Ep 119. Little Oundle of Joy in the UK
- September 18, 2015
In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a young couple, Kimberly and Andrew, as they search for their dream home in the idyllic countryside of Little Oundle, UK. Kimberly is originally from the United States and Andrew is from the UK, and they are currently living in London. However, the hustle and bustle of the city has become too much for them and they are looking for a quieter, more peaceful life in the countryside.
The couple has a budget of £350,000 and is looking for a three-bedroom home with a garden and plenty of space for their dogs. They want a home with character and charm, but also modern amenities and plenty of natural light. They are hoping to find a property that is move-in ready, but they are also willing to do some renovations if necessary.
The first property they visit is a charming thatched cottage with exposed beams and a cozy fireplace. The garden is stunning, with plenty of space for their dogs to run around. However, the kitchen is quite small and the bedrooms are on the smaller side, which may be a deal-breaker for the couple.
The second property they view is a modern three-bedroom home with an open-plan kitchen and living area. The natural light floods into the home, making it feel bright and airy. The garden is smaller than the first property, but it still has enough space for their dogs. However, the location is further from town than they were hoping for.
The third property they visit is a stunning converted barn with vaulted ceilings and plenty of character. The bedrooms are all spacious and the kitchen is modern and renovated. The garden is also large and perfect for their dogs. However, the property is slightly over their budget and they may need to make some compromises in order to afford it.
Throughout the episode, we see Kimberly and Andrew weigh the pros and cons of each property and discuss what is most important to them in their dream home. We also see them adjust their expectations as they see what is available within their budget.
In the end, Kimberly and Andrew make a decision on which property to buy and we see them happily settling into their new home in Little Oundle. The episode highlights the challenges of buying a home in a foreign country, as well as the excitement and joy that comes with finding the perfect home in a beautiful location.
