A homeowner has been slammed by critics for turning a Tudor-style mansion into newbuild-style contemporary home.

Tudor-home lover Fabiola posted a video showcasing the transformation to their Instagram account @littletudordiary. 

The video, which appeared to have been posted by a construction firm, reveals how the homeowner wanted the property to have the style of a French country home.

Builders removed the timber façade and replaced it with a clean grey finish with dark grey window frames.

They added that the client also requested for the brickwork to be painted white, with new garage doors and gutters resulting in a drastic switch of style.

While the homeowner may have been happy with the renovation, critics blasted it on Instagram.

One commenter wrote: ‘I hate it. Since when is ‘removing all the detail and painting everything white’ French country? WTF kind of design school did you go to?’

Captioning the post, Fabiola wrote: ‘I get it’s possibly Not an old Tudor, but unfortunately, now it’s not French country either as I think that style has stone and earthy façade and those French shutters. 

‘Therefore, not only [is it not Tudor] but it’s not a French country home. Please correct me if I am wrong.

‘I masked the design company on purpose, [at the end of the day] it’s always client wish and their home.’

Other Instagram users were far from pleased with the outcome, fuming: ‘It should be a crime’. 

Another said: ‘Why buy a Tudor house if you don’t want a Tudor?’

One person wrote: ‘Oooph what a downgrade.’

Another added: ‘French country? Really? Which bit? Oslo? Stuttgart? Pittsburgh?’

One fumed: ‘Yes. A complete mess. Architorture.’
