House Hunters International Season 28 Episode 141 Looking to Escape their Grueling Commute, a Family Moves out of Manhattan's Burbs and into Scotland

Looking to Escape their Grueling Commute, a Family Moves out of Manhattan's Burbs and into Scotland follows the journey of a family who is tired of commuting from the suburbs of Manhattan to the city for work and school. They are ready for a change of lifestyle and want to embrace a slower pace of life. With a budget of £650,000, they set their sights on the scenic countryside of Scotland.

The episode begins with the family, consisting of a husband, wife, and their two children, meeting with real estate agent, Craig, in Edinburgh. They express their desire for a home with character and charm, plenty of outdoor space and easy access to amenities like schools and shops. Craig takes them to see a beautiful Georgian townhouse in the New Town area of Edinburgh. The house is stunning, with period features and large rooms, but it quickly becomes apparent that it is over their budget.

Next, Craig takes the family outside of the city to the picturesque village of Auchterarder. Here, they view a contemporary style home with a stunning view of the nearby hills. The house is spacious and modern, with plenty of room for the family, but the location is not quite right for them, as it is too far away from basic amenities.

The family also meets with real estate agent, Mark, who shows them a beautiful, traditional Scottish home in the village of Bridge of Allan. The house has ample living space and is within walking distance of local shops and schools. The family is excited about the location and the home's layout, but are concerned about the high cost of renovating the house to modern standards.

Lastly, the family visits a restored country house in the countryside near Stirling, which is within their budget. The house has beautiful period features, spacious rooms and plenty of outdoor space. It also has a separate cottage that could be used as a vacation rental or guest house. The family is impressed by the potential of the property and excited about the prospect of running a vacation rental, as it could be an additional source of income.

After viewing all of the properties, the family must weigh the pros and cons of each home before making a final decision. They are torn between the traditional Scottish home in Bridge of Allan and the restored country house in the countryside near Stirling. Ultimately, they make a decision based on the location and the potential for rental income.
