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!!

The work you and Anna are putting is looking very good. How incredible! It's wonderful seeing old become new again. I'm going to continue to watch your future videos just to see all the beautiful care and work the two of you are putting in. And France is one of our favorite and lovely place to visit. 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.

Oh I have watched you for years, and now finding your Chanel had made my day. It is our plan to move to France in a couple of years and try and find our own little mansion or Gite…. just lovely to watch and how your babies have grown……I remember Anna going into labour on that busy wedding event… love to you all. ❤

The kitchen is bigger than some apartments in Paris or New York City. The kitchen is spacious. That is good to have a spacious kitchen.

I echo all the sentiments of your talents and skills used in this renovation/restoration Ed and Anna. I love your decor style and perfection to details everywhere. A truly amazing achievement when you look back now. I do hope you can eventually see some way of keeping this majestic building as your family home. 💖🙏🏻

You’ve done so much work and it’s brilliant what you done thus far

Restoring and renovating these Chateau's are costly and time consuming and I get why you didn't want to take on another one. There has to be room in your lives for you and the little ones, with the business in your Chateau and raising your family is enough, the progress so far is astounding and beautiful, thanks for taking us back to the beginning. But.... if you should buy another one in the future I will be watching. Well done. Love from NY.

When you look back, it's always surprising at how much work was done. You two have really put a lot of work in this place. If you don't live in it, someone will be getting a beautiful home, with everything thought out for them, with no work, just enjoying it. I've enjoyed watching the progress.

I've just been watching these chateau restoration videos and I like these (the mansions) much more than the huge great houses of the U.K. They are at a more human scale, although I still can't imagine living in one. I especially like the stone walls with wrought iron gates along the road.
