Hosted by Jonnie Irwin, the episode introduces us to three couples who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and make a new home in the peaceful surroundings of Berkshire.
The first couple, Jo and Chris, are looking for a home with plenty of outdoor space for their two dogs to run around in. They also want to be close to amenities, such as local shops and good schools. Jonnie takes them to view a stunning period property in the village of Chieveley, which boasts five bedrooms and a large garden perfect for their furry friends.
Next up are city dwellers Sian and Paul, who are looking for a quintessential country home with plenty of character. Jonnie shows them around a charming thatched cottage in the picturesque village of East Garston. With exposed oak beams and a large open fireplace, the property ticks all their boxes, but will it be within their budget?
Finally, Jonnie meets up with Dean and Lea, who have sold their city flat and are looking for a spacious family home in the countryside. They are hoping to find a property with a large garden for their children to play in, as well as easy access to good transport links. Jonnie takes them to view a beautiful five-bedroom house in the village of Upper Bucklebury, which has stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
Throughout the episode, Jonnie showcases the stunning landscapes and rich history of Berkshire. From the ancient woodland of Bucklebury Common to the impressive ruins of Donnington Castle, viewers are given a taste of the county's natural beauty and cultural significance.
As always, the episode culminates with each of the couples revealing their chosen property and their decision to escape to the country.
