I wonder if they ever found what they wanted, or if they realised they'd have to significantly up their budget. I don't always understand the choice of houses shown, but in this case, ETTC was spot-on in the choices - every one of them. But this obsession with a large flat garden for playing football of future grandchildren who would only be there a few weeks per year at best...
The mystery house was lovely. You could move in as it is and do it up as you go. It might not have the beautiful garden the 1st house had, I loved the layout of the main house and the potential to expand, then the additional unit to make into a second holiday let plus the acre of land which was bigger than the one available of the 1st.
Too many holiday homes here in Cornwall and not enough for people to live in full time, in the winter a lot of the prettiest villages are like ghost villages , all the soul is lost. If only people would just buy lodges for their holiday homes it could ease Cornwalls massive housing shortage.
The garden at the first house was amazing. It must have had 20k worth of plants in it. And the house was like two houses. I don't see the logic in paying an extra $50-75k for the holiday let when you'll make less than 10 thousand a year with it. A lot of work, too. Isn't there any kind of licensing required? Most people on the show who mention it have no experience at all.
Love Nicki! Great properties. Unrealistic expectations. Don't understand the obsession with grounds for the grandkids. Huge grounds to care for as you age. How many years does it take for a holiday let to pay off? And maybe they should pick a cheaper county.
The couple doesn't seem realistic on real estate, especially for a desirable area. Also, holiday lets are a lot of work---don't know if they realize that. Nicki is so gracious.
House number one was awfully cluttered. I would have thought that when you wanted to sell you’d declutter to make it more appealing ! Just the same it’s a lovely home…
I also don't understand, why people want to buy a house for there future grandchildren. There might never be grandchildren, who knows.... Lots of pressure on the children to start a family
I want a garden, then a garden is shown, now I want a large grass area for football, then, well what a bore - people simply need to understand what their $ will buy them - IMO at the moment, they need a whole lot more $$$$$
They all seem to want the same thing anyway. A big open kitchen for entertaining, 3 bedrooms, a reasonable garden, 2 reception rooms, and a workshop for the hubby! Every house should be the same price. Lol
I think the theme song for the show was composed by the same person who did the introductory music for Downton Abbey. I'd be interested in knowing if it was.
If you look for an old stone house in the vacation capitol of the UK, you can't expect to get everything you want in terms of space and land! The house will be small and the location expensive.
Thank you for posting this episode. Best wishes to the couple. I have followed Kirsty Elson Designs on Facebook for some time. Her work is imaginative and intelligent; love seeing her and her work on the show!

👍👍👍 Real full episode including end credits. Every episode of Escape To The Country should be of this audio, visual and editing quality.

I've wondered about that, too. Sure sounds similar.
The farm looks great you and brooke have worked hard ❤

the farm is amaizing
Why didn't they just dig out the chapel? Was it really easier to chop a hole in the roof for access?
Generally it's more expensive to live in tourist spots. Cornwall is a poor county and has to make it's money in a relatively short holiday season
