Collecting The Missing Piece For The Cottage @ Château de Lalacelle Ep7
Today at the Château.
Ash, Tony and a new face Edward, go on a journey through the beautiful french countryside to “collect the missing piece” for the cottage the we are currently renovating next to the Château. The cottage will need a full renovation which we are well on our way with, but there is one thing that we desperately needed to carry on with the renovation and struggle to get.
Also, Ash tackles the years of overgrown brambles around the cottage and Château to reveal some fantastic views from out the cottage.
Tony is busy pull the roof down in the cottage and shows the beautiful hand made kitchen that will be fitted.
And If you would like to join us on our family journey restoring this once abandoned château, then please just follow the link below, 🥰

About us and our story,
We are a family from Middlesbrough in the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful Château to its former glory.

UTB I have to agree with most of the other comments, the stairs would be better in the middle room, but it will be the bosses decision at the end of the day. 😁
Your right the second room makes more sense to have it in 😁👍
Either look good to me and probably it will be a matter of where they best fit.
I have 7 kids....5 of them boys....and I would take that little Johnathan in a new york minute. Love this whole family - including the doggos. Love what they are doing.
Thank you for saving the chateu. I am happy it will be saved.
Tony is looking even more handsome these days...rocking the new look!
It is definitely an improvement now he’s hair is cut 😁
I agree - stairs in the small room. Nice vlog everyone!!!
Thank you very much 🥰
Love the new intro Beginning to understand who is who in the family
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Tony is a workhorse.
He definitely is 👍🥰
I love the way Terry's not here to defend himself from all the taking the mick, lol.
Awwwww that was adorable when the kid in the middle seat smiled right at the camera !
Edward deserves a prize for riding middle seat on a long trip there and back 😛
😂😂😂 he definitely does 👍
Stairs in other room and a lovely big comfy sofa in extra kitchen space.
That is my idea exactly 👍🥰
Wow! What a difference that made taking down all that old scrub and brush mess. It looks lovely!!
Thank you very much 🥰
❤️🏰 Thank you; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda, Petal and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️
Those stairs were a great find and will look great in whatever room you decide to put them in.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Hello from the state of New Hampshire! Big change for you all to move to France, as it was for me to spend three years in Bradford UK ! Our New Hampshire country side resembles that of France. There is more available open land. The dense population of the UK was another world for me. We are a working farm family on 350 acres in Central NH. Grass-fed beef. What a good decision to take on this project! I will admit that I enjoyed Yorkshire Pud and a Bacon Buddy, but French food is one of my favortes! At least you are accustomed to driving on their side the road. Took me two tries to get my British drivers license! Nothing wrong with using restoration substitutes. Sometimes those older buildings were not built with the best materials. You must be bowled over with all that SPACE ! Looking forward to following your channel. ~ Cheers! Diane
Hello, thank you very much. Yes the space and land we have is a world away from what we had in the UK, I bet your family farm is just beautiful 🥰 thank you so much for following our family journey ❤️🏰
I will enjoy following your journey in France. Do you have an email address? I can email photos of our farm. I do not use Face Book. ~ Diane
@@dianehall5345 definitely it would be wonderful to see, chateaudelalacelle@gmail.com Thank you very much 🥰
Bacon butty
Sandra Ford- Thank you for the correction. Are you British? I am American and worked in West Yorkshire from 1992 to 1995. My memory is not as good as it was over 25 years go. On that note, one day I needed the corporate secretaries to text Mick. He was headed to Farnell Electronics. He sought me out later to show me what the secretary had texted.It said, " Go to FINE OWL!"
The stairs belong in the hall. The fit is perfect. The clearing around the cottage looks amazing. Well done guys... ❤🇦🇺
Yes the staircase fits far better in the middle room 🥰
Great buy with the staircase and I think out of the kitchen is the best place for them based on what the video shows. Kitchens can be noisy at times so the sound going up the stairs is best avoided when possible. The grounds are going to look great once summer comes around now you have cleared so much of the weeds etc. Great job all of you.
