S27E20 - Devon
Sonali Shah is in glorious Devon with Lisa and Neil from the city of Newport, whose country house wish list has one surprisingly non-negotiable requirement... the perfect utility room! But will they find one worth getting emotional about? Their search uncovers an irresistible mix of properties, from a home with breathtaking views, and another with its own turret, to a remarkable wing of a grand county mansion.
Along the way, Sonali heads to Exmoor to meet a young family who left London behind three years ago to embrace a very different way of life on their 23-acre farm.

Who is Ethel, and why is Alistair Appleton trying to bag her? All will be revealed in Derbyshire as he helps Olivia and Jake from a busy Leicestershire town, and their dog Basil, find a more self-sufficient lifestyle on a property shopping budget of £450,000.

S27E24 - West Sussex
Nicki Chapman is in the West Sussex countryside, with a £380,000 budget, helping Jane and Fabian leave London in search of a characterful cottage with a modest garden. Twenty years into married life, they're still clearly each other's favourite company, making this move every bit as exciting as the day they first met in New York. It's a fitting backdrop to a mystery house with echoes of a Manhattan loft apartment. Nicki also meets a couple of enterprising landlords growing much of the produce served on their pub's menu from the smallholding they've established nearby.
