- August 3, 2012
An Active Couple seeks English Charm Overseas in New Zealand is the 26th episode of the 26th season of House Hunters International. This episode follows the journey of an active British couple who have decided to fulfill their dream of living in English-style homes overseas in New Zealand.
The episode begins with the couple, Jenny and Richard, talking about their excitement at the prospect of moving to New Zealand. Jenny explains how she has always been drawn to English-style homes, and Richard confesses that he is looking forward to the quality of life the country has to offer.
Their real estate agent, Kim, takes them to a variety of properties in the Auckland area, which offers a mix of urban and suburban living. The first property is a classic English-style cottage that has been renovated and modernized inside. Jenny and Richard are impressed with the charming exterior, but the small size of the house is a major drawback for them.
Next, Kim takes them to a larger, contemporary-style house in a suburban area. While the couple is impressed by the size and layout, they are not completely sold on the modern design and lack of character. They express their desire for a more traditional look and feel.
As they continue their search, they visit a few more properties, including a modern townhouse and another English-style cottage that needs a lot of work. None of the properties feel quite right to Jenny and Richard, as they still haven't found the English charm they were hoping for.
Finally, Kim takes them to a house that seems to tick all the boxes. Located in a quiet, suburban area, the house has all the character and charm they were hoping for. It boasts a classic English-style exterior with a white picket fence and beautiful gardens, and inside, there are traditional English touches like a brick fireplace and wooden beams.
Jenny and Richard were thrilled with the house and excitedly discussed the possibilities and potential of the space. They loved the idea of working on the garden and turning it into a beautiful outdoor retreat.
However, there was one major drawback: the house was located outside of their preferred area, which meant a longer commute for Richard, who works in the city. The couple had to weigh the pros and cons before making their final decision.
In the end, Jenny and Richard decided to go for the English charm and chose the house with the beautiful garden and character-filled interiors. They were willing to make some sacrifices for their ideal home, and were excited to get started on their new life in New Zealand.
Overall, An Active Couple seeks English Charm Overseas in New Zealand is an enjoyable episode for fans of the show, as well as anyone who is interested in real estate and home design. It offers an interesting glimpse into the housing market and lifestyle in New Zealand, and demonstrates the challenges and rewards of finding the perfect home overseas.