Thank you so much 🥰🙏
Always happy when anyone scores a great find/bargain. Very handsome staircase. Happy to see the progress/team work. The staircase would look wonderful in the vestibule.
Thank you very much, yes it definitely will look best in the middle room 🥰
What a great Monday morning I had a large coffee and I got to go on a journey thru the french county side, pick up a staircase and take the scenic route back thanks guys. You certainly got a lot of work done on the cottage and I love the cupboards. Thanks Ash and Tony for another great vlog.
You are more than welcome 🥰 glad you enjoyed it 🏰
Tony, you look 10 years younger without your hair! I agree with the majority; the stairs would be better suited in the room next to the kitchen. A tall pantry with multiple shelves accessed by a ladder attached to a metal rod at the top would look nice and appealing to the eye in that kitchen corner. Thank you for saving this chateau.
Thank you very much, yes the staircase will definitely be better in the second room. Tony is like a new man again now 😂😂❤️
Love your update guys and the introduction was superb - as well as seeing the pet shop. It was great touring France with you all and then Seeing the staircase in the house. I am with the many others that it is far better in the other room rather than the kitchen but we have to remember we won’t be living there. It is going to be really special and seeing how hard you are working towards this huge family home with three generations is amazing. Tony you look a different person - bet you got some stick for having the long hair 🤣. Looking forward to your next update and thank you👏👏
Thank you very much, yes I think the second option is best for the staircase 🥰 glad you enjoy the video 🙏
hi again, i would personally put the staircase in the other room. if, heaven forbid, there was a fire in the kitchen, it would travel quickly upstairs. having it the other room looks better too. love watching your progress
Thank you very much, great points 👍🥰
I agree and now I don’t have to write it all out too!
Everyone likes a little bit of sausage in the morning.... tee hee hee!!!
😂😂😂😂 Tony with he’s jokes 👍
I have seen on pintrest that people make a little apartment for the dog in the little spaces under the stairs.
Definitely a great idea 🥰👍
Escape to the Chateau includes its' viewers in their lives so much so that people think they are participating in the projects they do. Engineer and Designer makes for a very well established couple who diversify their passions. Knowledge is vast which is telltale of professionals. The skills are phenomenal developing and enjoyed! Yippee!
The lad wasn’t amused when they were talking about breakfast
Good to see you making progress. Tony take care of yourself. You doing a lot of hard work. Slow and steady wins the race.
Thank you very much, he is bless him 🥰❤️
Great job, clearing, Ash! 😊
Definitely put the stairs in the second location.
Thank you very much ☺️ it definitely fits better 🥰
Just finished watching and just wanted to let you all know how much I enjoyed! Hadn't even thought of the stairs being the "missing piece"! Whoever was the architect of the Chateau sure was good as even the Cottage has such good classic proportions! Now that you cleared away the overgrowth you can really see that!
Thank you very much, it really is a beautiful building, the rooms are massive for a cottage so will be great when we start decorating 🥰
I agree with others that the stairs would be great installed in the vestibule, and keep the large kitchen open. No smells, clean design lines. And great options for additional kitchen features!
Definitely a better idea 😁👍🥰
Your filming lovely reminds of Acorn Antiques but it's all so sincere brilliant
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
If the staircase fits in the vestibule, I think that's the best use of the space. Only if it really messes up the layout above would I put it in the corner of the room.
Thank you very much, yes it definitely works better in the second room 🥰
Thanks for a lovely trip. Thinking of the warmer weather coming for all you chateau owners. Stairs will look great in the hallway. The Chateau looked stunning coming in from the road, Wow, just wow. Just enjoy the time you have together and we can't wait, as yourselves to see the coming transformations x ❤
Thank you very much 🥰
I'm so glad to see you have pink trees in bloom!
