I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that feels that this beautiful, historic house has been "blinged out" with absolutely no sensitivity. I watched till the end of the basement and I couldn't watch any more. It's absolutely sacrilegious that they were allowed to do this to what was probably an equally stunning interior to it's exterior. If I haven't made myself clear 😂 it's HORRENDOUS!

I agree with you a thousand times over! So many homes shown in videos that are just beautiful from the outside and historical, are totally ruined by turning the interior into a cold, ugly and no personalty. This house is seriously ugly inside..

I agree. I loved the wooden touches - the metal branches, the stairs and stuff like that. I didn't mind the modern kitchen, it's actually very lovely. Where they lost me is when they made an entire bathroom out of mirrors and every living space into a dark gray/silver combo. Don't get me wrong, that is one of my favourite interior styles, but in this house? It clashed too much with the character of the property. I mean, a shiny silver mirror on a wall with wooden beams? Am I the only one gagging at the sight of it?

I knew it!!! I came specifically for the comments and you didn’t disappoint me 🤣😂🤣

The exterior looks absolutely wonderful and the garden is a dream. The interior borders on chaotic with such extreme contrasts, almost tacky. Each individual component would look amazing in a different setting. The stairs leading down to the wine cellar are a work of art for example, don’t fit in this house in my opinion. All a matter of taste however and the owner has obviously spent a lot of time thinking about it all. The kitchen and bedrooms etc are the highlight for me 👍

What have they done to this beautiful cottage? They’ve taken one of the most gorgeous exteriors you could ever see and tried to redo to interior like it’s an Essex new build mixed with a 1970s Soho club. It’s really gaudy, tasteless and tries way too hard. All they had to do was update and maintain the warm cottage feel with high end materials and finish but instead they’ve gone for blue, neon light, furniture that was out of date in the early 00s and mirrors behind the AGA cooker. I was really excited for this look at the thumb nail but it’s so tacky that it’s an insult to the building itself. I really don’t mind modern updates or design but this isn’t that, it’s just design by flailing around trying to look expensive without cohesion, insight or thought as to what fits. Money really doesn’t necessarily buy taste it turns out. So disappointed.

Ruined a beautiful old stately home. I am an American and it is so surprising to see all these British treasures that people with lots of money buy only to ruin with these tacky modern designs. This house reeks of "we have money and no design sense". Only in the UK can you find old Tudors, Edwardian mansions and other similar gems only to fill them with modern Italian glass, led colored lighting and glass stairs. Murano glass is beautiful in the right setting, but this clearly misses the mark.

The interior oh Dear !

Gorgeous home exterior. However, I find the interior decor and design absolutely tacky and unmatched for the property type. Buying this for 5 mil would be a loss cause you'd have to change just about everything inside. At what point does the animal print become too much? Makes you wonder how they got away with all of this in a grade listed property.

They must have had a big brown envelope.

The House exterior and surrounding gardens are absolutely beautiful, but the interior sadly is a mishmash of different looks that seem to clash. If I was fortunate enough to have money to buy this home, I would take the interior back to match the look of the house, and decorate it with a more cottage feel to it.

To each their own, but the interior looks more like a celebrity house in Los Angeles, California or a posh London flat. Not a historic country house in the UK. Its almost counterintuitive to buy a historic house and then make it ultra modern. Exterior and garden are amazing though.

The exterior🛐 The interior💀

Not every single one, but there is a lot of truth in it. I've been in the business for 22 years and when they ask me that, I say it depends on YOU and I walk them through it. If they have job stability, it's a long term play, and it's comfortable financially, then perhaps yes. If not, I will advise that maybe they should wait or rent.

Sometimes modern contemporary can be mixed with tradition but this time absolutely not. I absolutely love the outside and hate every piece of the inside.

Wow, this has to be the worst home I've ever seen on this channel, just goes to prove money can't buy taste. It's like a nightclub owner from the 1980's was given an open wallet and told "do your worst". Seriously though, it's such a shame to see a stunning property with so much history treated with such contempt.

The outside is amazing... as is the house but the interior is Straight Outta Brentwood!

