I Escaped to the Country offers a comforting dose of rural escapism this Monday, revisiting two sets of house hunters who successfully traded city life for the countryside. Jules Hudson catches up with a couple who made the leap to Devon in 2023, checking in on their progress and their ambitious business plans. Meanwhile, Denise Nurse heads to Northumbria, where she finds the home of buyers she helped in 2022 dramatically transformed.
The Devon couple, fueled by dreams of a new life and a fresh business venture, provide a compelling example of the show’s core premise: making a life-altering change. Their story offers a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of rural entrepreneurship. In Northumbria, Nurse’s visit reveals not just a renovated property, but also the deeper impact of moving closer to family.
I Escaped to the Country airs Mondays at 3:00 PM on BBC One.