We do, it’s so beautiful 😻
Thank you for saving the Chateau ❤!! I am re-watching from the beginning😊
Definitely put the stairs in the other part ,it looks like it's made for the stairs and nobody wants kitchen smells lingering upstairs if they can avoid it x
Yes we think it will definitely work better in the small room and did not even consider the kitchen smells so thank you very much 👍🥰
Yes I agree, the little room next door is crying out to become a hall way and cook smells stay in the kitchen. Xx great job lads xx
@@cheriesharp234 definitely agree 🥰
Definitely the middle. Stairs in kitchen is if you can afford a maid. 😁👋🇨🇦
@@susannebrown3255 yes the staircase will fit perfectly in the middle room 🥰
The building walls will enjoy the sunshine too. Dry them out if needed which is a bonus.
You guys are doing a tremendous job, keep it up lads. It's lovely to see such a kind and loving family doing a project that will leave a legacy.
Thank you so much 🙏🥰
I love that we get to go on a ride and see a bit of France 🇫🇷!! ❤ Thank you for taking us a long. It's beautiful and charming!
Wonderful video as always. Keep up the great work and the old lady will shine again. My husband and I are raising our nephew as our own son. I love seeing you two being in your nephews life like that. We all enjoy your videos so much.
Thank you very much, she is slowly but surely coming back to life 🥰🏰
I love everything about this vlog , tell Tony he looks younger without the scruff !! The Chateau looks amazing from the main road and it will look even better when you guys get it to where you want it to look . Nice intro with the dogs , just love them....
Thank you so much 🙏🥰
Maybe - I liked the “scruff”.
YOU all bring Joy and Beauty to this world!
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
I too think putting the stairs in the vestibule is the best option. Your videos are getting much better, especially the sound. As you are getting lots of subscribers, many other people must agree! Congratulations on that! Presume the staircase was second-hand. If so, it was a great purchase, particularly as you have the skills to adapt it to your needs and that it matches other timber in the cottage. The place is coming on in leaps and bounds.
Thank you so much, yes we are definitely learning from each video and glad you can see the improvements 🙏 Yes the staircase is second hand but will fit perfectly in the second room 🥰
I have to agree the vlog is getting better with each episode. You’re doing a good job with both. My only gripe is that the audio could be better. I like the new intro and I now have an idea on who’s who and their fit in the family. Good work guys👍
@@DaveD61 thank you very much, yes we do now have mics so should be better :)
Definitely put the stairs in the middle room far better place ... looking forward to seeing how you all progress with the works on the Chateau bringing it back to its former glory fantastic work so far 😍
Thank you very much, yes definitely work better in the second room 🥰
Bonjour, j'ai decouvert votre chaine ce week-end et j'adore votre projet. J'ai commencé à visionner vos vidéos, et en même temps je révise mon anglais 😊😊😊. J'ai hâte de voir la suite des travaux. 👏🏼👏🏼😉🤩
Awsome! I love the petshop!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Every time I watch you chaps I am full of admiration. Well done and keep up the good work
Thank you so much 🙏🥰
patrick looks like hes in charge. damn good show.
Thank you very much, yes Patrick is the boss 🥰
The Chateau is coming to life!! 🪴 I’m sorry to tell all the hard working adults in the family.....that Jonathan is the star of the show🏆 And where did that kitchen come from?🧚🏼 Loved the time-laps!!!!
Jonathan definitely is the star of the show 🥰
That kitchen is going to be amazing when you finish.
It will be beautiful and fits perfectly 👍🥰
it's going to look wonderful
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
I agree with everyone else. The stairs look better in the second position and look like they were always meant to be there.
Thank you very much, yes the staircase fits perfectly in the second room 🥰
Great video, things are really coming along! That's a great idea using the feeding troughs for herb gardens. Thank you for the drive, beautiful countryside, the town is really pretty. Glad the stairs are going to work out for you! I really enjoyed watching! Take really good care of yourselves, stay well, be safe! Much love Kathy x
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
It's Great to see so many Chateauxs being renovated ! This one is Beautiful .
