I never understand why elderly / retired people would be shown all houses with so many stairs in and out. Happens so many times. In a few years it would be a nightmare for them to move around.

I agree ever Since I have been watching this show I have wondered the same thing plus why so many bedrooms for 2 people?

My dad is 91 and still lives in a two-story property. It makes me nervous, but he loves his house and doesn’t want to move.

I am 77 and 2 of my good friends fell in the last 2 weeks. Neither on stairs but that would have made it worse. Both had to go to the hospital. I have a ranch home with a full basement and I rarely go down the stairs. The buyers need to think about getting elderly.

Richard is quite entertaining. Along with our wonderful Johnnie, they gave a few good laughs! No idea why they don't ask for ground level sleeping, but I took loved the mystery main floor and yard.

I'm so selfish that I want Jonnie amongst us so we could enjoy his almost impish humor and quick wit. We love ya, Jonnie! Blessings to his lovely family.

Jonnie a pleasure as always. But I will never understand why a couple in their late 70s won't specify ground-floor living, including at least an option for a ground-floor bedroom. I don't think it's up to the show to switch to a bungalow if they don't ask but - why do they not ask when they already now have some issues with steps? Instead they consider the mystery house which has no ground-floor anything?! I found house #2 beautiful and the garden was lovely. And it would give them the option of ground-floor living.

yeah....I have seen so many of these episodes. If I had the cash I would have bought several dozen of these homes already. I think England is amazing. I could drive 4 hours and be across the country and be in a totally different environment, or just stay locally and enjoy a walk on one of the many footpaths. I wish I could move there!

I've watched this show for years, nearly every episode. I'm wondering if there are just so few homes in the country with ground level bedrooms with en suite, perhaps they all just assume the will walk stairs to bed until their dying day😮

This was one of Jonnie;s best! The mystery house stairs at the front would be a turn-off with bags of groceries at their age? Forget it!

@jennyc1846 15 күн бұрын

I think I saw a wheel chair ramp on the stairway maybe they can hang their bags of shopping off of that?

What is wrong with a bungalow? Knees and backs are the first joints to go. (Stairs are the enemy)

@jamesr1703 4 ай бұрын

It's 2024 and these houses are probably around $1M now, but still the level of quality is over the top.

@karenwoodpolisini 10 ай бұрын

At their age they won't be wanting to walk up or clean a 3storey home. I'm surprised they didn't ask for a bungalow but I guess alot of people enjoying walking up the stairs to go to bed. Sometimes it gives a sense of safety also. I'm 61 with mobility problems and I'd love to have a 2-3 bedroom home bungalow with everything on the same level. My priority is to have a big kitchen-diner- living area with a laundrey-larder right off the kitchen. I'd love a snug/study too, to create a separate space for my husband who enjoys his sport and merits a room all for himself. 2 bathrooms are essential with one being exclusive to the master bedroom... a small terraced or lawned garden is all we need, just enough to let the cat out and we can continue with our BBQS. We have our 3 story terraced home on sale here in Italy and are just waiting for a sale to find our last comfortable home that will meet my specific heath needs now. Hope these guests will find their last home which they will enjoy with their kids and grandkids!

Husband : absolutely no more than three bedrooms. We are downsizing! Wife: gardening is my passion, it gives me happiness I need a large one ETTC Producers: First up! A large six bedroom with a small garden that’s 1/2 paved.

I loved the 1st house, great curb appeal, south facing garden, modern with clean lines, beautiful layout, spacious with 6 bedrooms, and a great price too.

Darling couple they were simply a joy to watch. Loved house #2 or the mystery house for them. Nice to see Jonnie...he is so missed!

@BritGirlJay 10 ай бұрын

I'm a lot younger than this couple but I've been in a one-level home (OK not totally we do have a large basement) and love it. I'm sure I could get used to stairs again (we have stairs to basement and also about 20 steps to get outside to the garden cos we're on a hill) for upper bedrooms but honestly I love everything inside the house being on one level. Maybe this couple think one level is 'too old' for them personally or they enjoy the free exercise of an upper floor. I liked House 1 a lot and 2 as well (loved the in-village location), Mystery was good too - (front steps are like my back steps lol).

Why do people want such large houses when they are aging.

@dawnb7457 10 ай бұрын

I'm concerned about all the steps for older buyers. It's an issue.

@jennyc1846 15 күн бұрын

I think just about everyone has made a similar comment.. you would think the producers of the show would consider it too, the couple did say they wanted to downsize too but were shown a 6 BR house on 3 levels.. I think the ETTC people just do what they want or they are all under 25 and don't care about the guests.

I'm surprised by this couple I thought they were going to be another difficult hard to please pair but Jonnie has done his work.. well done Jonnie (RIP darling)... but Mary your mystery house...no room to throw a ball for the dog...you are moving to the country my dear there is all the room in the world to throw that ball and isn't your hubby going to take it for lots of walks, it might prefer a rest, although there might not be much room for the children, but again step outside your property and enjoy the countryside with your family... Hubby appeared to have a slight walking problem how will he manage the stairs as time goes on? I'm always surprised when people in the UK 'downsize' or move to the country then they buy a 2-3 storey home...haven't a clue what they think if they move to Australia where the majority of homes are one one floor.. ***Watching this for a second time a year later, having just watched a second viewing in Rutland with Nikki. This couple downsizing and they show you a 6 BR house.. ETTC what were you thinking? Loved all of the houses they mystery.. again I ask why worry about the small garden when you will be away a lot of the time travelling and you moved to the country for places to walk and take the dog so why not just step outside your gate and go find a park? Something again totally different between the UK and Oz..UK folk seem to want kitchens with tables and dining rooms and 2-3-4 snugs, reception rooms call them what you will, you can only sit your bum on one chair at a time? In Oz we have a kitchen possibly or not with a table or stools around a bench and some have a dining room but not everyone and everyone has 1, a lounge room (snug etc) and 2-3-4 BR's mostly on 1 level. These days of course younger families are opting for more of everything including theatre room which I bet aren't used very often or a games room.. likewise I ? the use.. and they are now starting to go up a storey but still most new homes are on one level.. loved your humour Jonnie you are much missed.. love to your family xx Sorry I ramble folks cant help myself :)

Who needs SIX BEDROOMS in your retirement years? We bought three bedroom thinking our adult kids would come and visit and need a bed....did not happen. That mystery house had WAY too many stairs for aging or a disability-BE AWARE...Also its hard to heat a home over garages and its noisy.

From Canada. From what I understand from what I have heard before very few bungalows like here in Canada. If they do not request it why show them.
