Series 5: 8. Wiltshire & Hampshire
Sonali Shah revisits two sets of Escape to the Country house-hunters united by their appreciation of traditional, period homes. In Wiltshire, she catches up with a couple for whom it was love at first sight with picture-perfect character cottages shown to them on their 2019 house hunt. Heading to Hampshire, Sonali meets another buyer who succeeded in finding her dream home - a property filled with positive energy where she could practice meditation in a serene setting.
