One common theme that always runs throughout homes of people with poor taste is excessive gold & crystal “designs”

Swarovski crystals thrown on literally everything stuck down and moving. But the house still looks cheap and dated. Petra took an absolutely beautiful home and turned it into a Vegas casino suite.

It’s incredible how they made a $170m house seem so Claustrophobic

This house reminds me of when I play the Sims and I build a house with the most expensive furniture in the game, no matter whether it looks good or not

They took a beautiful mansion and turned it into a gaudy ‘glam’ commercial space where the only constant is gold + panthers, and nothing is truly considerate of the building heritage. The most enjoyable part was the garden and the sick jungle gym IMO.

This has to be one of the worst interiors ever shown by AD. Cheap, tacky, no taste.

"Due to permitting laws now, you CANNOT recreate this." What I hear is that you did something so horrendous that they created a law to keep it from ever happening ever again. XD

I was really excited when I read the title because I adore 18th century architecture. It's a shame what they did to the interior.

"I personally love historic homes, and obviously, I love to collect them" Yeah *obviously*, who doesn't?

I don’t suggest taking a drink every time they say “obviously”

"I personally love historic homes..." Keeps the exterior historic but changes the interior to American modern. Seriously, you could stick that interior in Beverly Hills and no one would blink and eye. As a buyer, if I am buying a "historic" British home and paying that much, I would want it historic inside and out.

"One of the main reasons I fell in love with this home was all the natural light" Girl, where? I can't see where I'm walking on this tour lol

Two rich people complimenting their incredibly horrifically decorated house. Was fun. What's worse is I'm sure they were like "oh AD audience will think our house is extremely impressive and jaw dropping."

Did she actually just say she loves to collect historic homes lmao

The designer: how many chandeliers do you want? Them: yes

I'm liking this video only because I want to see more hideous homes belonging to detached ultra-wealthy heirs and heiresses.

She’s going to keep that house in her collection for a long long time with that price tag

This price tag is insane. No way is it worth that.

The Ecclestone sisters are basically the British Kardashian's, they have an uncanny ability of turning a pretty home into a trashy WAG-style house...

Someone please prevent this woman from buying historic homes and ruining them.

Proof that money can't buy taste.

Proving rich people have no taste

A prime example of money being unable to buy you taste or class. My aunt owns a 20,000 acre 18th century mansion in Burwash, Sussex England. The Glebe Rectory House. The East Sussex and Romney Marsh ride from there. Beautiful house, beautiful grounds, and above all classy and steeped in history.

They keep talking about natural light, and yet they have more artificial lights than a commercial building.

Horrible interior design. If I were a Formula 1 heiress and owned that house I would pay respect to the time period it was built and follow a more traditional design pattern. This screams new money and is very gaudy. Surprisingly, many of London home interiors are turned into modern mausoleums, I think because the exteriors are very classic and people feel that traditional interiors are stuffy especially being in London and surrounded by classicism everywhere you turn. Also, many of London’s luxury homes are also ‘iceberg’ homes because of the large basements that are dug out to fit swimming pools, gyms, car parks, movie theatres and whatever else you can imagine. IMO, her sister, Tamara’s home is also modern but done up in a more refined and better taste. It’s sleek but stylish - this home isn’t very nice despite its size, exterior, garden and prime location.

Is £170 million the price just for the property or is that including the cost to replace the God awful interior as well? I've seen more tastefull gypsy caravans.

It’s furnished in such so dark, harsh and suffocating way while the exterior with the lovely tall windows would suggest a light and airy atmosphere on the inside.

They literally slaughtered this beautiful house , no class …. All that money and this is what they did omg . I’d literally rip the whole thing out and start again .

Proof that money cannot buy taste, nor lessons in elocution.

Terrible home decor! I would never buy something like this with such a grotesque interior design.

The house was purchased by Petra Ecclestone for $60M pounds, she listed it for $130M, and now it is $170M? Where are they getting these valuations, and how close are they to the actual sale prices?

