ABANDONED Mansion To Luxury Home 5 years in 30 minutes Renovation Journey

ABANDONED Mansion To Luxury Home 5 years in 30 minutes Renovation Journey
From an Abandoned Mansion to a 21st century Luxury Home
Peek inside this mini Chateau
A 5 years renovation project
Bonjour everyone
This weeks vlog has something for everyone….
For our long standing subscribers on the surface this vlog will look like things you have seen before, but in fact Edd takes us round the property showing previously unseen footage showing the abandoned state the property was in from before we started vlogging.
For our newer subscribers it will be a taste of the enormous amount of work we have done over the past 5 years!!
See you all later at the premier
Edd & Anna

    As a poor man, at seventy three, I am filled with envy yet happy for all of you who did the transformation. Were I wealthy enough to do just this, I would pick the outskirts of some town that needed work for all of its citizens an literally knock out all the unemployment of the area. Even people who are imprisoned in local areas could use their handywork. From scratch to finish, a old west theme or even multi areas of interest

    I live in America and my husband and I spent 4 yrs renovating 1/2 of a 2 room school house back in the 90’s. My husband was a carpenter and it was what we thought would be our forever home. However we ended up selling it and moving to a traditional home because we ran out of funds and motivation. At the end of your journey I would love to know your cost and hours spent. Both must be astronomical! I love all your thought and care put into everything. Best wishes for completion of this amazing project!

    I just saw this vlog and immediately recognized you both from Escape to the Chateau (I hope I remembered correctly, as there are various French country home programs). I am immediately curious about the chateau in this vlog... is this property near or adjacent to the property you used for your quite wonderful wedding receptions? Edd, I also recall that your parents had an impressive property that you and Ana took over management when your parents retired. I loved the detail of your receptions and special care for your guests. This new project, I just need to tie it in to my very pleasant memories from another TV program. I too have restored many properties, from a 1703 house on Eastern Long Island, to several 1900s houses in the same area. And a "castle" in Southern Spain near Seville and some 19th and early 20th century homes on Ibiza, Spain. It has been so rewarding to restore every property to its most authentic past as possible. I truly admire you both. William

    In the States, if it is a room with mainly a washer and dryer, it would be called a laundry room. If the room has laundry but also other uses (extra storage, hot water heater, main electric box), then we call it a utility room. A mud room is typically an informal entry room where you take off/put on your shoes and coats and store those items. Love seeing the before and after photos and video. Amazing how much work you have accomplished in a year and a half. You are both such hard workers.

    This house exudes so much character and nostalgia. The renovation is of such high quality. I can't believe you managed that in five years. Even with a lot of help, that's still commendable. The use of the colors and the fact that you have left many things original also contribute to the character of the house. The first thing I thought of when I saw the facade of the property was Villa Volta. That is an attraction in the amusement park De Efteling in the Netherlands. You could put this building in the park as it looked before the renovation. I like this kind of houses because of the warm elegant look. Good job!!

Thank you so much 😀 for having the heart and soul to endeavor. Truly wish more people here in the USA, being a very young country, would have the same respect and responsibility 🙂

    Your Mansion is so lovely. Renovating a handsome building such as this can only be fun amidst the hard work. What captures my eye is, although it is a mansion, looking out through the windows and doors gives me a quaint cottage feeling. Vast building with a soft inner heart.

    ADORE! I would have fallen for the same house! It’s wonderful! The outside is just perfect.. has the perfect amount to say yep I’m beautiful.. love that you kept the crack in the molding.. love the molding in the first floor main rooms.. like the can lighting.. love the stained class door! Love the mosaic floor and the radiators. The stairwell is simply triumphant! Thank You for saving something abandoned! And the fact that you did all of it yourselves.. feels awesome right? Cute family! Best of luck to you all!

    The work you two have done is remarkable, it is truly an act of love that brings back the splendor of the house. As for those who do not like painted wood, well the truth is that some wood is simply rather ugly and does nothing to enhance the space, I for one believe that not all wood is worth preserving.

We plan on moving to Barcelona as our retirement and have already started looking for our little fixer upper as well. You've inspired us to just go for it.

    What a beautiful house throughout. And a fantastic job of restoring it. I appreciate the fact that you decided to keep much of the original parts of the house, such as the window shuts, since I feel like many people that restore old houses throw away perfectly good wood and other materials that could've been used otherwise. Keep up the good work!

    I've never seen people renovate homes from the ground up like this before. It takes dedication, knowledge, and skills in this field. The techniques used are different from what I'm used to, possibly because I haven't seen much renovation of old buildings in my country. It seems like demolishing and building anew is more common here, even among the wealthy. The techniques shown in this video and others like it are impressive.

    Thank you for the tour, you have done amazing work. Those who were upset that you did not purchase the chateau you toured were not listening very well. You did explain why you felt it was not worth trying to save due to the terrible condition. In Canada we call the room and laundry & or mud room. Each country has a different name but all do the same job.
