0:00:02 > 0:00:06This ancient and magnificent oak is thought to be around 1,000 years old.
0:00:06 > 0:00:12It's the biggest in Britain and stands in one of the most famous forests in the world.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17Where am I? Find out in just a merry moment.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34'On today's show, we'll be trying to unite a pair of rolling stones
0:00:34 > 0:00:38'with different idea of what they want from their dream rural home.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- I'm quite open to open-plan. - I'm closed to open-plan.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45'Though we do find some common ground.'
0:00:45 > 0:00:48- She's like Imelda Marcos with shoes. - Fabulous.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56Today, I'm in Nottinghamshire, in the heart of Sherwood Forest.
0:00:56 > 0:01:02Once a royal hunting ground, it was also home to the legendary outlaw Robin Hood.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07There are 900 veteran trees on this 450-acre site,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10including this one, the famous Major Oak.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14The story goes, in the 12th century, Robin and his merry men
0:01:14 > 0:01:18hid in a hollowed out trunk of an oak tree here in the forest.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But it couldn't have been this one, because back then,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26this tree would only have been a mere 200 years old.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32'Lying in the East Midlands, covering just under 850 square miles,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34'Nottinghamshire is divided by the River Trent,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'the third largest river in England.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40'Of course, Nottinghamshire is internationally renowned
0:01:40 > 0:01:43'as home to the infamous heroic outlaw Robin Hood
0:01:43 > 0:01:47'who is said to have lived in the leafy depths of Sherwood Forest.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49'The southern walls and eastern regions
0:01:49 > 0:01:53'managed to avoid the heavy-duty industrialisation in the north
0:01:53 > 0:01:57'and remain largely rural and agricultural.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01'One unique example of farming practice can be seen in Laxton,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05'a small village dating back to the 11th century Norman conquest.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10'The arable land here is cultivated according to a traditional medieval system
0:02:10 > 0:02:16'with a three-year crop rotation and is the last surviving open-field village in the country.'
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Despite everything Nottinghamshire has to offer,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27you may be surprised to learn that house prices here
0:02:27 > 0:02:32are 26 percent below the national average for a detached property.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So, if you want your pounds and pence to stretch a country mile,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38this could be the place for you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Let's take a look at what's currently on the market.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47'This novel four-bed converted windmill in the Vale of Belvoir
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'comes with a price tag of £290,000.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'Though it's a rather extraordinary property,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56'it has all the hallmarks of a typical family home,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59'albeit with unusually curved walls.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06'Or £395,000 could buy this grand four-bedroom country lodge in Coddington.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10'The oak wood hallway leads to generous living and dining areas
0:03:10 > 0:03:13'with beamed ceilings and feature fireplaces.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18'Finally, parts of this outstanding listed five-bedroom residence
0:03:18 > 0:03:22'in Westborough date all the way back to the 1400s.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25'Priced at £665,000,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28'its historic features are impressive,
0:03:28 > 0:03:33'from the incredible vaulted ceilings to the former dovecote,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37'which is now an impressive snooker room.'
0:03:37 > 0:03:43There you go. Some great properties here in Nottinghamshire with three more coming up.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48But we need a couple to show them to, so let's meet today's buyers.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52'Our escapees today are serial house-buyers Anthony,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56'who runs his own company, and his wife Linda, a medical secretary.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00'Their present home is a three-bedroom villa in Bath
0:04:00 > 0:04:03'and, due to Tony's career, it's the 13th house they've lived in
0:04:03 > 0:04:06'during their 36 years of marriage.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09'But now work commitments have changed, so they're finally
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'free to find somewhere in the countryside to put down some roots.'
0:04:12 > 0:04:15We've lived in some great parts of the country.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19But a lot of those decisions were forced.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Reorganisation. They were dictated by work. We had no choice.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29And now we've no children at home, everyone's gone through education,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31so we now feel it's our time to go back home,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35which is what we've always wanted to do, go back to Nottingham.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39'So, the 14th move will take them back to their home county.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42'Where exactly in Nottinghamshire do they want to be?'
0:04:42 > 0:04:48- I wouldn't like to be too remote. - But we're flexible, anywhere out towards Southwell, Newark,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51anywhere in that eastern quarter.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54'With so much house-buying experience,
0:04:54 > 0:04:59'this couple must have a clear idea about the type of house they're after.'
