A couple’s surprise at a mystery house turns to disappointment as they make a sudden decision to walk away from it
London: So, there was this couple on Escape to the Country who were totally blown away by a mystery house. They were just minutes into the viewing when they were left speechless. It was a real surprise for them!
On the show, which aired on January 2nd, Nicki Chapman was helping Andy and Jo find a bigger place since they wanted to move from their flat in London to the East Midlands. They had a budget of £750,000 and were looking for a 3 or 4-bedroom detached house with some character.
They really wanted a spacious kitchen-diner or at least two good-sized rooms, plus a couple of workspaces. Nicki set up several homes for them to check out, and at first, it seemed like she might have missed the mark with the mystery house.
But once they stepped inside, their jaws dropped! Jo exclaimed, “Oh wow, this is unexpected,” and Andy was equally impressed, saying it looked like a holiday villa. They were just in awe of the place.
However, in a surprising twist, they decided it wasn’t the right fit for them after all. Andy mentioned that while the house had a modern vibe, they were really looking for something with more character and a countryside feel.
It’s a wild ride watching these house-hunting adventures, isn’t it? You never know what’s going to happen next!
