I sat and drank in the pure beauty of this remarkable house. My idea of my dream home. Thankyou for opening the door so I could have a peek. Lynne.

This is the most spectacular house.
What I like most about this house – and I have seen articles about it – and the various rooms from so many angles – in many books and magazines, is that the owner did it all himself and with such marvellous taste.

Magnificient home and renovation job. What a lovely way to restore and retain history. Wife and I love England (from Australia) and am intrigued by the history of the East End where my ancestors lived before emigrating (mid-1800s). Ancestor was once licensee of Castle Hotel and family lived at one time in the Gloucester Buildings. Keen to get any info on them. Noted that this house is called Gloucester Terrace – but it’s on New Road whereas Gloucester Buildings were off Church Lane (now Back Curch Road) between Ellen and Faiclough Streets.

Amazing house- few houses of this period have such original features left- it is so full of character!

This remarkable house! I sincerely hope that Mr. Whitaker will be moving on to either another wonderful project (which, based on his efforts on New Road, would be yet again Herculian). I have loved, via your lovely photos as well as magazines and books, his New Road place for many years…yet now we can all, assuredly, look forward to Tim’s next challenge and true labor of love. He has done so much for saving and revering what could have been lost….much like you, Gentle Author!

If someone out there suddenly wonders what to buy me for Christmas – this could be a good one 🙂 But at £1.5 million I really, really, really doubt it. We can dream…

This was magical. The basement room leading to the kitchen could be the most perfect room imaginable. A time machine.

Beautiful pictures, beautiful home! I have never felt as though I should be living in this century. My soul longs for another day, another time. One of my lifelong dreams is to visit the UK, especially England/London. I am very drawn to anything English! I can walk into an antiques store and find the only item signed “Made in England”. Viewing pictures such as these takes me to the place my soul yearns for, even if for only a few minutes…