Thank you very much 🥰
The drive through the lovely village made me dizzy! lol
😂😂 sorry about that 🥰
Yes, totally agree...put the stairs in the vestibule. With stairs in the kitchen, all cooking smells rise...a real pain! Great vlog, its great to hear your plans and to see things beginning to take shape. We loved the fantastic cupboards and units in the soon to be kitchen, and the idea of an interior herb garden...mmm...an idea to copy maybe.
Thank you very much, yes great point with the smells, the herb garden will be beautiful indoors 🥰
Live long and prosper little Johnathon 🖖
@@derekbriggs6207 Hey! How come they call you Tony if your name is Derek? Not that it matters really, but it took me awhile to realize you were one and the same. I kept seeing your responses in the comments and was thinking "Who is this Derek person who seems to know everything that's going on?" 🤗
@@derekbriggs6207 Well pleased to meet you. You're a very hard worker ... much admiration for you and your family. Looking forward to what comes next.
VERY EXCITED to see a new video!!!!
Thank you very much 🥰🙏
I would love to have a go at those gates!
Great job of clearing the area around the cottage.
Thank you very much, it has opened it up so much 🥰
Just watched for a second time. So glad you did ended up putting the stairs in the hallway. They are a perfect match and you did a masterful job Tony. The kitchen cabinets are superb!! Please don’t paint them! They are high end cabinets and not meant to be painted as you probably know. That kitchen will look magnificent when finished. Well done both of you as usual. 😊👏😊👏😊
Great video! This episode was really well done. Ya'll are really advancing leaps and bounds in your video editing, and putting the cuts into a engaging episode. The stairs look quite nice. They seem almost made for the walk between. I have to say that the gardening and revealing of the grounds was my favorite bit. It just opens us the place so much, and shows so much more of the chateaus' character. The kitchen cabinetry look good can't what to see how it laid out and painted. So excited to see what Ya'll do next.
Thank you so much, it means a lot to us that you like the video and can see that each one is improving 🥰
I like to read the positive, encouraging comments, good one!!😎
Me again another thought. To include your viewers you could ask them their opinion on things; like the stairs etc., as I’ve read some really valid points. Obviously the final decision rests with yourselves but I think being more inclusive could widen anyone’s thought process. 😊🇦🇺
Thank you very much 😁 yes we do ask for the views ideas like in the outbuilding video 😁 they has been some great points about the location of the staircase from this video and I think we will be going with them in the small room 🥰❤️
Wow, you can already see how Chateau is comming alive... Great work guys...
Thank you very much 🥰
The stairs were a great find!
Creative idea using troughs as herb gardens!!! Happy you are repurposing lovely items!!! Toodles!
I have followed your journey until this episode. I like your storey, enthusiasm and would like to see your resourcefulness solve the problems, but have decided to end my engagement, one, because your endless talk about things to be done or need to be done and secondly your music while you are working, for me that is no joy anymore. Best of luck.
This is another vote for the stairs going in place in the lobby area between the kitchen and salon. It is always nice to have extra storage or an eating space in the kitchen.
Yes I think the lobby room wins for the staircase 🥰
Put the stairs where there is already a hole with rot.
That was the idea but the flow feels better in the other room :)
@@chateaudelalacelle I didn't see the other room well, so I'll take your word for it. You know what's best for you.
@@acadacad1 thank you very much, we will show more if it next time 🥰
What a magnificent sight/site.
Thank you very much 🥰
Can’t wait for the stairs 🥳🥰💞
Yes the staircase will be beautiful when fitted 🥰
Boy that a lot of work for one person
Thank you very much 😁 there will be five of us soon to work on it all 🥰
The place is looking great. I may be the only one to comment on the animals in the grooming shop, but they need daylight. Perhaps some lights could be left on with timers for fish, gecko, hamsters, etc.
Thank you very much, yes we have timers on all the lighting, we had to turn them on for filming 🥰🙏
Binge watching today! Tyty Stephanie Jarvis! Reno tip if you want...I discovered TARPS change your life! Lay them them down in sections under work areas and you can drop debris and easily carry them out with 2 people!!💗 Serious time saver.