I'm getting the opposite of a homey feeling from seeing the inside of this house and how it was presented. At most it gave me and impression of 'Look at how much money we have'. They're exactly the type of people I imagined as owners when I first heard of iceberg mansions and all the problems their construction causes.

Imagine growing up so rich all you can do is spend your time thinking of ways to upgrade your house.

Beautiful outside, terrible inside

20 thousand square feet and their boys share a tiny bedroom. The daughter's room is a normal size as well. She doesn't have enough clothes to fill up have the closet in the master suite. All we saw was a medium size kitchen 3 bedrooms and the basement. That's not their damn house. The dad clearly bought it for his entire family and gave them a couple rooms. That's why there's a separate entrance and living room. Who tf do they think they're fooling? 😂

I honestly thought they both were real estate agent trying to sell this house in the beginning, considering the amount of vaunt they've expressed towards every detail. So they were complimenting themselves. I see.

This is NOT worth 170 million pounds.

How can such a big house look so crammed? Guys, please switch to someone that doesn't only try to sell you as much as possible and get someone with style and taste instead -.- All of the furniture looks like something people over 60 liked 30 years ago and well... Look at those huge outdated telephones! What? :D

I love how Sam's acting like this is his house, and the description lists him as James Stunt

"This is the first time we've let cameras into the house." Damn maybe if y'all let other people see wtf you were working on it wouldn't be this bad

She loves to collect Historic homes. Wow. I dont think ive ever heard that.

I’m sorry, but this seems like a spoof. Also, he said “compromises of two homes” instead of “comprises”

Thank you AD for reminding me money cant buy taste.

I have lived my entire life in the same area of London as this house and I was still not prepared for this. "The house is 6 stories so naturally we needed a lift", I'm sorry what? There are apartment building with the same number of stories (or more) with no lift! Also the extra basement levels are so bad for the neighbouring houses to the point where it has caused other houses to fall down!! That's why you cannot build basements in this borough anymore!

That's the most expensive hideous house I've ever seen!

Who renovates a whole house and DIGS OUT a new basement... but keeps their radiators? What?

I would buy it…but I just finished my own collection of historic homes last month. Dang!

What I like about this house: the garden.

This guy is delusional as hell! He thinks that house is worth £170m and he thinks he's 6'4" 🤣🤣

Dear god with such an incoherent look I would have thought that at least one room wouldn‘t be horrible. But no, there is something major off with each of them

The interior design is just as stunning as her makeup. Those contouring skills... 🤦🏽‍♀️ That chandelier 3:10 is terrifying. Looks like thousands of hornets trying to break through the ceiling

Sloane Lodge "compromises two...homes" never a truer word has been spoken!

Why do they always try to change the integral style to the house. This house was never supposed to be modern, so don’t force it

It needs just a little more gold

This is truly awful. It's a tear down.

This reminds me of something out of 80's Dynasty

I gave up counting how many times “natural light” was mentioned, but I thought the ground level / kitchen in particular seemed so dark? Might have just been bad lighting in the video but the upstairs seemed brighter

They must have felt so confident into their 18th century home to dig 15 meters deep for a wellness center.

Whenever I feel like having a little comic relief, this is my go-to video. Such a fabulous monstrosity! Natural light everywhere.

If I had a penny everytime chandelier is said is this video, I’d probably be able to afford the house…

Alot of people here say its an ugly house. It is indeed!

I don't think this home deserves to be priced over 40 million!

