Series 6: 7. Staffordshire and Hampshire



Sonali Shah retraces her steps with two sporty couples in the counties of Staffordshire and Hampshire. In the West Midlands, she’s back with former house hunters who bought one of the properties presented to them on an Escape to the Country search in 2020. Sonali sees how they have put their own stamp on the home and is taken for an eventful golf lesson at the local driving range. Next, Sonali makes her way to England’s south coast and discovers how a lovely 1920s period property is the perfect home in the country where a couple can raise their family after 20 years abroad.
