East Midlands - S1.E2

Nicki Chapman heads to Derbyshire's Peak District to revisit a house-hunting couple who have used their interior design flair to beautifully refurbish a property she first took them to and they ended up buying. After being impressed by their 'country house' inspired décor, she takes in the dramatic setting of the National Park, where her house hunters now enjoy walking and landscape photography. Later, Nicki crosses the border into Nottinghamshire and catches up with a retired teacher who has been loving life in her Escape cottage for the past few years. Nicki sees how her move has been a springboard to a new social life and allowed her to realise a long-harboured dream of owning a narrowboat.