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'd like a house with character.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I'm not too bothered about too much character.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I'm quite open to anything, really.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I will know the house when I walk in it, whether it's the right one or not.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17A detached property with three double bedrooms, preferably.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Decent-size reception room, dining/kitchen.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Linda definitely wants a conservatory if we can manage one. - Please.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- And a good garden, a nice garden. - Garage.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Oh, gosh, yeah, we've got to have a garage.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34In fact, we've got to have a double garage
0:05:34 > 0:05:37because my motorbike can't stay outside.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41But we won't compromise on the location, that's a definite.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- We don't want to live on a main road.- No main road.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And my personal preference is nothing open-plan.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I'm quite open to open-plan. - Well, I'm closed to open-plan.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54'So, it looks like there could be a conflict of tastes here,
0:05:54 > 0:05:59'though Tony's hoping for the final say when it comes to his work environment.'
0:05:59 > 0:06:03It's not ideal, working from a dining room table.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07I mean, I've got 400 or 500 research books in the office
0:06:07 > 0:06:10that I'd like to have a home for.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So a decent home study would be fantastic.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19'And, when the working day is done, how else will they be spending their time?'
0:06:19 > 0:06:25This move would enable me to retire and then I could do some voluntary work in the local hospice.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31I'd like to play more golf and get out on my motorbike in the countryside.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm just going to be as free as a bird.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39'They bought their Bath property back in 2003 for £360,000.
0:06:39 > 0:06:45'But to find out its current market value, we've invited a local estate agent around.'
0:06:45 > 0:06:49It's rare to find a detached period house this close to the centre.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's in a great road, it's a wonderful house
0:06:52 > 0:06:56and on that basis, I'd value the house at £500,000.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03'By selling, they hope to free up some equity and reduce their mortgage.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07'So, with that in mind, what's the final figure for the Nottinghamshire property?'
0:07:07 > 0:07:11The budget for the move, you may hear two views on this,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13is £300,000.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16No, it's £350,000.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21The budget for the move is up to a maximum of £350,000.
0:07:25 > 0:07:32So, Tony and Linda have decided that this, their 14th move, is going to be their last.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36And, in their own words, they've decided to come home to Nottinghamshire
0:07:36 > 0:07:40because of its rural peace and quiet.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Now, they know what they need from a property and location,
0:07:43 > 0:07:48but what Linda and Tony aren't so clear on is the type of property they're after.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51They've said they'll know it when they see it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56Well, let's hope "it" is one of the properties we've chosen to show them.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00'Location is key to our buyers,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05'so our house-hunt will take us to Nottinghamshire's picturesque villages surrounding Southwell,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09'close to where Tony was brought up and within reasonable travelling distance
0:08:09 > 0:08:12'to Nottingham City where Linda's relatives live.'
0:08:12 > 0:08:15'We've lined up some stunning family homes
0:08:15 > 0:08:21'but I won't be revealing the price of any of our properties until they've each had a guess.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25'And, of course, we'll end our house tour at the mystery property,
0:08:25 > 0:08:30'where we'll be taking our buyers right out of their comfort zone.'
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- Tony, Linda, welcome to Nottinghamshire. Actually, I should say welcome home.- You should.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- And you're desperate to come back. - We are.- We'd like to come back.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46We're coming home. Nottinghamshire's our home. It's the right time for us to do it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Isn't it?- It is. - That's what we decided.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- You have a time in life where you want to do things and...- This is it.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- This is it.- Cease the moment. - Cease the moment.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- The children have grown up now and left home, so...- It's our time now.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04So, if we find your ideal property, out of the two of you, who's going to make the final decision?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08I'd like to say I'll have an influence, but Linda will make the decision.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- So polite.- Jointly.- Jointly. - Joint decision.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Well, we've got some fantastic houses lines up and, of course, we have the mystery property.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- Are we ready to get started? - I think so.- Come on, then.- OK.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25'For a maximum budget of £350,000,
0:09:25 > 0:09:30'Tony and Linda want a detached character property with three double bedrooms,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33'a kitchen/diner, two reception rooms,
0:09:33 > 0:09:36'a study with enough room for a few hundred books
0:09:36 > 0:09:38'and a conservatory.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42'Outside, they're after a decent-size garden for their dog
0:09:42 > 0:09:45'and Tony wants a double garage for his beloved motorbike.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48'The house needs to be located on the edge of a village,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51'not too remote, and away from main roads.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57'So, with all that to consider, let's get this house-hunt underway.'
