Series 7: 3. Wiltshire
Denise Nurse and Alistair Appleton reunite with homebuyers they first met a decade ago.\n\nIn 2012, Denise guided young newlyweds around Wiltshire as they aimed to escape London for a new life in the countryside. Fast-forward a decade, and she is delighted to discover that one of the fantastic properties she showed them has really stood the test of time. Then, Alistair turns back the clock a decade again, revisiting a former Escape mission in Bedfordshire. But he ends up finding his house-hunters happily settled in a rural home 200 miles away, in a completely different county altogether!
