For many city dwellers, the dream of a quiet life in the countryside remains just that – a dream. But for one young couple featured on this Monday’s “Escape to the Country,” that dream is about to take a significant step toward reality. Presenter Nicki Chapman is in the Chiltern Hills, guiding the couple as they search for the perfect property to call home.
Their wish list is a familiar one: enough storage for hobbies, ample space for when loved ones come to visit, and of course, a healthy dose of that quintessential countryside charm. As Nicki shows them a selection of properties, each with its own unique character, the couple must weigh their priorities and decide which house best fits their vision of a rural escape.
Along the way, Nicki meets a local artist whose work captures the beauty and tranquility of the Chilterns. Juggling motherhood and her artistic passions, she offers a compelling example of the creativity and community spirit that often thrives in rural settings. Her segment is a welcome reminder that “escaping to the country” isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about embracing a different way of life.
“Escape to the Country” airs on BBC One, Monday, March 24th at 3:00 PM.
