We are Emma and James Lowsley-Williams, the proud inheritors of the Chavenage Estate, a 2000-acre Cotswold estate that’s been in James’s family for six generations. At the heart of the estate is the magnificent 500-year-old Elizabethan Manor, and now it’s our turn to continue its legacy. Join us on our journey as we navigate the challenges of owning, running, and preserving this historic estate in the modern world. From renovating the manor, launching new businesses, to uncovering the rich history of the estate, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our adventure. On this channel, we’ll share our triumphs and struggles, whether it’s tackling historic renovations, starting new ventures, or learning about our family’s heritage. We hope you’ll join us as we breathe new life into Chavenage Estate and preserve its legacy for the future. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!

Video Description
Hi everyone, welcome back to Life at the Manor! This week’s video is a really special one for us because we’re finally sharing a look around the private wing of the manor the part of the house Emma and I will eventually call home. It feels exciting (and a little nerve-wracking!) to show you where we’re at in the renovation. We’ll take you through the rooms we hope to live in soon, talk about our ideas for the downstairs spaces, and share what it’s been like working with our architect during this early design phase. Inside this video you’ll see: The rooms we’re planning to turn into our bedroom, bathroom, and dressing room How the downstairs could one day look (fingers crossed for planning approval!)