The house and the garden are breathtaking !🤩 The indoors look like if a designer had thrown up all over the place though !😂

Not my cup of tea, the house beautifully from the outside, amazing gardens and annex good upstairs and grate hall the rest though I think the owners have ruined it the lights the glass the stairs mirrors make it look like some type of nightclub/swingers club not a home.. would love the greenhouse though ( would add a vegetable garden and chicken coop though

Lovely house but ruined by the interior design sadly. Gardens are beautiful. It seems to be a trend with people with too much money but zero taste to buy beautiful old properties and then destroy the interiors with ugly out of place modern furniture and fittings. I would love this house but I would need to redecorate. One thing I did like however were the chandeliers, although not sure they fitted the character of the house. Such a shame.

This is a gorgeous home ( so pretty , especially from the outside ) but there is too much footballer shiny bling going on inside , needs warm lighting & textured fabrics to warm it up .

Tudor cottage outside; expensive chaos inside. British design needs a cohesive renaissance.

Really didn’t expect the cruise ship interior, shame considering the cost but everyones home is made for them and your own private sanctuary so can’t judge based on my own preferences. The garden and location is amazing

Was the interior designer shown a different house?! I see that thought was put into some of it (whether those were good thoughts is a different matter), but none of it complements the house. Hope whoever is responsible for this gets their tacky ass haunted by angry Tudor ghosts. Lovely gardens and exterior! Loooove the greenhouse.

Class on the outside. Bling on the inside. Yuk.

OMG the property is outstanding...I don't mind bringing modern into an historic home like this, but I think I would have gone mid-century mixed with period antiques. I would like to see some historical artworks mixed with contemporary art like Stella, Rothko or Motherwell...mix it up in an elegant way. I do appreciate a calming environment to live in, but those gardens and lake are a dream. Fascinating property I would love to get my hands on to renovate in a more sensitive direction. Great tour guys!!!...❤

So much diversity in that house. Luxurious yet quirky. The house itself is very interesting, lots of nooks and crannies. I likely would have opted for different decor, but so would everyone else, we all have our preferences. The grounds, however, are beautiful.

I could have guessed some of the commentary regarding the interior design, BUT I LOVE the lower level that staircase leading down to the lower level is AMAZING!! Stunning and the feel of the old with the new with some imagination, the gardens are SUPERB, and room for a tennis court that would make it great!! LOVE this tour the 17 mins went by without notice as there was so much to appreciate, again others may want all traditional, all the time, but this is just a great meld to ME anyway!!!!! Great tour keep them coming and btw well worth the asking price as is!!!!🥰🥰🥰

Fantastic vide, more of Kent!!

LOVE the quirkiness of this! That staircase down to the wine 😍 Looks a little Geiger-esque!

Mind explosion alert!!! ❤ Earthly-Peaceful-Modern-OH MY!!!

Great tour and very interesting home. Loved the bedrooms, great room and kitchen. The garden is absolutely fantastic, love to see them in the Spring and Summer.

Ermmmm what can I say, think its all been said with comments down below ..From the outside you would never think the inside was going to look like that . Funny not many bedrooms for the size of the house did we miss some out. The gardens were fantastic, shame other large houses with loads of land don't follow suit instead of just having fields and a few trees dotted about. But yeahh nice but id have to do a few alterations inside (cough)

This is a proper luxury home, love it !

Wow, this house just keeps giving. Granted, not sure the old and new go well together, excessive use of glass, metal and mood lighting but the house and grounds are amazing, love the interesting old features and layout of the house and impressive cinema room 🤩😍

Beautiful from the outside. Didn’t work from the inside at all. The kitchen was a disaster - did not suit the property. The chandeliers were too much for the size of the property. Tried to bring too much bling into a period properly. Think I only liked the dining room. These owners got it completely wrong.

The pink and blue LED lights make the place look cheap and tacky. Money doesn’t buy good taste.

I'd be happy to live in just the annex, as long as it came with that wonderful garden.

