Escape to the Country - Wiltshire

[Music] today we will share and this is the attractive market town of Bradford upon Ivan there's been a settlement here by this river for over 2,000 years in fact the town gets its name from the term broad floors now it's just this river itself that's key to the whole areas prosperity with attractive architecture spanning saxon georgian line the way through the industrial revolution periods but as you're about to see this is just one snapshot of money that this fascinating county has to offer known as the Gateway to the West Country London lots Wiltshire is bordered by several counties including Somerset Berkshire and Hampshire it's a region of contrasts from its ancient sites such as Stonehenge said to have taken 30 million man-hours to construct to the famous white horses itched into its hillsides it's thought the oldest at west braid was first carved into the steep rocky slopes in the late 1700s and it's certainly a great vantage point for views across the stunning countryside Bullards expansive Plains give way to an eye-catching carpet of rich green fields in the Vale of Pusey an area of outstanding natural beauty the County's architecture is as historic as its landscape ranging from attractive white in the frame cottages and thatched roofs and Georgia style red brick townhouses to rather more decorative facades with feature windows it's prehistoric monuments beautiful rural terrain and traditional architecture Wiltshire offers the complete country package for aspiring Eska peas [Music] but as you might expect the prettiness of wiltshire does come at a cost the average price of a detached house here in the county currently stands at just under three hundred and twenty thousand pounds which is around twelve percent above the national average but then this bear quite just yet there are variations within the county and if you want your budget just wretch that bit further you're better off heading towards the west of Wiltshire and the Somerset border so who are today's buyers and why are they been tempted by the wilds of will share let's meet him I'll find out form a dental nurse elspeth and her retired dentist husband Roberts from warning him and Surrey were in rather a compromising position during their first encounter over four decades ago we met over a patient when I was a dental student at Guy's Hospital and she was 19 she was tall slim beautiful with long brown hair and so I spotted her immediately yeah we started going out January 1973 they were married five years later and now have two grown-up children we've got a gorgeous son people man that and they got a gorgeous daughter called Heather and the magic bit about the two kids is the fact that they both had children within six weeks of each other so we've gone from not being grandparents at all to having to the most beautiful little grandchildren were very proud of them our grandparents Elspeth and Rob have lived in their four-bedroom Surrey bungalow for twenty years but are more than ready for a change I think houses got to the stage where it's a little bit big for us because when we moved in there were four of us whereas now we rattle around a bit don't we all it's family ties pulling them towards the west well we're looking at smooth near the bradford-on-avon area to be close to our daughter Heather and my mum and your mum know it's a beautiful area and it's just time for a change I'd like to live down there and then I can be a proper granny and help out you know it should be super you can be a proper granddad you know there's our son lives in West London so sort of being out in that corridor on the m4 corridor would really be brilliant because it would take maybe hour and a half to get up to West London perfect mmm then we can be do the granny on the other child this sporty pair are also looking forward to enjoying hobbies like rowing closer to home I've racked up about 120,000 miles in one car just going to the Boat Club and back I'd love to jump on a buying cycle to the boat that that would be my dream Elspeth has a love of horses and is an accomplished Rider but nowadays shares in Rob's sporting passion I join Robert in learning how to row about 15 years ago and fell in love with that - but that's not all else bits got plans to get green-fingered and they're both looking forward to making the most of their new country surroundings with their dogs going what's more Rob's pride and joy his classic sports car will also need a new shelter with this move so with their house on the market and a zest for life they can't wait to be closer to family an area they love and a future of possibilities we've really enjoyed being here loved every minute of it but we're going to love new adventures and doing different stuff that's what we want it's because we don't want to miss our own children growing up and they're only young once once our grandson is the love of my life and so to be able to just pop in and give him a cuddle and say goodnight to him and then just assume home again he's but beard joy although being closer to family is a draw for Elspeth and Rob to move closer to bradford-on-avon they're looking to settle in the peaceful surrounding countryside before we start our search I'm catching up with him here to find out more about their property aspirations so family bringing you here but what is it about this part of the world that is capturing your imagination then Rob it's half way to the west country where we like going down to there's a particularly good rowing club here talk me through the kind of village you would like to live in from now then quite sort of smallish perhaps a good pub yeah a little post office perhaps convenience store maybe even where people no no it's um it's community or after them you want to be part of that of course no then let's talk about the house itself what does it look like I mean this county has just