[@forestgreen916]

what a gorgeous dress in the opening of the show ! go nicki !

[@bjbrown]

She is beautiful! I always love watching her videos.

[@lindataylor849]

Why would one mind a downstairs bedroom? The hesitation by the British about ground floor bedrooms baffles me.

[@davidweyant9356]

Especially as a person gets older and may have problems with stairs.

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

It's considered something of a plus in my part of the US to have a ground floor room that could become a bedroom so you can age in place. It's something I'll be looking for in my next house.

[@annsmith7207]

It would seem to be future - proofing feature while aging.

[@lzrd8460]

It does me as well. Most of the houses my family lived in as I was growing up were ground floor only so I quite like a bedroom on the ground floor. Especially as I’m in my seventies now.

[@kimscholten2369]

Possibly going to the loo in the middle of the night! I think it’s not the downstairs part , it’s the probability there is no upstairs one!

[@patriciamurray5189]

Fabulous sanctuary! Thank you, for your great work! 💕

[@julen2380]

Thanks for the upload! The episode itself, though, annoyed me to no end. Why would you show them properties close to an national park and the coast and then making it seem as if their budget is completely unrealistic? I hope this lovely couple simply continued its search and found their dream property!

[@jennyshaw5098]

Maybe they were in the area they wanted.

[@BritGirlJay]

Mystery house was.. colorful but I still liked it best.

[@farkleberry471]

Just love NIcki! Fun witty couple.

[@michellejones9741]

Not only are they showing them houses close to people which they said they didn't want, but 2 out of the 3 house were over budget.

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Why do they bother asking what the budget is, and then totally ignore it? They might have to consider a different location i.e. budget. Northumbria? The Hebrides? Saved by the mystery house????

[@valynteena]

None of the houses appealed to me but the mystery house was close. It had a nice kitchen, potential for a bigger living room and 60k left over in the budget to update and make changes. Personally I will prefer to knock the small guest room into the family bathroom to make a master ensuite, then put a small wet room in the current master, then create an entrance to the downstairs wet room from outside the kitchen so that the downstairs bedroom can use that, then the study could house a sofa bed and be a potential 4th bedroom.

Love our lovely Nikki in a dress. Good woman. From 60% of the female population of the world. Norfolk not bad either 😂

[@seattlebeard]

I've learned "food for thought" is Britain's polite way of saying "we're not interested."

[@tinacollins2055]

Here we go again! This couple wants a house that isn't really close to other houses. What are they shown for the first house and the mystery ? SEMI-DETATCHED. Now they will have people living with them sharing walls in their house. Small gardens and over budget. GEEZE

[@07laines07]

Well there is something to be said for what is actually available for sale at the time that the episode is filmed.

[@katecrossrhodes]

Do you watch this show just for the whine opportunity?

[@beejayvandegriendt3632]

They show them the closest match to their requirements in budget.

[@inthehouse1960]

Wake up call, folks. You want a big detached house with land and an annex in an expensive county with a 400k budget. When I heard that I thought, wah-wah, prepare to be disappointed. I think the show does its best to be realistic for people with unrealistic expectations. I wouldn't want their job.

[@fredcheok9199]

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

[@MrQbenDanny]

Nobody really knows what they want. 😅 until they see it.

[@denisemariner1235]

I would have my clippers out, taking down ivy and shrubs. Sadly they would kick up my asthma. Like the mystery house.

[@sechabamotloli4156]

All the homes were underwhelming.

[@dale9706]

Lovely host but she seriously has no idea. I'm not sure who sources the properties but when she is hosting the properties seem consistently to miss the mark or be over budget. In fact over budget AND lacking some requirements.

[@07laines07]

When people pick an expensive area and don’t put a rational budget in to buy the wished for property, and add to that what is available at the time and this is what that looks like.

[@julen2380]

Completely agree! And over budget because they picked the most expensive part of the county. I'm sure their budget would have stretched a lot further more in-land.
