GEORGE CLARKE’s Old House New Home viewers were left raging as the host teared into a traditional Georgian property.
The latest instalment of Old House, New Home had viewers furious when the host teared into a Georgian townhouse.
The Georgian townhouse hasn’t been renovated for over 30 years and needed some work
George’s work was a success as the couple loved the stunning house transformation
The Channel 4 show sees old historic houses transformed into modern and livable homes.
In the latest episode of the Channel 4 property design show, George attempted to bring the grandeur back to a Georgian town house in Cheshire that’s been stripped of its original features.
The property show host, traveled to Chester to take on the Georgian Townhouse that had lost its way.
Homeowners, Dan and Jade bought the Georgian townhouse 18 months ago for £750,000.
They couple, along with their son, Cosmo, moved five doors down from their small 400 year-old cottage into this grand double-fronted Georgian townhouse.
Although the property was stunning on the outside, on the inside – it was a different story.
The house was last renovated over 30 years ago and needed some serious work.
Host, George described the house as being ‘stripped from all its Georgian charm’
The couple said the house has a lot of space, but it ‘doesn’t have any character at all’.
They didn’t know what to do with the ground floor, so George suggested knocking walls down to open up the space.
Impressed with George’s idea, Jade said: “I feel very lucky to have you sat in my house, coming up with all these ideas.”
George worked his magic on the 300 year-old Georgia townhouse, and the end results were, stunning- but viewers thought differently.
One viewer wrote: “What is wrong with these people? #oldhousenewhome
Another wrote: “It’s a Georgian terrace, not a mansion.”
“What on earth… This couple on #oldhousenewhome with their big Georgian Townhouse that’s nicely finished and in tip-top condition, are talking like it’s some decrepit hovel, just needs a lick of paint” wrote another viewer.
Another echoed: “Georgian Townhouses are tall and narrow, the hall looks original shape to me, why change it, work with it.”
Viewers were not impressed, and thought the Georgian townhouse should’ve been left as it was, with smaller rooms.
Despite the viewers not approving of the new design, after spending £160,000 on the renovation, the couple were thrilled with the end results, and Jade burst into tears when she saw it.