amazing architecture you want a piece of that old Oh feel Travel is that if it's too old he's too tall yeah okay yeah I think we're very anxious that do we have a property that doesn't require a huge amount of maintenance okay and it would be nice to have a good view now views I mean these hues are important to both of you want that yeah and somewhere quiet right okay so we don't want to be on a main road or a cut through okay that's very enough that's quite important now size of property you've got your sign up in West London yeah I'm gonna be coming down to visit yeah with grandchildren how many bedrooms minimum three bed okay it would be lovely to have a big entertaining space because we're quite big people mm-hmm last kitchen you not only tied me down as to exactly what style of property you're after light light or light inside an elastic okay we need somewhere to park cars and perhaps have a double garage how essential is this go out to a quite essential because my car rusts like mad so everyone get away with a single garage could yeah finally what's the budget 800,000 palpitate hunt which is a very healthy budget in a pretty expensive part of the world but I think we can get there other about yeah sure we go this way Elsbeth on Rob's budget of 800,000 pounds is extremely healthy for this neck of the woods so I'm feeling pretty confident as we get our search underway there was a manageable house and garden but being a sociable couple it must be geared up for entertaining with a large light kitchen they're flexible on staff but needs three bedrooms a large garage for Rob's classic cars and a quiet location with fabulous views we've assembled a fantastic mix of properties that sent Elspeth and Rob with but the all-important price will only be revealed after they've explored each house the final visit to the mystery property will offer this gregarious pair a grandiose option in which to accommodate their visiting family and friends we're kicking off our trip round we'll share in the village of Causley which is half an hour away from Elsbeth and rubs family in bradford-on-avon the nearest towns a warminster to the east and Froome to the west the countryside surrounding Causley is rich and green with the villages quiet narrow lanes bordered by hedges behind which and many attractive properties there are plenty of great spots for dog walks and there's a local pub nearby just over a five minute walk from the pub and we're at this rather imposing property quite different to anything else in the area [Music] now then you're after a property of size I think this could do the job yes I think I like that it's got an Alpine starter yeah in a ski resort in Austria yeah okay this property is of an exceptionally high standard the current owners designed and built it 16 years ago and chose everything down to the materials right then now for Rob you'll be pleased here behind that door is a boot room and a double garage downstairs no I think this is your most impressive room and house what a lovely bedroom mm-hmm well this is fantastic yes I like this it's a really really good space let me walk you through because the flow is really good in this house right now if you were to get your guests out of the way I think this is a perfect room to do it in are still being connected against spilling out a really nice terraced area there isn't it but if you want to be cozy this is the one to do it okay they only call this their best room what do you think of it yes I think it's a nice room space is the most important things and you've got plenty that upstairs so coming back okay up a winding stairway leading to a gallery London there's a family bathroom with a skylight and four double bedrooms one currently induces a study another that's dual aspect then there's a cozy double we're heading for the largest of the four which takes in some fabulous views now the master bedroom as you would expect his ensuite with a big wardrobe just through those double doors as well great lots of lots of storage that's good yeah yeah excellent size I was hoping this would be plenty of room pee yeah yeah this is plenty big enough okay these have been pretty good reactions so far yeah I'll let you have a scooter on the house later on let's go out to the front of the house okay and we'll start talking about price [Music] it's at the front where the majority of the slightly sloping manicured garden is found with a lawn also wrapping around the side of the house what's more there are decked areas which on a bright day of real Sun traps and at the rear of the property is the double garage and also the fantastic views so as you can see this house has been designed with socializing and a bit of outdoor living in mind but also being able to escape from the weather and the various that's a good idea excellent idea so after a brief look around this house let's guess the price I want to go first else's first I would say 785 okay I'm gonna go lower some fifty well Rob you're closest but you'll both be pleasantly surprised because your asking price for this place is offers around six hundred and seventy-five thousand Wow well well why ash that's a lot of house for your money go back inside the house give it give it a good go you know how's that shut amongst yourselves could you imagine yourselves in this house long term I know me you and have you done okay okay this bespoke designed Chalet style stone house has a price tag that said jaw-dropping 125,000 pounds below Robyn else best budget and delivers them all the space and light they're looking for there's a great entertaining kitchen and one more bedroom than they asked for Rob gets his essential double garage here and there are also those sought-after countryside views what's more the village location is perfect for community life it's sort of property although it's modern its it would suit us very well we're very flexible on which