George Clarke is the best host for this kind of show ever..He really gets what it is all about. But why any one would tolerate the jobsworths and grief of officialdom in the UK is the biggest wonder ever. It is not that in the end of thing they help save buildings and there has to thousands of them that have been lost to the stupidity and ignorance of so called 'planners'
I love the other architect better. Well both. Kieran and Paul.
The red tape here is wild when it comes to planning but it also helps to save the character of places as well. I think it is sad that planning takes so long and is difficult. But it prevents cases like one local to me where a very wealthy family bought a high victorian home and tore out all the crown moulding, floors and original parts to the house. But because they were "only" fines 200,000 they were fine with it.
@Timeisirrelevant Architectural Historians like myself care very much. They are disappearing extremely quickly, I didn't say your basic run of the mill Victorian did I? I said a High Vicotrian, a home of very specific Architectural design. The red tape is to prevent listed houses from becoming run of the mill new builds
That's all very well and understandable but they need to help people rather than be obstructive and waste time.@@lissaallan
@Neutronia1 I don't disagree but it isn't the job of the planners and council to help you keep a houses character. It is your job and your architects job. Unfortunately 1000's of people buy hones every year in a council and the council has to deal with that. Don't want the hassel buy a new house where everything was approved before it was built.
Glad that he left his job to be with his family - This orignally aired about 10 yrs. ago. Wonder if the family is still together now? They did a good job on reno - but why such a huge mansion for three people?
Thanks for a great show George. Love the brickwork on this conversion, when I saw the computer model I thought "what?? how ugly" but Jan has done an amazing job project managing, Mothering, her own business, and who knows what else.."wouldnt do project managing in a million years??" You've already done it Jan. And done it well!! But seriously if your hubby doesnt get out and walk and lose that gut he wont be around to enjoy it...he's a heart attack waiting to happen!! I hope you both have life insurance and the house is well insured..not meaning to be nasty but just stating a fact...I hope you all get to enjoy your dream home together....
600 thousand pounds ! I've got much more respect for that guy buying that church for 50 and renovating it into a gem with recycled stuff.. now that was amazing
I believe leaving a crying baby in the nursery causes a terrible pain in a parent’s heart. I still suffer remembering and it happened 50 years ago. Strength of this woman is incredible
They both typify what it means to be husband and wife. God bless them.
Beautiful family who look destined for success and happiness.
She looks a lot like the beautiful actress Diana Rigg!
They should have done the holiday lets first and lived in one while renovating the main house. They'd have had at least some extra income during the process.
Yes, good point. I think if they knew how financially difficult the project would be, they probably would have gone that route, hindsight is a fine thing.
who's going to want to rent a holiday on a building site?
@@simonlloyd7557 They would. And save the 700 quid a week rent. Plus saving loads of commuting time.
Lol, always by Christmas. Couple buys property Dec. 15 to renovate into a home. When do you plan on being in? Answer: by Christmas.
Yes! Get something habitable quickly so you aren't paying rent. I would have leased the acres and orchard as well for a bit of income.
Always by Christmas lol.
I’ve noticed that lmao
How about last Christmas that would be a novelty. 🤣🤣
totally love this series on you tube
I absolutely love this farm house, they did an amazing job. Love it. I've watched a fair amount of episodes thus far, and it sure does sound as though the planning commission needs to be investigated. They are borderline negligent in their efforts to work with their community. It appears as though ever episode all they seem to do is impose an incredible amount of grief and heart ache upon anyone who presents plans to the planning commission. Its like everyone walks away completely overwhelmed from their experience with the commission. let alone the money and time that they lose dealing with these dipsticks. Its like they purposely impose road blocks that make is extremely difficult for anyone. Folks must want to just pack it in and refuse and not want to proceed with their dreams for real. What stubborn incompetence and unprofessional these standards present to people. I do understand things should be built to safety standards and not to look like eyes sores but they go too bloody far with their stupid rules that have the time make no bloody sense. I've never seen anything like it before, in my entire life, Its borderlines insanity. There's got to be a simpler way, the system beyond broken. They need to find a way to work with folks in a more smoother more efficient manner that works for everyone ..The commission should have their own draftsmen work with the people to makes things work smoother because what their doing isn't working! holy shit...
Its intentionally designed that way. The longer the planning commission takes the more hoops and legal fees get added to the homeowners who are just trying to do the right thing. You are right it is negligent albeit intentional and it should be investigated and done away with. However, they don't make as much money for doing their jobs so they wont -_-
These petty little people in planning departments should be taken to task by some authority. These people are saving a part of the local history and should be helped. You see this time and time again and it's insane. If people are willing to take on these projects and save these old buildings then they should be supported every step of the way.
She is a superwoman 🦸♀️ so much respect!!!!! Well done !!!
You Tube comments aren't usually so negative. (I've been guilty of same, at times)
The thing is:
We're all just doing the very best we can with what we've got, every day. Life can be glorious, but also a very hard slog.
No one outside, of that person, can judiciously estimate what another person, or family, is actually dealing with.
This is so impressive. You did it all, you gave it your all and it is absolutely gorgeous. And you’ve made it together. Look what hard work, passion, and dedication to one another have given you. Now you are living a totally new life, together as a family. Living the dream. Way to go. Now enjoy :) I am happy for you.