Hey great progress guys. The young guy in the middle in the hoody looks like he don't like the camera much bless him. I'd be the same. Xx ❤️
Thank you very much, it is he’s first time bless him 🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle Ahh tell him to relax xx ❤️
@@lw7240 yes we will do 😂🥰
Yes he didn't like the Camera.
Instead of a herb garden you could use it as an ice bucket & fill it will beer & wine :-)
😂😂 great idea, I’m sure Tony would love that👍🥰
Your kitchen cabinets look great and so does the pet shop!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Hi guys, enjoying seeing your project. La Rochelle is nearly 200 km from Bordeaux. Xxx
Thank you very much 👍😁
Good luck on your beautiful home.
Definitely the second location for the stairs. They look like they were made for the space. You've really reclaimed the ground around the chateau. Looks very nice!
Thank you very much, yes the second option is far better for the staircase 🥰
I love watching all of you, and will be watching your noble efforts (knowing just how difficult these projects can be). It is a spectacular place, and everything you do makes it even better.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Enjoying the progress - inside and out!
Thank you very much 🥰
Great episode again Guys. I would definitely locate the stairs in the other room, they look like they were made for that space a seems much more sensible. Love all the vids Guys cant wait for the next one. Much Love. Jill Birmingham U.K. XXXX
Thank you very much Jill 🥰 yes the stairs do fit better in the other room 🥰
Beautiful little boy.
Thank you very much, he is Jonathan 🥰
You are doing amazing work guys! Keep it up, loving sharing this adventure with you 💕🐾🐾
Thank you very much, will try and get the dogs in the next one 😁❤️🥰
That would be lovely as an herb planter ... Wow, the grounds look so much better cleaned up, so open and you can see the Chateau!!!
Thank you very much, yes it definitely looks better now cleared 🥰
Fantastic new intro. The pups look quite glamorous in the photos
Thank you very much, 🥰
Sorry I missed the premiere, bet Ash thought it was his birthday when he could wear a T-Shirt for the first time after the long winter. Good bit of work has been done since the last time. And what a great find, finding the stairs !!! Tony I would agree with you, go for the hall as it is the normal position for stairs and large enough, also the kitchen smells will not go up into first floor bedroom area that way. A large kitchen is just luxury, so why not keep it that size and have a grand big table also acting as an island or peninsular ? Keep up the good work !!!
Thank you very much, great ideas for the stairs 👍 Yes ash it enjoying the sun now after a very cold winter 🥶
your friend got a nice smile
Thank you very much 👍😁
Love the water basin in the kitchen and I can't wait to see it finished.
Thank you very much 🥰
Love your kitchen cupboards, timber colour very stylish. After many years in business, you would be surprised how many people have not put much thought in stair placement, and never thought of how it would work getting furniture up them, glad to see you guys are thinking the placement through so carefully, getting it right can save a lot of frustration in the future. As always wishing you well and enjoy.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰❤️
(Moira Ashton) So exciting to see the changes, such a pretty Chateau, and what stunning views, what a difference with everything cleared away.. beautiful. Cant wait until next vlog!!!
Thank you very much 🥰
The stairs would look great there in the passage. It would look as if they had always been there. It’s looking absolutely great! Good job guys!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
That middle room is made for those stairs, you could add in a walk-in pantry in that corner of the kitchen? You are making great progress.
Thank you very much 🥰
That is great idea 💡!
I totally agree with you on those stairs.
You guys are so hard working... The stairs where a fantastic find. The scenery on the way home was lovely. The French countryside is rather magical. It will be nice when the rest of the family arrive. It must be difficult being separated. Although I am watching this months behind.
Loved your vlog, such a change every time I watch , it’s making such a difference to your home, the second option for the stairs looked really good. Much love from Devon England
Thank you very much 🥰 yes we think the second option is the best 🙏❤️
I just came across your video. I subscribed as I feel you are doing a great job. Anticipate many more. Thank You
Thank you very much, hope you enjoy them all 🥰
Blessings
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
How lucky are you to have Tony as an in-house builder.
We are very lucky to have him 🥰