Extreme interior decoration. Some works well, like master and the great room. Other parts not as much for me. Exterior and gardens are perfection. I like the room layout. Lots of nooks and crannies.

Stunning

Great content guys, really enjoying these old properties you’re looking at, am I allowed to ask what happened to summer ? All the best Steve

Stunning property

Incroyable!!

The interior design is so spectacularly tone deaf given the building that I was laughing in disbelief. Remember how Arsenio Hall did up the flat in Coming to America? 😂

The grounds are stunning and yes I have to agree the interior is not at all in keeping with the property. However, each to their own.

Fantastic ❤️⚡️❤️

One of my absolute favorites. Very Practical and comfortable, classic on the outside, state of the art interior.

Beautiful building. Tacky Interior decor. I would strip it and start again. Some things could be salvaged but not much. Would need half a million to re decorate that size house.

I love it. Character inside and out ❤🎉

Outside - wonderful, inside an eyesore. Like some paint colours are right for some cars and others are not well I feel that a really modern interior spoils this building because it is not sympathetic to the exterior.

My greatest consideration when looking at large historic properties is never the purchase price (which can often be startlingly reasonable): it's the annual running costs. So many people don't do thorough research and end up selling up after a few years, disappointed, especially if an expensive Grade List-compliant repair needs to be done with some haste too. Gardeners and housekeepers aren't cheap either.

Ooh my, how romantic is the bedroom, this is a beautiful home

Absolutely stunning home. I bet you need an army of staff though to run it and do the gardening.

This is absolutely awful

both of you are great couple for real estate ..good luck for both of you

One of your 200 million yr old trees is the Wollemi Pine that you glimpse from the upstairs apartment over the garage. Believed extinct since whenever, it was found again in ONE canyon inside an Australian National Park (the location of which has been a closely guarded secret). So all Wollemi are genetically identical, and all could be wiped out from one disease.

Highlights for me: the fake sleeping cat in one of the rooms downstairs. the „art work“ tv in one of the bedrooms and of course the waterproof sofa 🤣🤣

Incredible looking house with great modern interior. I think King Henry V111 would definitely be there in that garden with another one of his wives!!

Tacky!!!!

The garden and the outside of the property is beautiful, but the inside could be a little more classy , thanks

It looks like a fancy barn so far.

personally my favourite uk home so far . ( inland )

I was attracted to this house online with tje impressive garden and housee exterior .when looking at tha,inside photoi was shocked by the tacky taste . This is probably why the house has been on the market for so long

16:45 outstanding property with endless charm and cosines.....in some of the rooms...Nothing is wrong nor right but down to the individual owners taste, but to me a bit of English countryside style mixed with Scandinavian taste could do wonders to this spectacular and stunning house. The garden is amazing but too pruned to my liking and it would be nice with more natural shapes and forms on the bushes etc rather than squares and balls.... again taste is difficult to discuss and each to their own.

I would buy that house just for the gardens---but how are they so lush in Winter

Tasteless interior. Sort of nouveau money. Outside very very beautiful!!

What have they done to that magnificent property 😵😵

Nice

Outside is soo much nicer than some of the inside.

Think that’s my favourite ever house

the best part of the property is the annexe

What a house.... 1 please!!!

Oh dear. The exterior was delightful but the interior- yikes!!!

Soooooooooooooooooooo how much of a discount are you going to give to fix most of the interior

Like Night club design

Definitely one of the best properties I've seen, wouldn't change a thing.

Gives me Haunting of Hill House vibes on the outside.

Guessing it's going to be a nightmare to maintain! Both inside an outside! Probably need a small army of retainers, gardeners and such!

The interior design of this house is out of this world😂

I can't get on with "principal suite". It's the master bedroom. Ha

Wow - stunning house and grounds - loved everything! Not sure I could keep the garden looking so good though as I seem to have plant killing fingers!

Disappointing interior- really tacky

You found Gandalf's house! It's not to everyone's taste, but it's incredibly interesting! I particularly loved the bedrooms and the garden. I'd have added a spa, dipping pool and jacuzzi in the basement instead of the bar/wine cellar/TV room.
