The dream of a tranquil rural life takes center stage this Monday as “Escape to the Country” ventures into the picturesque county of Suffolk. Presenter Briony May Williams assists a young family looking to swap their cramped London flat for a spacious home in the countryside, a place with enough room for their two children to thrive. Their wish list includes a large kitchen and, crucially, ample outdoor space.
The property lineup features a blend of traditional and modern homes, including a mystery house steeped in history – boasting six centuries worth of stories, some even etched onto its very walls. Briony also meets a local baking enthusiast, digging into his cake business and supper club, which he operates from his own home. It’s a taste of the vibrant community the family could become a part of.
Will the family find their perfect country retreat amongst the Suffolk properties? Find out when “Escape to the Country” airs Monday, 19 May at 3:00 PM GMT on BBC One.