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Having bought and sold so many homes,
0:09:59 > 0:10:04you guys must be the experts. You should be telling me what to do.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09It's been great fun moving but, yeah, you learn by your experience,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12you make a few mistakes as you go along.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- You learn that you can fix most things.- Yeah. - You can't fix the location, though.
0:10:18 > 0:10:24'Well, it's our aim to take Linda and Tony to some inspiring locations in this house quest.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29'Starting with our first property, which is in the village of Oxton, five miles west of Southwell.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34'Oxton is an attractive village surrounded by a green belt of fields and meadows.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38'The open countryside makes ideal dog-walking territory
0:10:38 > 0:10:40'and there are plenty of footpaths.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45'Oxton also has two pubs, a post office and a farm shop.'
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- And this is your first property. - Very nice.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Yeah?- Very nice. - A good first impression?- Very good.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- What do you think, Tony? - I think it's got nice kerb-side appeal. It does look lovely.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- Good.- A nice, pretty cottage. - It is a pretty cottage. Ready to take a look inside?- Yes, please.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08'This pleasant double-fronted cottage was built around 1860
0:11:08 > 0:11:14'and even though it's right in the centre of the village, it's a peaceful and quiet location.'
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Come straight through.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Into the first of the two reception rooms.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- OK.- So you can see, this is the original part of the house.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- You've got the original beams, even though they've been painted over. - Nice size.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Nice and bright. - Very comfortable.- It is.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- It's got what we want.- It has.- First one, first room, let's see the rest.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- But...- It's good. Good start.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44OK. Let's continue to the second reception room, through here.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50This is currently being used as a dining room.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Very nice. Nice size.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- You could get some great book shelves on that wall. - Yeah, it's got room.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- A working fireplace, a second one. - It's got a lot of character.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04Yeah, it's got an authenticity about it, you know?
0:12:04 > 0:12:10You feel that it's not been taken away from where it was
0:12:10 > 0:12:12but it's modern enough to live in.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18- It's really nice. I like it.- There's a very important room I'm going to show you next, the kitchen/diner.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- Come on in. - This is nice. I like this.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32It's spacious, airy, bright.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I like the blue tiles. It's a nice size.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40You've got storage behind me and into the side, there's a utility room with access to the garden,
0:12:40 > 0:12:44which I think is always so handy and practical, especially in the country.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- And then you've got a shower room at the end which has only recently been refurbished.- Very good.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52We want to be happy, comfortable, relaxed
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and I'm getting good vibes so far.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59'A very positive start on the ground floor.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04'So let's see what the vibes are giving off upstairs where we find the largest bedroom.'
0:13:06 > 0:13:09So, here's your master bedroom.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- That's a good size.- Yes, it's not far off what we've got now, is it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:19Maybe a bit smaller. As long as we can get wardrobes in and a double bed, everything is fine.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23They have large pieces of furniture in this cottage. It really can take it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28And next door, there's another bedroom which is exactly the same size
0:13:28 > 0:13:31and it's got wall-to-wall storage, which is very handy.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- I don't know about you, but I need lots of wardrobe space.- So do I.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- She's like Imelda Marcos with shoes. - Fabulous.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41We're talking the same talk.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- You've got your books! - THEY LAUGH
0:13:44 > 0:13:48So let's take a look at the third bedroom, which is at the back of the property.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- It might have the answer to your problem, Tony.- OK.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58So, here's the third double.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Because of the aspect, looking out onto the garden, I think it would make a beautiful bedroom,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07but it could also make a fantastic office-cum-library for you
0:14:07 > 0:14:09with enough room for a sofa bed, as well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:16- I like it.- Yeah. - A sofa bed's fine, as long as we've got the facility for a bedroom.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Yeah, it'd be nice to work in here. - Look at that view of your garden. - Nice and quiet.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24'There's also a family bathroom up on this floor,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26'which concludes the tour of the house.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31'Time to go back downstairs and out into the garden.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34'Immediately to the rear of the house is a paved patio
0:14:34 > 0:14:36'and beyond that, a raised lawn.'
