Escape to the Country Season 17 Episode 27: Gloucestershire (2016) | FULL EPISODE

She was quite the character -- and the glint in her eye when Jules talked about a party made it clear she would never be one to decline an invitation!

[@susannortham11.11]

The mystery house, OMG, stunning!

[@conniekiers9554]

Ya, wasn't it just something else? Loved it

[@melissac.4374]

That mystery house is probably my favorite all time house. Oh gosh, I would take it in a heartbeat! And I'm a single woman! I'd just have family move in with me. :D

[@susansawatzky3816]

Ditto

[@wackthegood8884]

@@susansawatzky3816Double ditto! My fave of all time also. Change schools for heaven's sake! The son was only 7, and I'm sure they could have found another perfectly good school closer by. The lad would be out of school and away one day anyway, whereas that house could be lived in for a lifetime!

[@brownsand3482]

wow the mystery house is amazing...who would not love it❤❤😊😊

[@Odo55]

45 minutes school commute - What's the reason for even suggesting that mystery house ❓

[@hazelsmith5628]

House three was perfect for her and her son !

[@cherilynne1946]

I raised two sons and countless dogs. Boys and dogs can easily handle sloping terrain. Moms, on the other hand….

[@pamjeffers9402]

Thank you for letting us know what happened with Nikki. Even though the show is 45 minutes long, I fall in love with your costumers as I'm sure you do. I love knowing what they decide and what happens to them.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

What a house!! Those doorways and windows are spectacular! That first coach house in incredible BUT it would be the house or the shop dream.

[@nessnness]

This was the first time I felt they didn't do a good job with the houses. They didn't think about what she wanted and needed realistically.

[@valynteena]

The mystery house was a stunner. I still would want to modernise it a bit. With it

[@michellejones9741]

But WOW that mystery house was amazing. Love jewels

[@libbysingscontrezzo8419]

I loved the first house but agree a smaller version would have suited better. So much potential, though. The mystery house was to die for. I would have moved in and put the kid up for adoption. 😆 Whatever home she bought, you know she's going to do it up and resell in a couple of years. Big profit potential if you have the vision and skill, which she obviously does. Probably why she can afford the budget given, if she resold 7 homes in 6 years.

[@kobedeister5234]

Why not show the lady what she is looking for? She clearly stated what she was looking for?

[@ebookebook8149]

I enjoy watching your videos with my family on my smart TV, and I kindly request you to consider adding Arabic language translation to the subtitles. This would greatly enhance our understanding of the episodes. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[@j.c.linden]

So Mickey's first comment was not too much property and she HAD to be able to work on a house and make it her own. So she is shown a house with 3 acres, that is all slopes. She comments her son would find the hilly 3 acres too hard. So she is shown a property with an even steeper lot and almost none land at all. As if the son and dogs no longer need a yard? This made no sense! THEN she is shown the mystery house, 45 min. from the school she had chosen for her son AND it is grade 2 star listed. THIS for someone with a young son and who WILL want to put HER stamp on a house? Wow, if ever there were 3 houses that seem less suited to the clients wishes and needs!

[@ThePolypam]

Agreed. Incredibly off the mark.

[@brownsand3482]

all amazing..wow wow and wow...was wondering can it be scaled down abit to affordable prices..?? would love it thanks😊😊❤❤

[@brownsand3482]

😂😂😊😊❤❤that fantastic mediterrean home is astonishing

[@FigaroHey]

This was a WEIRD search. Why does a single mother need a GIGANTIC house for just herself and one small child? Every house is absurdly, wastefully HUGE, way too much work and property for one person to deal with. She should get a smaller, less wasteful house, and spend the rest of the money on a business property. I don't understand either the house-hunter or the houses offered. They are appropriate for a large, expanding family, not one woman, one kid and a small dog. It will take her all her time just cleaning and keeping up such a house as the mystery house. Ridiculous.

[@katecrossrhodes]

What business of it of yours?

[@merrim7765]

It seems the point of the video is actually showing available real estate -- for anyone interested.

[@valeriethomas769]

living in a big house is nicer than a small house. why do you think people with $$$ build big houses?

[@wackthegood8884]

I get the feeling she could have afforded a cleaner...

