Escape To The Country buyer bursts into tears as panicked BBC host urges husband to ‘give her a hug’ after shocking reveal at mystery property

An Escape To The Country buyer burst into tears while the panicked host urged her husband to ‘give her a hug’ after making a shocking revelation on Wednesday. 

The most recent episode of the BBC show saw Sonali Shah help project manager John and his wife Liz find their dream home in the idyllic countryside of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. 

The couple, from Warwickshire, explained to the expert that they had a budget of £340,000 to find a detached property with countryside views, a minimum of two bedrooms, a garage and one acre of land. 

Sonali managed to find a number of properties to show the pair, but there was one in the mix that really stood out for them – and that was the mystery house.

Walking up to the bungalow, Liz explained that it ‘already looks really promising’ and as they looked around they couldn’t hide how impressed they were. 

Sonali asked them: ‘Have I found the house?’ to which John replied: ‘If I said no to this, quite rightly so, let’s just stop looking…’

She then asked them to guess how much they thought it was, to which Liz explained she thought it would be offers over £350,000, with John saying offers over £340,000.

Sonali asked: ‘If that was the case, would you be putting in a call to the estate agent?’ 

They replied that they would and she continued: ‘I think you need to get your phone out because it’s offers over £270,000.’

Liz couldn’t contain her emotion and gasped: ‘No way!’ 

Sonali pointed out to John that his wife was crying  and urged him to give her a hug.

A confused John asked: ‘Are you sure you’ve got that right?! Offers over £270,000?!’ 

Sonali said: ‘I’m so excited for you! We’ve done it folks. We’ve found the Goldilocks house.’ 

It’s not the first time that a guest has got emotional on the show. 

A couple were left ‘dumbstruck’ and broke down in tears after viewing a ‘mind-blowing’ property on BBC One’s Escape To The Country. 

During last Friday’s instalment of the daytime programme, viewers were introduced to couple Sarah and Dominic. 

The duo were hoping to leave their home in South London for a fresh start in the countryside, ideally in the High Weald. 

Before their search began, the pair had a strict list of requirements for Alistair Appleton, 55, to adhere to. 

Sarah and Dominic wanted a detached home with four to five bedrooms and at least one acre of land.

They were also keen to have an annexe for Sarah’s parents, or at least enough space to build one.

The couple had an impressive budget of £1.1 million and were shown two gorgeous houses during their property search. 

However, it was the mystery house in the Kent village of Biddenden which left them both blown away. 

Before even stepping foot inside, the couple immediately commented on how beautiful the unique home was. 

Calling the house ‘mind-blowing’, Alistair explained: ‘It’s been beautifully restored, this is an oast house, of which there are hundreds in Kent.’

He continued: ‘This is it! The actual oast at the top moves with the wind, so it’s still working in that sense.’

Alistair also revealed that the home came with 10 acres, five of which are private fields and had their own giant orchid, so the couple were keen to explore the inside. 

However, after exploring inside, it seemed as though emotions got the better of Sarah when they gave their overall thoughts on the property. 

Alistair said: ‘You’ve gone a bit, sort of, dumbstruck!’

 Fighting back tears and struggling to speak, she replied: ‘I’m literally speech- I’m quite emotional, actually. Sorry! It just looks amazing.’

When asked if they could imagine themselves living there, Dominic confessed he could, before getting teary himself. 

But the couple were even more delighted when they learnt the house was on the market for £950,000, which was below their budget. 

As the episode came to an end, BBC viewers learnt they had taken their family back to visit the house and it was a huge success. 

Alistair added: ‘They’re now in the process of doing all the checks before they can put an offer in.’ 

Escape To The Country airs weekdays on BBC one and is available to stream on iPlayer.