0:14:39 > 0:14:43So here's your garden. It's a mature garden. Plenty of shrubs and trees.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Is this the sort of size that you had in mind?
0:14:46 > 0:14:52The size is fine, yeah. We've got to have room for the dog to run, which this is.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- You did want a double garage. - Mm.- There's a single garage there. Quite a generous size.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Hopefully enough room to put the bike in there for you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- There's scope.- There is scope.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06So, I know you do really want to stick to your budget.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12- The top of it is £350,000. - So I'm told.- By the good lady!
0:15:12 > 0:15:17The question is, how much is this cottage currently on the market for?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Erm...- Ladies first.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25- I would say around £340,000.- OK.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30I'm going to go slightly lower, 329.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33£329,000.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Linda, you're closest.- Right.
0:15:35 > 0:15:42This house, well, you'd get £5 change from your top budget of £350,000.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Right.- Are you surprised?
0:15:44 > 0:15:51No, I'm not surprised. It's a very quality-finished house in a really nice location.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- So, would you like another look around?- Yeah, that'd be great. - Cos you're quite taken with it.- Yes.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Take as long as you like and I'll catch up with you later on. - Thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05'For £349,995,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09'our first offering is a charming character cottage in a quiet location,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12'but in the heart of the village.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16'It has two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner with separate utility
0:16:16 > 0:16:20'and three double bedrooms with plenty of scope for a study.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24'Outside, it has a pretty, manageable garden and a single garage.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28'All in all, our buyers get a lot of what they're looking for with this property
0:16:28 > 0:16:32'and within budget, albeit by just a fiver.'
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I just got the impression that I could be comfortable here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I like the fact that it's in a village. I like the fact that it's got character.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45There's things you can do with it, but it's not going to take all my time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51- Is this the kitchen that you wanted? - I think so. It's a decent size. It's nice. I like the style.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54It's big enough. It's got the dining space, which is what we wanted.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And I thought it was a really nice-looking property.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Very well maintained. Nice style.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Nice garden. Very nice house.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Right, guys, that's the first property. Have you seen enough?
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Yes.- You think so? Tony, you close the door.- OK.- And we'll make tracks.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26'Both Tony and Linda were born and raised in Nottinghamshire, but left in 1974 when they got married,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30'so they're keen to spend quality time getting reacquainted with the county,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34'exploring its beautiful countryside and towns.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39'During the week, they paid a visit to Southwell, the desirable and affluent market town
0:17:39 > 0:17:42'known as Nottinghamshire's millionaire capital.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47'The town is dominated by its magnificent cathedral with imposing pepper-pot towers.
0:17:47 > 0:17:53'Local historian Roger Dobson was on hand to show our house-buyers around.'
0:17:53 > 0:17:57What is so unique about Southwell is you've got here
0:17:57 > 0:18:00a mightily impressive big church
0:18:00 > 0:18:04and yet you've got a very, very small population.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08It was originally built in the early 12th century,
0:18:08 > 0:18:13the Norman period, and it was then a minster church.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18In 1884, it was recognised finally as a cathedral,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22so it is the seat for the area of Nottinghamshire.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- So is it a city or a town? - Depends who you talk to.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's a little bit like "South-well" and "Suth-el".
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Is it a village, is it a town, it is a city?
0:18:31 > 0:18:38And different people, different organisations, will have different interpretations.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- It's still Southwell Minster, anyway.- It is.
0:18:43 > 0:18:50'With its impressive facade, the late 13th century chapter house is a real architectural feat,
0:18:50 > 0:18:56'as it has the only octagon stone vaulted ceiling in England without a central support pillar.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00'The interior is renowned for its fascinating freely-carved depictions
0:19:00 > 0:19:03'that include a multitude of stone leaves.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07'But that's not Southwell's only horticultural sensation.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10'The town is also birthplace of the Bramley apple.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13'The story goes that in the early 1800s,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16'a young girl planted pips from an apple at the bottom of her garden.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19'By the time it matured and bore fruit,
0:19:19 > 0:19:21'the garden belonged to Matthew Bramley
0:19:21 > 0:19:27'and, in 1856, a cutting from the tree was propagated with enormous success.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32'Remarkably, the original Bramley tree is still standing and produces fruit
0:19:32 > 0:19:37'and takes pride of place in the private garden of 90-year-old Nancy Harrison,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41'who has kindly invited Tony, Linda and Roger for a closer look.'