Perfect example of too much generalized regulations applied to specific cases causing too much delay, too much overbuild, and ridiculous requirements.
Bravo to the family!!
The turnaround is lovely, but am I alone in thinking that it's really dark?
Wow! Congratulations to the proud couple!
These shows are a perfect example of how over regulation hurts people. They always end up having to fight through endless red tape and stupid bureaucracy that does nothing but cost more money. People who take these projects on are saints.
Heroes if you ask me!! bravo to them!!
I could not imagine myself dealing with English Heritage or the Conservation Trust on listed buildings. I, personally, think that such bodies are too intrusive as to what people are allowed to do with their home interiors thereby increasing stress and cost for the homeowners. These officials should show more consideration and gratitude to those who are willing and committed to saving listed buildings.
In the UK the planning regulations are a huge headache
No way could I do it, it is like they intentionally cost people a boat load of money, time, more damage to the property by having to wait. I couldn't put up with it.
The glass is necessary, it reduces carbon emissions by maintain the room temperature without using too much heat and electricity. I think instead of blaming that, the stiffness of system is a better choice.
I can never understand why, when money is tight, people start builiding things like 'a conservatory and games room'. Maybe add those sort of things as and when the money is more available. Can't really find sympathy for a struggle to build a conservatory and games room.
And would it have killed her to get a part time job?
I don't think the conservatory was a good choice...
Family buys property Dec. 15 to renovate into a home. When do you plan on being in? Answer: by Christmas.
Beautiful house, good for them, I hope they are happy there
Mr. Clarke, you are 👍
Watching her chuck out all that stuff into a skip (curtains and clothes) I wonder whether she has ever heard of charity shops.
They had me convinced that only the USA had an issue with McMansions.
Watching this show has opened my eyes to the delusions of the masses.
Lovely couple. Those creaking floorboards at the end !
Lovely family ❤️
Love the place, really well done and must be valued in the millions of pounds now. Funny to see the old technology, I wonder what year this build was finished?
Great episode, they stuck it out together despite the odds.
Im actually glad they didnt do the glass entryway
I have always loved this program used to look forward to this each week be really nice to no if they all still live there as they did seem very happy,so would it be possible to let us viewers no?
Amazing 🤩
Salut ,je vous regarde de la France , c'est une bonne restauration , les chaises de la salle à manger se rapproche du style Henri 2 de chez nous .
Nice to see a proper Ute, I didn’t realise they had them in the UK.
Lovely..
For three people they should have done a smaller area and made it nicer
12 acres!
Hats off to the husband who works from 4:30am till 9pm to make his wife’s dream come true. Borrowing another 250,000 is scary considering his age and the fact she doesn’t contribute financially to the family’s financials. They focus so much on Jan and her stresses… they forget to mention her husband, it really made me sad for him. It was rude she made a point about throwing away his ex wife’s curtains on television, painted a very selfish person in my opinion.
Nice,very nice!
Wish I was on Holiday..
O BREAK SINCE JAN 1 AND CORONA VIRUS!
SOME OF US DID NOT GET 4 MONTHS + OFF!
1. Get financing; 2. Get planning; 3. Hire a project manager; 4. Build; 5 Move in and pay off your loans.
Then sell the property in 2017. Listed as Oldfield Farm, Snelstone, Derbyshire.
Really?
George looks just a teenager 😮😮😮
I’m glad they didn’t do the atrium
I love this series but the difference in how it treats female PMs and male PMs is both stark and unpleasant.
They never talk about closets or food pantry space or a mudroom for the kids toys and coats and muddy boots
Hard to do that on a 40+ minute broadcast show. Especially when the producer wants to focus on family drama instead of structure.
if you buy an old place, you'll have to work with planning- get ready; the "rubber stamp" attitude was clear- they did not do the research or their own planning before jumping in, and that's the underlying issue here.
oh crap.....still no closed captions yet?
Just buy some land near the new factory and build a new house....
This is a perfect example of reckless greedy people. Borrow loads of money for a vast house you don't need.
Meow..?jealous
@@janpritchard8796 that the man had to leave his job and then sell the house they couldn't afford? No, just sad.
@@litsakoutoula3071 sometimes, when a person makes a common sense remark, the go-to response of others is to make snide comments like 'jealous'...quite pathetic.
How in the world is he going to work and earn money for his family
YUGE, but not smart to do a main bedroom on top floor cause age...and i cant believe u guys just skipped over the glass ceiling and what looks like an old well in the middle of the room....such bad bad showing...all this talking and not enough showing ( sorry but really, who cares about what they have in plans for work and all those irrelevant statements)
£1000 a month rent - when caravan would have sufficed. Holiday. Snobbery. Stupidity. Financial idiocy. Obstinacy. But nice dream and nice end. Good builder mentality.
Caravan living puts huge stress on couples during building. And can be dangerous to have younger child around the site. The rental isn’t much stretched over a 20 year mortgage!
Wife was stay at home mom; but was complaining husband wasn't getting the financing taken care of while he was working. Seriously? She couldn't log on to the computer when her daughter was napping?
Are you for real???? She was PROJECT MANAGER!!!! A full time job! As well as a Mom, and running her own business.
Blablabla, why overdone this way. To impress others? And by the way dont be wining when you can spend this kind of money! Snobbish.
Why she not got a job
Wifey...get a job....
