Stunning house. I loved the lavender plants that circled the fountain.
@lindamoore9405 Hi Linda! Isn't it fabulous ✨️ we were taken by surprise at just how it looked inside! As it was such a hot day the lavender [ and roses ] were so fragrant! Thanks for watching hope you have a great week all good wishes from us both 😀
Hi Neil and Ant, watched this one a couple of times now - love the look of the place and great to see the white dear in the field. Ceilings looked very artistic. Thank you for sharing this one, been enjoying it - hope you both have a great weekend - Don 🙂

@michaelw.8614 Hi Michael! We totally agree with you it is certainly a magnificent mansion... unique down to some of the contents and the fabulous ceilings! We hope you're having a good week and send best wishes from us both 😀
Opulent Indeed! Love all your videos, interesting as well.
@jenniferevans6334 Hi Jennifer! Thankyou so much! We really appreciate you watching and your lovely comments... Houghton is like a French Chateau inside... we were blown away by it! Compared to Houghton we've got a very different style house video going live tomorrow though incredibly interesting! Have a great weekend, sending you our very best wishes 😀

Beautiful place and gardens well done ❤
@@antsadventures149 Thankyou 🥰
Hi Neil and Ant we always love a house with beautiful ceilings and the ones here were so beautiful really setting off some gorgeous rooms. It really is grand here isn't it ❤. Imagine that some of the collection has been sold they must have been very extensive. Its good that this has escaped victorian remodeling. We saw the exhibition advertised when we were nearby last week and did wonder what it would be like. After watching this we will try to get over here sometime if we can as the house was so breathtaking and the gardens looked fantastic too. You must have took a lot of footage to use up your battery 😆 You looked very chilled outside the holiday home. Looks like you are having a fantastic time . Best wishes enjoy your day Dave and Dawn ❤
Hi Dave and Dawn! Thankyou for watching! I forgot to charge up properly 🙃 only realised when it turned off lol... sun was so bright couldn't actually see the screen! Houghton blew us away, never seen ceilings like them... although painted many look like mosaics! It was mega busy took half an hour queuing down the drive... but well worth it! Some stunning pieces in the house and super friendly staff... hope you're enjoying your week... all good wishes sent your way, Neil and Ant 😊
Wonderfull! Houghton Hall is really beautiful both inside & out! The interior & Rooms are just lovely with such ornately carved & beautifully painted ceilings, marvelous Art Work & magnificent ornately carved Fireplaces! The white colored Stone used inside the Hall is also really lovely & brings an appealing brightness to the interior wherever it's used. The Gardens are also very beautiful, with so many pretty flowers, trees & lush foliage. I also loved the wee round fountain surrounded with Plants in the one scene you filmed. That was so sweet! Above all, though, I really loved the White Deer you showed in the Grounds at the beginning there. They are just beautiful! I have never seen white deer before but they are the most beautiful deer I have ever seen. Somehow, they seem to suit the House perfectly & their being there on the grounds creates a perfect Picture. Thank you lads for sharing another delightful experience at the elegant & lovely Houghton Hall. Blessings to you both!🦌
@@Annie4Always Hi Annie! We were blessed with many beautiful houses to visit when we went to Norfolk but Houghton was possibly our favourite on this trip... there were many wow moments the biggest was in the white hall! The sheer size and beauty is just breathtaking... it was a very very hot day but inside the house with its marble floors and cool stone walls it felt very pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed the gardens too... possibly one of the largest walled gardens we've ever seen. As you say the white deer are amazing... almost magical in their setting. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and we send our fondest best wishes to you 😀
@@chrisisjustme7546 Aye Lads! 'Tis true! You really are blessed to be able to visit Houghton & all of the marvelous places you so kindly share with us! Thank you again! Wishing you both a great weekend as well! Toodle oo for now!
I think this has to be the most exotic & richly ornamented of any of the large houses I have ever viewed - every square inch is incredible. The ceilings particularly ornate. I can't say "wow I like it", because I much prefer a quieter mode of design, really why i generally love the Georgian era, but this Georgian house is off the wall ! What is does say to me is you could have done so much with that wealth, why this depository of opulence? Something very wrong to me in that - however you just have to admire all the gorgeousness of this place - so much gold detailing on everything it boggles the mind! You could not put a price on this place - just not possible. I do hope they have good fire protection in place!
@veronicaroach3667 Hi Veronica! Thankyou for watching and taking the time to comment... totally with you on all you say. We were having a similar conversation with one of the house stewards and they made an interesting comment that these estates were so remote that they usually provided employment for a huge number of people from a large radius from the property often with tied cottages etc, and that in such remote areas other than farming there would be little other employment opportunities. That said 200,000 in 1720 would be equivalent to several hundred million in todays money! We did enjoy seeing such a unique place... Best wishes to you from us both 😀
Greetings from North Carolina! Thanks for yet another enjoyable video.
@@markburris5746 Hi Mark! Thankyou so much, pleased you enjoyed it... it is wonderful that you're watching from North Carolina! We really enjoyed our visit, we were blown away by how grand Houghton is... Best wishes to you from us both 😀
una dimora veramente lussuosa
@@fabriziopastorino3792 Ciao Fabrizio! uno dei posti più lussuosi in cui siamo stati, di tanta bellezza! Grazie per aver guardato e commentato... Neil and Ant 😊
Been there to work on bracket mantel chiming clock and round dialled French grandfather clock in the eighties chemondeley request was for me to stop in the servants quarters for a month to repair all the time peace’s unable to fulfill madam’s request because I was technician horologes’ for several retail jewellers. Croydons of Ipswich the most enjoyable and proud employee I worked for superb best job had in my life.
@stephenoliver1437 Hi Stephen! Thank you for watching and commenting 😊 what an amazing story, you must have worked on some fabulous timepieces! To see a house like that when it is without the public in would also make it feel completely different we'd assume... How proud you must feel knowing you've contributed to keeping some of these amazing clocks going too... Best wishes Neil and Ant 😊
Believe me, the carpets are threadbare. If they love modern art so much, why don’t they commission young textile artists to replace them.
@macsmiffy2197 Hi! What a great idea... that would be a wonderful way to introduce new carpets to the house... Thanks for watching and commenting, best wishes to you 😊
Where did he get all that money?
@Mrrossj01 Hi! It is our understanding that Walpole, whilst prime minister for well over 20 years, was one of King Georges closest friends, infact he virtually took on the duties of king as well as Prime Minister, as George who barely spoke English having been born in Germany, did not want to do any kingly duties. This not only gave him access to the very wealthiest people in England and it also gave him access to some of the royal "purse"... his spending was lavish in the extreme... he spent almost £600 on clothes in one day alone... an inconceivable amount in those days! Without doubt some of the money he had access to for running the country may well have stayed in his own hands... 🤴
Is Cholmondley pronounced CHumley? English spellings are insane!
@kaloarepo288 Hi! Thankyou for watching and commenting! It is! A very unusual spelling compared to the pronunciation! The English aristocracy often have very unusual names... We loved looking around the house... Hope you have a great weekend, Best wishes from us both 😀
@@chrisisjustme7546 Just found out fairly recently that BEAUCHAMP is pronounced Beecham. Am an avid fan of British stately homes.
@kaloarepo288 thats another odd one! There's also The Duke of Buccleuch which is pronounced buck-loo! 😊
