Escape to the Country season 22 episode 5 is titled "Suffolk" and follows prospective homebuyers looking to trade in city living for a quieter, countryside lifestyle in Suffolk, England.
The episode begins with host Sonali Shah introducing the first couple, Karen and Paul, who currently reside in London but are looking for a new home in Suffolk. They have a budget of £475,000 and are hoping to find a property with outdoor space and potential for rental income.
Shah takes the couple to their first property, a three-bedroom cottage in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. The house is full of character with exposed beams and a large fireplace, but Karen and Paul are concerned about the small garden and lack of rental potential. The second property is a five-bedroom house with extensive grounds, but the couple is put off by the amount of work required to make the property their own.
Next up are Ellie and Patrick, a couple looking for a change of pace from their hectic careers in London. Their budget is £650,000 and they are looking for a property with a large, open-plan living area and plenty of outdoor space for their young daughter to play.
Shah takes the couple to their first property, a six-bedroom farmhouse with stunning views and plenty of land. Although Ellie and Patrick are impressed with the house and surrounding countryside, they are put off by the amount of work required to update the property. The second property is a converted barn with an open-plan living area and modern finishes, but the couple is disappointed with the small garden.
The final couple, Tanya and Steve, are planning to retire in the near future and are looking for a peaceful home in the Suffolk countryside. Their budget is £450,000 and they are looking for a property with a home office and plenty of space for their hobbies.
Shah takes the couple to their first property, a four-bedroom detached house with a large garden and plenty of space for a home office. Tanya and Steve are impressed with the amount of space the property offers and are pleased to find a separate barn for their hobbies. The second property is a three-bedroom house with a large garden and beautiful views. Although the couple is impressed with the property, they feel that the interior is a bit dated and would require some modernization.
Throughout the episode, Shah provides helpful tips and advice for each couple, including information on local amenities and potential rental income. Each couple is given time to reflect on their property search and to discuss the pros and cons of each potential home.
