Embattled in Essex, UK follows the journey of a couple as they search for their dream home in the picturesque area of Essex. The couple, who previously resided in London, decided to move to the countryside in search of a slower pace of life.
The episode starts with the couple, John and Sarah, discussing their love for the countryside and their reasons for moving out of the bustling city. They both agree that they want a spacious home with a large garden, preferably one with a pool where they can entertain their friends and family during the summer.
Their search starts with a viewing of a stunning six-bedroom home located in the village of Writtle, just outside of Chelmsford. The house boasts a beautifully landscaped garden with a swimming pool and a tennis court. However, the price tag is a little steep for John and Sarah's budget. This property sets the tone for the rest of the episode, with the couple looking at extravagant homes that are over budget and homes that require a lot of work.
The second property is a Victorian farmhouse that has been newly renovated. Although the home is within their budget, the couple does not feel a connection with the property. John and Sarah continue their search, looking at properties that require major renovations, causing them to realize that they may not be ready for this type of project.
As the episode progresses, John and Sarah become more disheartened as they are unable to find their perfect home. However, they come across a property that is located on the edge of the countryside, near the town of Witham. The house is stunning and has a large garden with a pond. The property is also located within their budget, and they both feel a connection with the home as soon as they walk through the door.
Throughout the episode, John and Sarah’s relationship is tested as they struggle to agree on the type of property they want. However, they are able to come to a compromise and agree that the property they found near Witham is the perfect home for them.
In the end, John and Sarah make an offer on the property and the episode ends with their excitement and anticipation as they wait to hear back from the sellers.
