Escape to the Country : North Devon [13: 2] - Habits Of Local Communities 

Same here...i want to live here in one of these beautiful old homes with the history, the roses & wisteria over the door, and old mill or converted barn....'sigh'..

Me too!

I certainly hope your wish comes true. I've been homesick for 26 years Kim USA Expat South Africa 🇿🇦

@@rebeccamcdonald4884 So is Scotland, but I'm pretty sure she knows that.

@@rebeccamcdonald4884 🙄 and we're not pals.

If ever you decide to visit you would be welcome here to stay

@@stevenvitali7404 Thank you

OMG the Cotswolds are right out of a fairy tale! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

W sheep

I love the beautiful 15 & 16 century villages/towns. Especially medieval/Tudor style homes I would love to live in England. I hate when people renovate these old treasures into contemporary style designs. I wish they would just restore them to close to what they looked like (of course you need the indoor plumbing, heating & electricity...things like that). I love the look of the beautiful wooden beams and thatched roofs. Dang I would love to afford to move to either England, Scotland or Wales (my great grandpa was from Wales and Great Granny was from England and I have family from Scotland!)

Artlover No shit Sherlock. I’m not delusional. There’s homelessness everywhere in every city, village, town, county, parish, state country in the world! There’s no reason to assume someone is an idiot or not realistic....all I did was make a comment on the beauty and history of the UK

Artlover Not touchy at all. And the way your comment was written was very condescending. And I doubt that all homeless people in villages are cares for. Normally they are given a ticket to another city so that they can live on their streets. And before you make another condescending comment ...I do know this as fact. I have family and friends who reside in small villages - to large cities in the UK. Have a brilliant and safe day!

You would probably have to downsize. Property is expensive in the U.K. I live in North Devon near the second house. It’s like being on permanent holiday. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

@@Lambchop2701 How blessed you are to live there I am here in usa. If I had the money I move there in a hart beat my grandma morecraft was from England and what i am looking at sure is lovely. And you are surely are blessed.and where i am living I am very blessed too my home is beautiful i got more than i deserved..

How cool.

Mine too in fact this show is just about the only thing I do watch.

Me too. Especially when it's mentioned that the kitchen has a garden view! Haha!

Yes cruel when they need a big garden.

I do too

This couple had quite a low budget. It's hard to give anyone their complete wish list when they don't have enough money to make that happen.

I had to stretch my budget when I gave my brief to my real estate agent. I got everything I thought I wanted - but I do still have work to do on my place to truly make it mine!

LOL! I got a house that had everything I wanted and I still want to make changes!

@@EMSpdx I think it would be rare to find a home already built with exactly what everyone wants. Wish lists vary and one person may want this and this, while another may want this and that. I for one hate dishwashers but it's rare any more to find a home without. They're out there but if it doesn't have a dishwasher it's probably missing something else I DO want. Your best bet for a perfect house is to have one built. But that's okay. I may want turnkey but I would still want to put my own stamp on it as well.

The exact house that people think they want doesn't always come on the market in the area they've chosen. I think they do a good job for the most part. Often when they do find the perfect house the couple doesn't buy it anyway. I just watch for myself and dream. I don't really care what the house hunters do. I find so many of them outrageously spoiled and picky.

Oh yes, several times. There's even a spin-off series calles I Escaped to the Country, where they visit people who've bought one of the houses shown to them to see how they're getting on.

@@Neldidellavittoria thank you SO much ......I watched an episode of I escaped .....it was wonderful to see people in their new homes. Thanks for answering ☺

@@Neldidellavittoria 'several times' what, all 6 of them ?

@@MrDaiseymay Six what? Them what? A number of times people have actually bought one of the houses shown to them on the programme, that's what I meant. I don't understand your question.

Yes they have and I do hope you can feel much better now! Enjoy

I would think because what has been made into living places for humans used to be farm buildings of some sort, and making them into 2 homes gives them more of a scope for people to do what they want with it like when a person comes along and has the money to make a handsome offer to the people on the other side of attached 2 different homes. And I thought the very same thing 2 days ago then I thought about a good reason they have what we in the U.S. would see only in a town or city. And it does solve a certain situation which could be older people spending part of the year traveling and don't have anyone to watch their home for them,like having a built-in babysitter very close by. Sorry but Just Saying.

A lot of picturesque villages don't have petrol stations in them they'll be in the nearbye town or on the outskirts and fire stations are usually only in the large local towns ☺️

@@beth1862 Thanks for the info.

Yes, it is a rather pressing problem, if you run out of fuel you have to set a day aside to walk to the nearest town for some fuel

+Oracle X: All Pre-Programmed buzz-words for them to say to attract the audience and also sales-pitch techniques such as: The WOW-factor/Light & Airy/Period Features/Potential/Guys/Ta-Dah!/ etc etc....every episode lol....but great viewing every time as well....We do often wonder how young/old, people seem to come up with huge sums of money....especially kid-couples that clearly haven't worked all their lives....2 scenarios i came up with was: 1: Winnings....and 2: Inheritance....the only 2 major ways, otherwise its combining wealth having the right start and jobs....

How about wowza?

@@Spike0000 After watching the show for several year, I notice Brits say "fantastic" a lot. Not a word I hear used as much in the states....but I notice myself saying it more. LOL

I don’t think too many Brits would say “Yippeee!”.

Crime rate ? well , it inspired 'Midsummer Murder's'' for a start.

Look up "Killer in My Village". It's a show all about countryside village killers.

That's where the commercial would go. Be glad you don't have to listen to that.

Huh?

Alas, Alex's channel was shut down a couple of times on copyright claims, so this is a copy of that old channel.