The house is gauche but it’s the boyfriend for me, behaving like he’s the rich one despite having to create a purpose for himself after bagging a billionaire 🤣 But RE the house, that kitchen is tiny for a house that large, I seriously hope there’s a second kitchen somewhere or it could be moved somewhere easily with some height. It feels so claustrophobic in its present location. I don’t recall seeing any lounges, but surely there must be at least 3 that one could become a kitchen. Bedrooms? WTF? Like there were all so small and had no ceiling height. That dining room was so dark and gaudy, as were all the various lighting fixtures and chandeliers. The leisure level seemed to be the best part of the whole house, like at least there was lightness to it and it seemed the least claustrophobic of all the floors. It seems like a very poor investment, obviously she didn’t pay £170m for it but such an odd renovation. It would’ve been better with a more classic vibe for walls and ceilings and then contrasted with modern art and furniture - the interior has lost any sense of historic quality which is a shame because they obviously had the budget to make something really special had they retained what I imagine were the original mouldings and covings etc. There are so many houses in London that achieve so much more despite being a bit smaller or having less garden, this is soulless, lacks any sense of personal style and just downright tacky.

The best part about This house are the vídeo comments 😂

I switched off when this guy said the house "compromises" of two homes...all that money and can't get basic English right...okay

It's so horrendous! Worth $30 Mil max with the gut-renno that will have to be done. The outside is gorgeous

This guy is so smug. The way he goes on you would think he was a self made man and bought this house with his own money. Reality is he’s living off bernies billions.

This is what the Scar Face house would look like if the movie came out in 2021.

I never thought I could be BLINDED by a home tour video

A) The property is worth nowhere near £170M! B) How much will it take to renovate the interior, to something tastefull?

those poor fish are surrounded by gaudiness, someone set them free💀

Not even close to worth it, ridiculous! They certainly think alot of themselves and their home.

Simply grotesque

If this was in my price range, I wouldn't even think of buying it. Its awful

those people are caricatures of human beings. "I like to collect historic homes"... The detachment almost hurts.

Things rich people say: "I love historic homes, and obviously I love to collect them." A Georgian mansion. A collector's item. That's when you know you've made it ladies, gents, and others.

For someone born into that kind of wealth they seemed very offputtingly pretentious and ostentatious

It's like a Swarovski Crystal mine was just divebombed by an insane magpie...

Would this not be a listed property? I’m confused at how they made so many awful changes to a house that must be listed on some level in the UK.

Here’s a new drinking game: Take a shot every time she says “obviously”

This is the same chick that turned down $150 mill. For the Manor in LA. Only to relist it for $200 mill. Insane

The most hideous, kitsch, revolting design I’ve ever seen on a house. Inside and out. For 10mil you can build a dream home anywhere, everything about this place is busy, cramped, and lacks any energy, flow or warmth.

Property sold in 2015 of £21.5 million

The house reminds me of old Las Vegas. Like, everything tacky and gold that was ripped out and thrown away a long, long time ago. Yuck.

This is a grotesque display of wealth jfc eat the rich

This all looks like: How can we get the most expensive option for every feature in the house and we'll just go for that so we can say it's top luxury. No matter if it goes together or actually looks like a cohesive home. The taste level is definitely questionable.

“personal spa retreat and 14 bedrooms during lockdown” ah yes, flex your overprivilege to the max, while millions were losing their jobs, struggling to pay rent or feed themselves, u were getting massages and guzzling on caviar. humanity is absolutely disgusting lmao

I could probably buy Warwick Castle for that amount.

The price tag is insane... I get it, it's London, but it is still insane. The house itself is very boring and unappealing imo.

When I gaze upon the interior of this house all that comes to mind is tacky, £170 mill worth of Swaroski crystals for sure! AD, why are you showing us this horror?

- "obviously it's to entertain and to have lots of parties that we do not have" - **nervous laughter**

Horror

Not at all my taste. Not a single book, but big rooms dedicated to make-up, cloths and gym, etc.

Pardon, AD - she's not married to James Stunt anymore, as you've stated in the description. Her husband is Sam Palmer.

"obviously I like to collect historic houses". Well, lah di dah princess. So do I

I really like the chandelier in the dining room. It looks like a cloud of diamonds. So beautiful

For 170 million I would build Rivendell. Rich people have zero taste.

At first I thought this was one of Liberace's houses. ;)

20 for the house and 150 for the location.

Ya no way that's a $233 million dollar house...
