Alistair Appleton travels to north Devon to see if he help can cook up the perfect rural home for a pair of baking enthusiasts with a budget of £450,000.

Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!

[@bonnieoles4212]

I live in the US. I've watched a number of these shows and have fallen in love with the beautiful countryside there in the UK. I am so grateful that I was able to see these shows; I've really enjoyed them!

[@kellyk.3855]

Same here...i want to live here in one of these beautiful old homes with the history, the roses & wisteria over the door, and old mill or converted barn....'sigh'..

[@janiceellis8765]

Me too!

[@claudiaparker6877]

I love this show...it has something calming to watch...and the beauty of the country...makes me want to pack up and move there.

[@SloMo2723]

What a great show! It's nice to get away from everything going on in the world and just sit back and enjoy watching this program. All the best from California

[@alkaaggarwal7539]

All the three houses were beautiful. The third one mystery house was excellent.

[@Collerz7]

This is my favourite show. Living and working in Asia for the past 3 years, feeling homesick. Hopefully one day I can come back and buy a nice countryside home

[@williamkimmel6487]

I certainly hope your wish comes true. I've been homesick for 26 years Kim USA Expat South Africa 🇿🇦

My ancestors are from this part of England. Those ancestors brought horses with them on their journey across the ocean to Newfoundland….Seeing this wild Devon horses was so neat because the breed looks so similar to our Newfoundland ponies…our horses are descendants just like us. 🙂 Sadly, our ponies are almost extinct now.

[@susiesimmons2796]

I have watched this show for more than a few years now and love the different areas of England, Scotland, Ireland etc. Beautiful country! I have my favorite presenters of course which add a real charm to the purpose of the show. But what touches my heart most is the care that a lot of folks in that part of the world have for the elderly parents. Being of a mature age now myself, I think that is a wonderful way to give honor and respect for those who warranted it w a lifetime of loving family and sincere community service. Love this show, and wish this current couple all the best.

I LOVE the show. I LOVE the lack of 'fabricated drama.' And my heart beats faster with the sight of each field and village. Alistair... up to his old tricks; completely ignoring one of the necessities of his clients.

I love the beautiful 15 & 16 century villages/towns. Especially medieval/Tudor style homes I would love to live in England. I hate when people renovate these old treasures into contemporary style designs. I wish they would just restore them to close to what they looked like (of course you need the indoor plumbing, heating & electricity...things like that). I love the look of the beautiful wooden beams and thatched roofs. Dang I would love to afford to move to either England, Scotland or Wales (my great grandpa was from Wales and Great Granny was from England and I have family from Scotland!)

[@Capkirk]

Artlover No shit Sherlock. I’m not delusional. There’s homelessness everywhere in every city, village, town, county, parish, state country in the world! There’s no reason to assume someone is an idiot or not realistic....all I did was make a comment on the beauty and history of the UK

[@Capkirk]

Artlover Not touchy at all. And the way your comment was written was very condescending. And I doubt that all homeless people in villages are cares for. Normally they are given a ticket to another city so that they can live on their streets. And before you make another condescending comment ...I do know this as fact. I have family and friends who reside in small villages - to large cities in the UK. Have a brilliant and safe day!

[@violetwilliamson1300]

so nice that they both agree on a quiet country environment...it gets rather tiresome on many "similar" style shows when they each have such opposing requirements...one wants to be in the middle of the city and the other wants a more quiet setting! Inevitably one of them always has to compromise... this show was a refreshing change!

[@handebarlas6248]

Yes cruel when they need a big garden.

[@bjbrown]

Such pretty homes, I hope they find the perfect home, it isn’t easy!

[@tinacollins2055]

In so many of shows similar to this, the agents don't show places that meet the buyers needs. To show a house with no "garden" which was a main feature this couple wanted was a waste of their time.

[@shicruisin7004]

I LOVE Escape to the country.....but I get very irritated when they are given a brief with CLEAR stipulations of what the buyers want & need.......and they show them one or more houses with one or more of the absolutely vital requirements missing.

[@hw260]

This couple had quite a low budget. It's hard to give anyone their complete wish list when they don't have enough money to make that happen.

[@EMSpdx]

I had to stretch my budget when I gave my brief to my real estate agent. I got everything I thought I wanted - but I do still have work to do on my place to truly make it mine!

[@EMSpdx]

LOL! I got a house that had everything I wanted and I still want to make changes!

[@irisheyesofbelfast]

@@EMSpdx I think it would be rare to find a home already built with exactly what everyone wants. Wish lists vary and one person may want this and this, while another may want this and that. I for one hate dishwashers but it's rare any more to find a home without. They're out there but if it doesn't have a dishwasher it's probably missing something else I DO want. Your best bet for a perfect house is to have one built. But that's okay. I may want turnkey but I would still want to put my own stamp on it as well.

[@susanhamilton1822]

The exact house that people think they want doesn't always come on the market in the area they've chosen. I think they do a good job for the most part. Often when they do find the perfect house the couple doesn't buy it anyway. I just watch for myself and dream. I don't really care what the house hunters do. I find so many of them outrageously spoiled and picky.

Love North Devon, not so crowded as the South, BUT--those narrow roads(more like Lanes) with 6 foot banks on each side of the road, and NO pull--INs ? wear waterproof pants, in case a local Farmer, driving a Monster Tractor, comes thrashing down the road at 50 mph. Happy memories.

[@judithburke1539]

[@charliebrown5755]

As an American the first house seem to be attached to other houses definitely something I don't understand being in the country.

[@janiceellis8765]

I would think because what has been made into living places for humans used to be farm buildings of some sort, and making them into 2 homes gives them more of a scope for people to do what they want with it like when a person comes along and has the money to make a handsome offer to the people on the other side of attached 2 different homes. And I thought the very same thing 2 days ago then I thought about a good reason they have what we in the U.S. would see only in a town or city. And it does solve a certain situation which could be older people spending part of the year traveling and don't have anyone to watch their home for them,like having a built-in babysitter very close by. Sorry but Just Saying.
