for taking us to this sweet cottage! I loved the two of you enjoying the fire in the sitting room toward the end of the video, you both are adorable!
I can understand you two loving that house! It's kept its period charm, while incorporating modern plumbing and fixtures - the best of both worlds. Thamks for the tour!
You are a precious and special couple. I really consider your video work as a ministry to so many people. Thank you for taking us on these wonderful adventures!
What a gorgeous cottage!! I can see why you or anyone would love to live there. I like that each room had a different color and thank you for sharing the colors with us.
I am more then happy you talk about the paint colors..it's sooooo frustrating to watch these tours and fall in love with a wall color and not know it's name...kudos to you..keep it coming!! Thank you thank you!!!
Lovely! I really admire how passionate you are about living beautifully and peacefully. I'm thinking of one day moving to the UK and you have inspired me
As soon as I heard you say the garden was similar to your garden in germany, I thought you must really like it at this house and wondered if there was a possibility of you moving. Then I heard you both say how much you liked it at the end of your video. It would be lovely for your viewers if you and joerg moved into a home like that and redid it. 😊
Thank you ! It really is a place that looks a lot like the two of you! A warm, spacious home with light and little angels on the windows! The garden and the silence as well as the peaceful atmosphere complete the idea that you two really feel like a dream of your own. Thank you for inviting us there today, again all blessings for you , Irene 🪷🙏
Hello Kirsten,I love this house .Georgian is my favourite style too and I love the stripy sofa it looks so comfortable.Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have Christmas in that gorgeous room with the lovely fire .I can imagine a beautiful tre in there the fire on and snowing outside.The garden is pretty too.Thank you for sharing this it was lovely xx
I’m so glad that you made it to North Norfolk at last! We stayed at Wolterton Hall a few years ago and now live just 5 miles away. Wolterton Hall and its grounds are beautiful and have been wonderfully restored by the current owners. They have impeccable and sympathetic taste and that really shows in your holiday cottage. Can’t wait for the next video! X
What a beautiful dwelling. I love symmetry, high ceilings, tall windows, classic Georgian style. Only thing I would change is to have more ivory and white walls rather than grey tones. I do like the blues, new lime, and even the Haymarket upstairs. Love it! 💗
I'm so happy to see your faces and watch another video! You both help keep the UK a lot closer. Was just missing my closest friend from London recently. Your video is a blessing. Thank you! - MB
I can totally see you two living in this fantastic, beautiful little house. It really is the perfect size. I also love the wooden paneling. Such great colors, too. In America, we would call the little down stairs half bath, a "powder room." Thank you for sharing. It was so lovely 😍
I agree, this is a beautiful cottage "estate"! I can see both you and Joerg living here and appreciating all the beautiful details. Thank you for sharing!
Very beautiful place. All the room's are so amazing. It's such a beautiful place and so tranquil. Quiet sounds so good. Great to see you both again. Have a wonderful day.
You two are quite literally living my dream! This house is absolute perfect, I wouldn't mind spending 3 nights (well, even 3 years) in there! I'm german too but have both lived and studied in London and Dublin plus I have traveled a lot around the UK, just to get a feel for where I'd like to live one day (the sooner the better - fingers crossed). So glad I found your channel! Lots of love und liebe Grüße aus Trier, Deutschland x
You're right, this is the perfect cottage. I love the kitchen, especially the plate rack. The tubs in the baths are lovely. There are just so many things that I adore about this place. Thank you for the tour.
So ein schönes Haus! Ich bekomme Lust auf Farbe und habe Lust, mal wieder zu streichen! :) Mir gefällt gerade, dass die antiken und modernen Elemente ineinanderfließen, sie ergänzen sich wunderbar. Die Gestaltung ist noch immer schlicht, was ich sehr sehr schön finde. Das ist ein sehr inspirierendes Video. So schön, was ihr beide alles gemeinsam erlebt.
Just wonderful, everything about it, including the sheep. I appreciate all the info you tell us about the places you stay. Wisteria brings back fond memories, my brother had horses, there was a path thru the woods to the pasture. Wisteria grew up the trees on both sides, it was the most intoxicating scent the entire way.
