I'm so surprised by this move. Followed her for ages, and have always quite liked how irreverent she is. Showed my husband and he thinks the new place is in a much nicer spot. I feel the Georgian house was "the dream". It's such a drastic change. Their new garden looks minuscule. So the kids have to play in the front garden, which doesn't exactly look safe or that private/secure? On the one hand being steps away from the pub/shop is great, but wouldn't that imply there will be a lot of traffic?
I don't know, it doesn't feel like this decision was made based solely on a view. Either the Georgian house became too expensive to maintain, or too cold, or something is up. If it was for financial reasons, it would be a nice thing to acknowledge particularly right now with everything going on in the world. That's a pool, right? Maybe they just wanted a pool?
I notice they were in Harper's Bazaar recently. I guess the adage is holding true that when people show their houses in spreads like that, or AD, it's because they're looking to sell.

I think she'd be a fool not to film and monetize the reno. It's interesting content, far more than what she usually puts out.
I'm always pining for the options people have in the UK and Europe. In the US we have nothing as far as truly ancient rustic housing, with beams, stone and history. To purposely choose a "ski lodge" style feels very weird to me. But then I didn't care for her other previous house at all. At least the fireplace she's shown looks nice and rustic.
