Escape to the Country: Shropshire [Series 14: 28] - Habits Of Local Communities 

Despite the other comments, I am happy that ETTC took on the project of finding options with a lower budget. Most of all, the opportunities for this fresh faced couple chasing down their dream. I say cheers to the lot of you, for all wonders great & small.

Jules is such a lovely show host. One of the all-time best. Makes it so enjoyable to watch.

Some of you seem to be unable to see the bigger picture! Sure 60k isn't enough for THAT reno however, the show obviously sees the bigger picture where a lot of people use the show to understand what they really want. Jules showed them two finished houses on their budget (fairly unimpressive) and showed them the potential to buy cheaper and renovate, which they liked but may never have considered. They are young and active, it opened their eyes to potential. I think it was an awesome to show them the chapel.

that first place is small even for people used to living in a van!

I stayed at a B&B a few minutes walk from Ebenezar's gravestone. What a wonderful town!!! It would be great to live here.

young and with dreams...I like that.

Have you seen the (Money Pit) with Shelly Long & Tom Hanks ? I hope they are living happily ever after.🌺🐾🐾🧘‍♀️🇬🇧🇨🇦

Watching in 2021 - wish ETTC would do more lower priced homes instead of retirement folks.

I noticed at the mystery house Ross stood with the umbrella and let Wendy and Jules get wet 🌧

What a lovely couple.

...and the distance to work with that third option was, surprisingly, never brought up on camera.

Jules's phrase in the conclusion "clear cultural identity" sticks in my mind.

the wind sounds like the ocean

Very sweet couple ❤️

Wendy is so shy (: How cute.

No no no no you don't need the challenges of the mystery house when you are so active you don't need this no there's too much insulation everything it's a huge challenge don't you underestimate that

2013-when a young person could actually afford a home. These properties are now probably worth well over half a million…

No way would they get that chapel done with £60,000. Wrong of the show to suggest it.

Really? offering them a dream come true chapel with only 60k to spend... sounds like another money drama episode of renovation home or grand design in wich ppl get into debt massivly

Hi sophy, loved your escape to the country upload and there's a great instrumental track played from 17:43 into the video while jules talks. kindly share the artist and song title, Many thanks!.

Bad Mystery House for such a low budget.

Small cottages aren't a good idea for somebody as tall as that young man. Everytime he passed through a door he had to bend his head to one side. Ridiculous! he'd spend all his time going to the ER to have stitches put in his scalp.

Horrified that this couple were shown a renovation project when they have so little to spend. Where were they supposed to live while work was being done? Renovations are for people who can afford to undertake them........

I would go for the house that was210 the brick build one I like the countryside my ancestors lived there

Why would you show someone tall doors that they have to duck to get through???

That chapel would lend itself to adaptation easily, but £60,000 would not be enough, even with DIY and help from friends. Professional fees, building materials, and the various specialist trades would gobble up that budget and more. But I do like the can-do attitude of this young couple. Probably the right approach would be to build and finish what rooms they were able to, and leave others as a shell until money allowed for a second and third push. We did that with our Tudor cottage, and saved a lot of money in the process. My wife learned a few building skills along the way!

My favorite show in all of TV land is "Escape to the Country". I absolutely LOVE the English countryside and touring those cozy old farm houses. I even imagine that I am living in one now! LOL But there is one type of house that is making me upset... these are the converted churches. I just don't understand why so many church building are up for sale in England as possible homes! The idea of living in a former Chapel just send chills down my spine.. Am I crazy? Am I alone? Psalm 84 says... "How amiable are Thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God."

Filmed May 2013.

Cute couple.

The video is garbled with repeats of some parts and does not even show 3rd property.

ONLY the second house is good.

Scotland for me!I thought Scrooge was a Scot!

A couple of children with toys missing a couple of good opportunities to grow into adults with a good home.

How can anyone displaying such a bad taste have his property presented on TV? The decoration was just awful, and so was the tidiness!

i will go for the mystery house

Nah Jules thumbs down on all three properties. I know they didn't have the money that most geezers have that come on this show, however there has to be houses that have bigger rooms. None of them were any better than what they lived in already, if they had outgrown that one they certainly outgrown all of these. I felt sorry for them, not a great show.

I didn't like either of the three !

I f

I didn’t warm to the couple at all… She looks gloomy and social care… The house choices were absolutely dire to suggest that the chapel could be renovated for £60,000 was laughable

much as I enjoy the escape aspect of this show, this episode was a real downer...too young, too little budget and rather dismal offerings. Why put this episode on the air? It's off the mark of the show.

When people have to think about it, it’s a « no »

Find them houses they want and stop going over budget!

The first couple that are looking for a home, are they sure they aren't each others brother and sister? Both their facial features looks as if they are products of that old fashion home grown inbreeding going on there. I have also come to this conclusion because neither one of them can carry on a full sentence with the host, more less a whole conversation.