[@noelleewen2946]

@katecrossrhodes Stop. We all come to the comments to voice what we are thinking. I could say to you " what business is it of yours to question hers?"

[@forestgreen916]

reflections are cool : ) nice filming !

[@jennyc1846]

"My son is lazy he wouldnt cope with the sloping lawns"...really Mickey...he's only 7 and he has a dog, of course he would cope, he just needs to toughen up for heavens sake (too much city living) or are you going to send him off to a private school to be molly coddled????

[@traceymars]

I would buy that mystery house - wow what an opportunity

[@grahambatchelor3576]

Yet again the mystery house comes up trumps. However, most people find a house then look for the school. Here it was completely backwards which meant the mystery house went begging.... such a shame.

[@incensejunkie7516]

I suspect it is either a public school (called private for us North Americans) or perhaps her son has special needs and the school chosen fits him best.

[@gwenmangelson]

do you guys ever do a this is how they bought it and this is what they did to it shows?

[@PhilippeRenard]

You have the means, you have the opportunity to reach what is everyone's and obviously your dream and ... "nah, what the heck, I really want to be able to walk back from the pub and not to wake up too early to drop my son at school."

[@FigaroHey]

Finally, some sense! She's a single woman with one child. How is she going to CLEAN and keep up such massive houses as she's been offered? It's absolutely idiotic. I have a friend who is a working single mother of one child and she's overwhelmed keeping up with a normal attached house with two bedrooms, bath, WC, living room, dining room and kitchen plus garden. She's constantly having to have work done on the house or cleaning or decorating or gardening just to keep the house in good condition. But she worked as a single mother and paid it off in about 14 years. Sensible. Now her child is 20, at university, and she's getting the house ready to use as a rental while she moves on to her next stage of life - in a much smaller property, so her time isn't sucked away by the need to maintain and clean a family home.

[@AmiNa-nw5ld]

she has the means to hire a cleaner. ​@@FigaroHey

[@ThePolypam]

Do you expect someone to commute 3 hours a day for the school run? Don't you think it's absurd?

[@jude175]

45 minutes is too long for a child to have to go for school. I am wondering if someone is trying to offload a white elephant.

[@noelleewen2946]

Did i miss something? Who chooses a school first and builds a move around that? Of course when you're house hunting schools are a big priority but this seems nuts unless there was a certain reason which i missed. Not sure if her budget and expectations are ridiculous ot if im just jealous !😂

[@Naturebug12]

Having been raised in England, I am thinking he may be going to a private school, which there are less of and all have entrance exams/admission processes, so likely why she had to secure admission before finding housing

[@noelleewen2946]

@@Naturebug12 Okay, that makes sense. I guess. Thank you

[@bbgunn917]

He's probably going to Beaudesert - a private school you put your name down for at birth as is usual for the upper class.

[@cate284]

Why would any single mother of one child need that much space? I wasn't a fan of the first two homes. It would be fun to be lord and lady of the manor.

[@lucilaromero7444]

The houses offered are just ridiculous, with party rich mom in mind and not taking into consideration the child. Ridiculous.

[@jeanp5395]

What a very strange episode……lady Mickey???

[@pamellasmith2503]

Struggling to watch because of this woman 🙄

[@evamanbeck1380]

What's with all the fur?? Didn't she know even in 2016 that this is not a correct fashion statement.

[@Odo55]

Faux fur hopefully. She sure has alot of coats.

[@I.am.Michelle]

I know this has nothing to do with the show, but the fur she was wearing really distracted me! Why wear it, it's just cruel! The animals need their fur, we don't. It could be fake, I know, but I don't believe it! Nonetheless, thanks for sharing this old but gold episode!

[@cherilynne1946]

After reading your comment, I zoomed in on her coat. The fur looks fake. What WASN’T fake was the leather which the leather craftswoman used to make shoes, bags, etc.

[@I.am.Michelle]

She was wearing lots of coats with fur on them during this episode, plus the scarf and it looked very real to me. It is very difficult nowadays, to tell the difference as some use real fur and make it look fake, so they avoid being targeted. I guess we will never know, but mostly people with money buy designer clothes which have real fur on them. I do hope that people will think before they buy, does it need to be leather, fur (the absolute worst!), or down?! Those poor animals!💔
