Escape to the Country

Although they don't want to move any great distance, the beautiful Berkshire countryside will be a far cry from busy Slough, where today's young couple is moving from. With a baby on the way, they want more space than their current flat provides, and Ginny Buckley is on hand to help them find the right house for their growing family. She also discovers what some of the residents in the region are doing to combat the increasing issue of river pollution.

Sonali Shah is in the magnificent countryside of Northumberland, helping three generations of the same family to make an escape from Leicester and find a new rural home together.

While she's there, Sonali also meets up with an artist who takes her inspiration from the four-legged residents of the farm she escaped to.

There's no place quite like Argyll and Bute, or so says Denise Nurse's buyer, who wants to return there from Kent.

Taking a break from the house hunting, Denise hops on a ferry to the Isle of Bute to meet an artist who takes his inspiration from the landscape and the wildlife that lives there.

Nicki Chapman is in the magnificent Cairngorms, property shopping with a couple who, after exploring the UK in their camper van for the last two years, have decided that the Scottish countryside is where they want to settle.

Nicki also visits a company making sustainable, timber frame houses from locally sourced materials, before meeting the proud owners who live in one of them.
