The dream of a rural escape takes center stage in this Monday’s episode of “Escape to the Country.” Host Sonali Shah is on hand to guide a couple from New York City as they trade the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple for the tranquility of the Somerset countryside. Armed with what’s described as a “very healthy budget,” they’re ready to find their perfect slice of English charm.
The episode features a range of properties, from a classic Somerset longhouse to a converted water mill. It’s the water mill, in particular, that elicits a strong reaction from the buyers. Will its unique character win them over or send them searching for something different?
Sonali Shah’s expertise and the couple’s clear enthusiasm for a change of pace make this episode a must-watch for anyone considering their own rural retreat. “Escape to the Country” airs Monday, March 31st at 3:00 PM on BBC One.