style of property we have yes I quite like this property immediately we came down the drive I thought well it looks like an Austrian sort of house and a ski resort but when we went inside I was quite impressed with the amount of space initially I think Elson that I've both had the same sort of tastes when it comes to houses and usually she's always right so lots of rooms to look around and decorates maybe configure absolutely and maybe you'd make use of review out the back it does seem a bit wasted doesn't that mean I know it's south-facing but that is a tremendous view yes and it's just such a shame not to maximize alright and you know me in my view I know I'm trying to learn well hopefully this is giving you something to think about ok [Music] when they make their move to the bradford-on-avon area Elsbeth and Robin looking forward to making the most of the River Avon and the Canada knave and canal which both wind through the town as keen rowers for years they've now got their sights set on kayaking and have come to me expert kayaking coach Mike purchase at the bradford-on-avon rowing and canoeing Club to learn how to master one of the fastest growing sports in the UK okay Robert I think this ideal size for you and ideal size you should better just reach up to the top my club has over 150 members and has been running since 1873 its most famous alumni is British athlete ed McKeever who won a gold medal for kayaking at the 2012 Olympic Games and there's a golden post boxing bradford-on-avon to commemorate his achievement but there'll be no racing today Elsbeth and Rob are going on their maiden voyage in a wide and stable kayak perfect for beginners or novice pair of confidence swimmers but there are still safety measures to take what happens if we capsize if you capsize leave the kayak upside-down because that contains of air inside and then swim to the end of the kayak and then try and bring it into the bank in this case I'll be there to help you with the safety briefing over it's time to learn how to hop on the board step into the sense of the tire yep and then take yourself down and then you're ready to go fine well Mike's made it look easy and it's Elspeth who's up first if I get your left leg in if you can that's good try and get your bum down quickly one hand on the bank hold on to the cockpit one hand on to the bank yep yep try and lower yourself down slowly that's good yeah okay how's that feel okay Mike's got 55 years kayaking under his belt and loves sharing his passion for the sport [Music] how does that feel yeah I'm getting it feeling a bit happier okay look not quite you know basic paddling stroke is into the side of the kayak in then out another important stroke is knowing how to stop then if you're paddling forward you just for all anchors on and then babbit this stretch of the river Raven is very flat and calm providing perfect conditions to learn to kayak as well as providing a beautiful study in that is it great stick yeah I always wants a new challenge oh this is definitely gonna be one [Music] oh we found a new sport we're hoping at a new house any new sport that'd be fantastic and after a mile and a half round trip they're back where they started what are your thoughts it felt a bit scary to start with but you seem to kind of get the feeling and you get your balance a bit yeah yeah yeah you're going along like a train you look professional they're really good it was really great it's good being on the water and yeah it couldn't be nicer thank you so much for your time really appreciate it [Music] it's day two of our Wiltshire house hunts and armed with an eight hundred thousand pound budget we're seeking out a country home for new grandparents Elspeth and Rob that locates them closer to family in Wiltshire and I've still got an overwhelming mystery option of my sleeve it's like a baronial whole of its my James Plus I'll be getting up close to a culinary Wiltshire tradition you can see now why it tastes why all tasty beautiful well what I've learnt so far from Elspeth and Rob is they'd like a house to have views and that house well it needs to be as big as possible and I think the outlet will certainly improve with our next house but moving forward to our mystery property if I can see past the lack of Vista they will be rewarded by a huge property certainly big enough for all that entertaining they plan to do but before that our next stop is the village of Westwood around two miles from bradford-on-avon and just 15 minutes from Elspeth and Rob's daughter Watford really showcases that attractive bath stone which includes its magnificent medieval church whose distinctive and beautifully carved stone tower can be seen for miles around back in Westford there's a great village pub just over a 5-minute walk from our next house which has a story to tell along with fabulous panoramic views I think I want you to come inside let's get a real first impression of this place it's an old school ok mid 19th century what's going to you mind what do you think yeah like the look of it from the outside it looks unusual a bit quirky quite playing quite playing I think the way it's been converted over the years he's very sympathetic but it's almost be converted with you both in mind what are your first impressions when you walked through that gate where's the garage wow that could be a garage but that is now a fantastic office with amazing views the guy who lives here you can take over the rental of his garage in the village excellent yeah well that sounds good I only slight reservation is parking for cars where two guests park when they come and see you is this the only bit of garden it is yeah look you've got to cut parking spaces there if you really wanted I think you just you could pull cars in here depends how much got a new one but there is a bit of outside space that goes around the house right okay and we didn't really