Couple Liz and John were impressed by property number three (Image: BBC) The popular BBC show Escape to the Country delivered a delightful surprise when a beautiful bungalow presented an unexpected choice for a couple's housing search. On Tuesday (August 20), Alistair Appleton returned to the cherished afternoon favourite to aid Liz and John in their pursuit of a serene Wiltshire retreat, away from the city's bustle, for themselves and their daughter, Emily. With a precise wish list in hand, including the need for outdoor space for John's work, the couple hoped to find a home that met all their criteria.

However, the mystery house's unveil astonished them. Though not initially considering a bungalow, Liz and John were captivated by its potential. Reflecting on the visit, John remarked: "I think Alistair has thrown us a bit of a curveball with this one.