0:19:43 > 0:19:47It's just a wonderful tree. As you see, it's laden with fruit this year
0:19:47 > 0:19:51and it's not been a good year for fruit.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- It needs some rain on it now. - Mm, certainly.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Do they make nice apple pies? - Yes, I think they are the best cooking apples
0:19:58 > 0:20:04and they're usually very large, very bright green, lovely apples.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08And they keep, with care, right through the winter.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12They're as good in March as they are when they're fresh-looking.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17'The fruits from those few pips planted some 200 years ago
0:20:17 > 0:20:21'are responsible for a Bramley apple industry that is worth £50 million a year.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25'They say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30'and it's certainly true of our buyers, who dream of returning to their home county.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34'But first, we've got to find them a house, so it's back to the hunt.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42'We got off to a very positive start with our first property
0:20:42 > 0:20:46'and for our second location, we're staying within five miles of Southwell,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48'but this time, heading north to Eakring.
0:20:48 > 0:20:54'Set in a conservation area, Eakring is an idyllic village with a pub and a church.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58'And it's a great base from which keen walkers Tony and Linda
0:20:58 > 0:21:01'can explore the surrounding countryside.'
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And here is your second property.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09All of that? All of that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Wow.- This house was built around 1953
0:21:12 > 0:21:16and it's been extended three times since then.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- OK.- You look quite reserved. - I'm reserved at the moment. - Reserved, OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Well, let me show you around. Come on.- OK.- OK.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29'This is certainly a very different property to the first one.
0:21:29 > 0:21:36'Built in the 1950s, it's a much later build. But what it may lack in traditional period character
0:21:36 > 0:21:39'it more than makes up for in size.'
0:21:39 > 0:21:46Come on through. We were thinking this would make a very good study-cum-library.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Yes, it's certainly got the room. - Plenty of storage space.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52I like it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Good. - A slight difference of opinion. Cos you liked the outside, as well.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I did quite like the outside, yeah.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I'm distinctly unimpressed.
0:22:01 > 0:22:08'Linda seems won over, but I think we're yet to convince Tony, despite all the room for his books.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11'Let's see what they think of the kitchen.'
0:22:11 > 0:22:16I think one of the most important rooms in the house, the kitchen.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Not as big as I was expecting. It's got everything, though.
0:22:19 > 0:22:26It's got everything with the added bonus of having a large utility room next door.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Right next door, so nice and easy to get to.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33That's a nice added bonus. And I can see that there is another bonus.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Shall we take a look?- Yes, please.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40This is a conservatory.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- Is this large enough for you? - This is a really nice aspect.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Beautiful onto the garden. And also, close proximity to the kitchen.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- I think you'd overflow naturally into here.- You could.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You could make more use of this than just a dining area, as well.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Yeah. You could easily have sofas. - You could.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04'As well as the huge eating area in the conservatory, there's also a separate dining room.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07'And the ground floor doesn't end there.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11'More reception space can be found in the second sitting room.'
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Well, I quite like the space aspect, having been to the first house.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22That was a real cottage, this is giving me another feel now, a different feel.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25But this is giving me that space that I like.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I'm beginning to feel that I'm a bit agoraphobic
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- cos there's too much space. - THEY LAUGH
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- Yin and Yang.- Yes.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38'I think we're going to have a tough job on our hands
0:23:38 > 0:23:44'trying to please both Linda and Tony, as they each have such different ideas of what they want.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50'Let's head upstairs and see if we can get a harmonious balance in the sleeping quarters.'
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This is the master.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- It's a nice size.- Loads of storage. - Yeah. It's a bedroom.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Yeah. You're not going to get that excited either way, are you?- No.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03But can I excite Linda with an en suite bathroom?
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Probably.- Yes. So this is workable for you, big enough?
