After a lifetime in Kent, retired Jenny is ready for a new adventure in the beautiful North Wessex Downs, where she can be closer to her son, Ollie.

It's island magic in Argyll and Bute as Alistair Appleton helps globetrotter Sabiha, who dreams of escaping the city and living amid Scotland's coastal calm. For a £400,000 budget, Alistair's property line-up includes a range of charming countryside and waterside homes, but it's the mystery house that really makes waves.

After 30 years living in Belgium, retired scientists Helen and Wai are coming back to Britain, and Jules Hudson has a varied line-up of beautiful properties in the Cambridgeshire countryside that would put them closer to their grandkids.
