Ep 3. Wiltshire
- October 10, 2017
Escape to the Country season 18 episode 3 takes us on a journey to Wiltshire, a county in the southwestern part of England. The episode focuses on a family of three who is looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and settle down in the countryside.
Our host, Alistair Appleton, meets with the family at their current home in London to find out what they're looking for in their new home. The family is composed of a couple with a young daughter who is thrilled at the prospect of having more space to play. The parents are both professionals, so they're looking for a property that is within commuting distance to London. They also want to be close to good schools for their daughter.
Alistair starts by taking the family to a property that is on the outskirts of the county. The property has a large garden and plenty of land where their daughter can roam around. The house itself is a traditional English cottage with exposed beams and a thatched roof. The family loves the charm of the house, but they find it too small for their needs.
Next up, Alistair takes the family to a property that is closer to the town center. The house is a modern build with plenty of space for the family. The house has a large open-plan kitchen that leads to a cozy living room. The family likes the house, but they find the location a bit too busy for their taste.
Alistair then takes the family to a property that is near a village in Wiltshire. The house is a renovated barn with plenty of character. The family is excited to see that the house has a large garden and a beautiful view of the countryside. The house is also within commuting distance to London, and there are good schools in the area. The family falls in love with the house and decides to put an offer in.
The episode ends on a happy note as we see the family move into their new home. They're excited to start their new life in the countryside and are grateful for Alistair's help in finding their dream home.