@@KirstenJoerg There's a myth in my opinion over here that it will damage the house. I say, tell that to all those in Europe with it all over their homes.
I agree, this house would be perfect for you, especially with all your lovely things in it!!❤ And the garden is gorgeous, can only imagine how beautiful it will be in summer. What a shame it's not for sale!
Thank you for such a lovely tour. What a gorgeous cottage and I love each detail. I especially love the wall colors--I'm always drawn to green so Mylands 'New Lime,' was my favorite but the blues were a close second. Thank you for mentioning the colors and makers/names of the paints, fabrics, etc., used throughout the house. I think it is the cottage of my dreams, too. Greetings from Marlborough in Massachusetts!
Hi again...Kirsten and Joerg...you both have such inner joy it shines out of you. What fun to be able to stay in all of these wonderful spots.. to enjoy them even for a short period of time. Don't ever change.
Una cabaña de ensueño. Encantadora y Bellísima. Magnífica la decoración, los tapetes, las chimeneas Está hecha para descansar, relajarse y disfrutar Es una mansión a pequeña escala. Saludos cordiales desde Colombia 🇻🇪
The paneling is what we have here in the states in historical towns. We are actually adding it to our 18th century log cabin we are building. This is a perfectly made cottage, you have such a beautiful eye for picking out the most beautiful places to share with us! ❤
I love England. I’ve visited, but only London and closer countryside. It’s beautiful and there is nothing like an English garden and stone houses. Just lovely! You do a beautiful job showcasing the property. Well done!
What a perfect jewel of a house Kirsten and Joerg. I love the delft tiled fireplace in the bedroom, but that’s no surprise being Dutch lol. I’d love to see a floor plan of the layout, the rooms are so elegant, so typically Georgian. It’s actually quite a substantial gate house as they were usually quite humble inside, though with a grand exterior impression. Ineke.
Another amazing cottage indeed! 😍 And you don’t need to apologize for sharing the wall color names! We get to learn so much from you and this channel thanks to details like that, so please continue! Many thanks for another lovely video! 🙏🏻
Love watching all your videos I wanted to visit Germany when my husband retired but became disabled. My husband was stationed at Rein mine Airforce base in the early 70s and wanted to show me the country . Keep showing all the great videos they let me travel with you and I love them God bless you both.from Washington state in the usa
It's really is a Beautiful Cottage! I love the sides of the Bathrooms !and every room have a fireplace. the garden is gorgeous and Thank you two for sharing it with us
Kirsten, I'm so impressed by your knowledge of the different periods and styles. I really try hard to keep as much in my mind as possible. However, it's not that easy, so please visit at least 100 further spots, so that I can learn by watching....thank you so much, you both for sharing this with us....❤
What a beautiful Georgian house and grounds! My favorite architecture for sure. And many thanks for sharing the paint colors and fabrics and agree many want to know for inspiration. I hope one day you both find your dream Georgian cottage full of roses in the garden.
I can imagine you & Joerg living in that style house, you would have a blast decorating it throughout. It’s a beautiful house, Georgian style is very elegant & I agree the panelling just adds to the elegance. Thank you for sharing, maybe one day you will own a house like that…😊
WOW! Now this cottage is one of my all time favorite places you have stayed! Magical! I nearly cried at how wonderful it would be to own such a lovely home and property. The decor is perfect, cozy, nicely sized rooms, modern with an old world feel, breathtaking views, a sense of quietude and serenity. I would live so very happily in such a gorgeous home. I would, however, put in a nice audio system so I could listen to my music and of course, some way I could still watch all your videos ! I did wonder what type of heating system it had? ...Central heating/cooling would be a gift! Thank you for showing me this absolutely stunning cottage.....🐞🌺🏫 I go now to cry....boo hooo....lol
ATEMBERAUBEND, UNGLAUBLICH, das ist wirklich ein außergewöhnlich geräumiges Gebäude, und so charmant. Alles in allem ein Traum.....viele Grüße und ein riesengroßes Dankeschön fürs Zeigen. Am 17. Mai geht's los, dann betrete ich zum allerersten Mal englischen Boden....... Eure Michaela