want that much gardening to do well perfect good actually it's ideal just one step backwards once that falls over the lawn now let's go inside fantastic the original part of this property was built in 1841 from local stone it was a primary school until 1976 and became a family home ten years later we're going back to school through the door which used to be the boys entrance we've got a really nice entrance hall with an office off it and then straight into your huge living heart fantastic I like this oh that's a business this is super and it's nice and quiet in here you can't really hear the road the house is orientated away from that road up takes a few of our boxes I say good good this way next door serves up a huge bright kitchen dinette which I'm sure they'll like okay I like it lovely family area I like it a lot actually and that's the old girls entrance which they turn into utility room so all the governs is out of the way domestic bliss so far Johnny I think you might be on a winner here well hope so what all do we'll walk out through this way and go upstairs the bedrooms follow Hamilton [Music] also on the ground floor and keeping the old school memories alive is a cloakroom once the school secretary's office and still furnished with the original quarry floor tiles moving upstairs there's a large family shower room and four bedrooms a decent sized double along with a slightly more snug one with a skylight there's also a bright double with feature windows that benefits from a light bright ensuite finally at the back of the house is an expansive double with a row of Windows that allows in lots of lights and those priceless countryside views well this bedroom is the one that certainly gets the views oh wow that's fantastic I'll be cross inspired in here I think I just want to jump on the bed and peer out there right now you should always get up in the morning that's the thing isn't it what's the fear what's the vibe you're getting because you haven't bought a house for 20 odd you know do you like the vibe the house gives I'm getting the same vibes that I got when we bought our last place and it's just has a nice feel to the place it all sort of cozy could you imagine us living here I certainly could really Oh brilliant well this sounds very encouraging let's go back downstairs and just sort of soak up these views but also start thinking how much this house costs thank you outside there's a terrace surrounded by well planted shrubs and flower beds with spectacular views as far as the eye can see although this property may not have the largest garden it does have plenty of great little spots from where to soak up the surrounding views including a hot tub look at that view that is stunning and I wanted to commune with the sky and short can look over there that's the Westby horse look oh wow and I used to have a white horse too oh it's an omen okay so it's time to guess the price I would say 685 okay Beth can you do any better I would say 725 you're in for a bit of a shock then this place is on the market for offers around 795 quite a bit above your guess is interesting but these are the best reactions you've had whatever house yeah definitely there's been your lowest guess I think it's big ever hopeful could this be the house for you at the right price could well be well we'll find out later go back inside and I'll catch you in a minute okay this converted school built from Bath stone has lodged in at 5,000 pounds of under Elspeth and Rob's top budget and still manages to offer them practically everything they're looking for in a desirable spot close to their relatives the kitchen diner and living room are both perfect for entertaining and upstairs there's one more bedroom than they asked for the garden is a manageable size with wonderful views and although the garage has been transformed into an office there is the option of renting a nearby shelter from Rob's car and the village location is ideal when I was with the front door I just thought wow it's got that wow factor or space it's so light and the view is stunning but the house itself the rooms are as I say beautifully spacious and I could really see all our things here [Music] so all done inside absolutely they still beaming still beaming yes good well hopefully this is something to really consider time now for something different [Music] for our final visit to the Mystery House were journeying to the village of kingdoms of Michael it's just over 11 miles from Elspeth and Rob's daughter near Bradford and Haven and just over three miles from the market town of Chippenham kington said Michael is a thriving village offering residents a chance to really become part of the busy local community within its Club its own Hall cafe shop at the pub in the middle of the village we find our mystery house which might be slightly further from the family than Elspeth and Rob would like but I'm hoping the space and style and offer here makes this outstanding property worth the journey so let's get the impression that's coming - we'll share it almost to the manor born yes and this is as close to Manor as I could get you because the manor house is there and we're gonna be looking around the old coach house oh wow that looks fantastic that has wow factor she's a beauty isn't she good yeah okay although the mystery property sits in the shadow of the neighbouring manor house it's by no means modest in size the oldest part of this old coach house dates back to the late 1700s with various later additions including the handsome Georgian facade we're entering this single-story part of the property turning left heading straight to the kitchen at the back of the main part of the house first of all you think well this is it it's quite long and thin almost galley-style isn't it but it gets better as we walk through now pausing just here I know you like flow and open plan that's a pretty room isn't