Escape to the Country

After 23 years living in Canada, today’s buyer is returning to the UK for good. She is looking to make her rural escape to Devon, but there’s a catch - she has never been to the county before.

Jules Hudson helps a couple find a property in rural Norfolk that can serve as a luxury holiday let business.

Leafy Buckinghamshire is Sonali Shah's destination today, where she's helping a London couple search for their dream countryside home; sticking to bricks and mortar, Sonali also visits the county's last independent brick maker.

Having spent 30 years living and working in Hong Kong, today’s escapee teams up with Jonnie Irwin in North Yorkshire with a house-hunting budget of £350,000.

Jonnie Irwin is helping a property hunting young family bid farewell to city life to begin a new life in the Dorset countryside. Away from the house-hunt, Jonnie dons a hat and apron to become a sausage maker for the day.

A dog-friendly garden is a top priority today for Nicki Chapman’s buyer in Devon. Nicki also visits a charity that gives city children a chance to experience life on a farm.