it next door to the dining room is a sunny breakfast room running from the front to the back of the house with French windows to the garden at one end and a picture window of the other with a sweeping spiral stairway in the center now look at this space here well I think I'd have this is the main kitchen yeah what do you he's crying out for it definitely through here a living room coming though okay the large living room adjoining the open-plan breakfast room is also on a grand scale a rather quirky Mystery House has certainly come up trumps with space okay so I don't like big living room to like I don't like big everything really don't you yes my gone for a big house husband so he fits in here Danny yes this is a big room a little bit I suppose Sol this is a word that comes to mind for me well you asked for space and you've got it but this is a true mystery house he's got you thinking it's like a baronial hole of that it's my James it's a big then no no no it's lovely I think it's too big the extensive living space here is beginning to stray beyond elspeth comfort zone but there's even more to explore on this expansive floor there's a single-story wing comprising a games room plus a double bedroom with ensuite along with a utility room our mystery house has begun to divide their opinion but perhaps the upstairs will unite them once more there's a stylish family shower room and three bedrooms a double at the back a large double at one side of a house and on the other side of a gallery London is the master bedroom with his own ensuite now you get two equal sized bedrooms either end or the upstairs but I think this has the nice of you over the manor oh gosh that's beautiful isn't it now bedroom size-wise is just the right size perfect you seem quite happy here is massive I could see me here we come lord of the manor well you pretty close to it I like something a bit different I think I would be rattling around wishing people were here apart from obviously I thoroughly enjoy your company come down stay long weekends that'd be wonderful let's go outside look at the outside space and start having a think about price okay well Elspeth seems daunted by the space inside Rob already has visions of family staying but we've still got the garden to inspect it's of a reasonable size completely manageable and thoughtfully designed around a large walled courtyard there's plenty of space for parking plus Rob's all-important garage now outside space you probably get as much as we've seen actually low maintenance I love it people didn't used to call you Lord Pinkney Beckham well it's it's been fun looking around the place now you've got to try and price it who wants to go first I think I'm gonna guess this one bang on the nail I would say it's over budget about 850 875 okay yep it's so beautifully darden it's a magnificent property I think Mike Rob I think I would say 820 it's on the market for off at around seven hundred and eighty-five thousand pounds oh gosh you get an awful lot of property for your money don't you goodness so you know the price go back inside discover it fighting amongst yourselves mark when you thought all right cinema but mystery coach-house is a surprising 15,000 pounds below Elspeth and Rob's budget the supersize proportions give them a wealth of open planned bright spaces they wanted and it's perfect for entertaining there's one more bedroom than they asked for and outside there's a low-maintenance attractive courtyard garden what's more Rob gets his garage and there's a thriving community on their doorstep a mystery house I think is absolutely incredible it's huge but I think the practicalities are needing to heat it clean it fill it with people and fill it with life it feels to me as though it's just waiting for a lovely family to live here my initial impression when I walked out on the drive was WOW and double Wow I just love to look at the place it's nice and big nice and airy even though we wanted a smaller house in town size as soon as I saw it I just thought wow [Music] now then you haven't fallen that have you know not quite don't look a man that's got his own way which is sir why this hotly forget my own voice well hopefully we've shown you at least one house that's in the running let's find somewhere for you to have a bit of a chinwag and we'll all catch up in excellence go [Music] well shares landscape is largely agricultural and pig farming is one of the county's most important role businesses Roger keen is a pig farmer and grew up on the 350 acre farm in Sandwich just south of Chippenham that he took over from his father more than half a century ago I've come to meet him to find out about the Wiltshire bacon he produces and cures using a method developed by another local family the Harrises in the 1800s now known as the will secure they had a pork processing factory nearby Calma made a huge mark on the local employment map when the factory shut down in 1983 2,000 of the town's 10,000 residents were employees so how do you pig farming here in wheelchair come about historically that this area in the north of Wiltshire is a daring area there is always something left over if you're making cheese its way if you're maybe you know taking cream it's gonna be skim milk pigs love both of those items we still feed them to the pigs per day it wasn't only dairy products that attracted local farmers to keep pigs in 1800s animals were walked over long distances by people called Rovers as they transported pigs from Ireland to London they stopped in this part of Wiltshire after landing in Bristol to rest and feed their pigs before continuing on their journey town which is where the Harris bacon Factory was position is that right on the Drover's route so pigs were a warped all the way to London Blackman's Hollow which is one of the stopping places near town where they would rest up overnight perhaps a few pigs in the morning mr. Harris would pop down and get a bargain is it well you know I don't think he's going to make it governor talkies quarry down a little absolutely tell me a bit more about will securing them Roger we actually killing differentiates from just curing just curing the plane coming they can play since Roman times preserving portly the use of salt we watch a curing uses brine and that produces whichever way you look at it a much milder bacon that must want the public wanted back in the 1850s when it was first developed Roger wanted to keep the cure process alive so he recruited one of the Harris factory managers and some of the workforce skilled at this traditional way of curing bacon in brine a solution of salt water the bacon house is where all the action is the pork is cured at a constant temperature of five degrees which is perfect to allow the pork to stay fresh whilst gently being transformed into bacon by the uptake of salt the difference between the bacon that I might buy on a daily basis saying a big shop or a supermarket they have to make sure that the Bryan gets to the deep amounts of the cut in a shorter time as possible so whereas we're allowing the side to immerse in brine and take up the Bryan gently it's forced into the side because they're looking at a speedy process okay we give it what my daughter often calls the missing ingredient which is time the pork cut from the middle section of the animal is immersed in the salty water for four days it's described as a living brine okay which means it's got bacteria within it yeah helpful bacteria helpful bacteria and yogurts helpful bacteria in making bread with the yeasts but it's helpful bacteria in effect when we started we took some a gallon of the original brine that had been used by the Harris company and put it in our brine and since that time we've merely been adding over the years so we could say we've got a brine this history goes back maybe a hundred years when it emerges from the brine the pork is stopped for two to three weeks the water drains out of it and the salt that remains anomie cures it and it matures into bacon the next stage for about 40% of Rogers bacon is to infuse it with an aromatic smoky flavor now behind this door lies the smokehouse in essence it's just a room and on the floor is the smoldering sawdust that we get from a local sawmill which is smoldering for about two days Wow but it smells good doesn't it well let's have a go Allah was dark it is oh wow okay just see some animals on the floor hair still burning away salutely I think now we've witnessed the smoke surely we deserve the taste haven't we well I think that means the farmers kitchen nearly there sir [Music] Roger has around 2000 pigs on his farm and the bacon he produces he sold into local butchers and farm shops in Wiltshire as well as in neighboring counties now it may take up to four weeks for Roger to bring home the bacon but the best things come to those who wait absolutely gorgeous well I think we're ready we'd better get to it then oh this looks good now then I'm much prefer pan-fried to grilled anyway all right gorgeous over that it's absolutely gorgeous nice flavor yeah it's been fantastic saying this very traditional process whoo I wish you every success of the future thank you very much that's great thank you [Music] well I think we could all see that Rob really fell for that huge mystery property but personally I'm not convinced this than enough to beat that house with the views so let's catch up with them we'll find out okay you've had a discussion what's the plan you've got a favor well I do she goes her way and I go home so your favorite house is the one with a view yes it was gorgeous the view is worth studying now the view of course that was one of the big things we had to put a tick against but you wanted to be within striking distance of Bradford up in Haven very important you're a mile away with a house perfect yeah the whole layout of the house cuz he wanted big rooms all along didn't you I think that'd work really well there was gorgeous big lounge that all our furniture will fit in yeah you've agreed the house of the views is your favorites between you what about the mystery has robbed you seemed to fall head over heels for that place and it was definitely a WoW you still love it I do but it would be slightly practical really it was just a bit too big you know for the two of us which would be most of the time well I thought it really brought into definition how perhaps I thought that the house with the view might not have been downsizing enough for somebody of our age group right but when we went to that big mystery house it made me realize that the size of the one with the view it was actually perfection and I saw a fantastic reaction from you guys in the house with the views yes yep you both really seemed to enjoy looking around that house so what's next well I think a second viewing definitely definitely as a second hearing and then most probably discussion with them on price let us know wapas next how you get on with that second viewing winging it certainly will and if we bite we'll stick your picture over the fireplace don't devalue it good luck well Robyn Elspeth gave me quite an exacting wish list didn't they but I must say to find a property with brilliant views all that space to entertain even with a good-sized budget that close to Bradford upon Avon wasn't easy so I do hope they take full advantage of this second viewing and really seriously consider this as an option to escape down here to Wiltshire and watch them both the very best of luck see next time as Pithom rob decided not to pursue the old schoolhouse births have since exchanged on a converted barn in the same village as their daughter if you'd like to escape to the country in Northern Ireland Scotland Wales or England and need our help please apply online at BBC code of UK forward slash