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- It's certainly big enough. - Definitely.- Linda, he's coming round.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- Hopefully.- Hopefully. - I'm saying the right things.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21You are saying the right things! I'm quite liking what you're saying. I believe you.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25'This house is really dividing our buyers and try as he might,
0:24:25 > 0:24:30'Tony isn't yet convinced. But, with another three double rooms up here,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33'they'll get one more bedroom than they asked for.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35'And also, there's a family bathroom.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38'Plus, we've got more to persuade Tony outside,
0:24:38 > 0:24:43'including a double garage and a well-maintained garden.'
0:24:43 > 0:24:48So, you've got to agree, a beautifully manicured lawn either side.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- It is, it's beautiful. - It's a lovely garden. This is the type of garden I want.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It's big but it's easily maintained.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Get the mower out. And it's just great.- It is, it's lovely.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05- You like the house, don't you?- Yes. - Does it give you that good, homely feel?- It does, yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Tony, you have been very complimentary about this house
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and you've admitted it's got everything that you asked us to provide,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14including the location.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18But I get that sense of feeling it's not quite doing it for you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21I just feel, what's not to like about it?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25But I can't find anything to love about it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29I'm going to ask you how much this house is currently on the market for.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I'd say it was at the top end of the budget, so I'd say 350.
0:25:32 > 0:25:38- OK.- Because it's nearer Mansfield, 339.- Who was right last time? - Linda was.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Guess what. Linda's on the nose. £350,000.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Top end of your budget.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50But I want you both to have another look around. I think you should.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56- I'll let you have a chat on your own and I'll catch up with you a little bit later.- Thanks.- Thank you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01'Smack-bang on budget at £350,000,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04'the second property is an impressive detached house
0:26:04 > 0:26:08'offering seriously spacious accommodation for the money.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12'It pretty much ticks all the boxes our buyers requested and more,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16'including four double bedrooms, three reception rooms,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20'a kitchen/diner and a large conservatory.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24'Outside, there's a low-maintenance garden and a double garage.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27'Linda's enthusiasm for this house is evident.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30'But will Anthony forgo his love of period character features
0:26:30 > 0:26:33'to get a more extensive property?'
0:26:33 > 0:26:37There's nothing to dislike about the house, but my heart wasn't singing.
0:26:37 > 0:26:43Sometimes when you move, it's not just about the tick box,
0:26:43 > 0:26:47it's the way you feel that you will feel about it in five years and ten years.
0:26:47 > 0:26:54I really liked it. I just thought it was really homely, really immaculate, very nicely decorated
0:26:54 > 0:26:56and I like it.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59We've been able to get away with family houses
0:26:59 > 0:27:04that we've liked cos they serve a purpose. I think this time it should be a little bit more special.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- You both ready to go?- Yes.- Yep.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Seen enough? Hasn't caused an argument, this house, has it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- No, I wouldn't let a house do that. - Just healthy discussion. - Healthy discussion.- Excellent.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31'As the sun sets on what's very much been a day of two halves in Nottinghamshire,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35'the first chapter of our house-hunting journey comes to an end.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40'With a budget of £350,000,
0:27:40 > 0:27:46'Bath-based Tony and Linda are looking at making their 14th move a more permanent one.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51'And they've chosen their original home turf of Nottinghamshire in which to finally settle.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54'So far, we've shown them two lovely rural homes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59'The real challenge is matching their mutually exclusive tastes.'
0:27:59 > 0:28:06- Well, I quite like the space. - And I'm beginning to feel a bit agoraphobic cos it's too much space.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11'And still to come, we've got the mystery house. But will we hit the bull's-eye?'
0:28:12 > 0:28:18I don't know about you, but I thought yesterday was really interesting.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Out of the two houses we showed them, Linda could've moved into either of them.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26But for Tony, it was a different story.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31I think what he discovered was he wanted location and character.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Today, it's mystery property time.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35I wonder what they'll think of this house.
0:28:36 > 0:28:43'And to get to the mystery house, we're moving away from our buyers' desired location and heading south.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46'But we are staying in the eastern region of the county,
0:28:46 > 0:28:50'about 12 miles west of Nottingham, to the village of Aslockton.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54'Lying in the Vale of Beaver and surrounded by farmland,
0:28:54 > 0:28:59'Aslockton is a small and peaceful rural village with a 19th century church.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02'There are a few small businesses and amenities to hand,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05'including a pub and a newsagent with a post office.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09'As for the mystery package, we've lined up a unique property
0:29:09 > 0:29:14'built on rather an unusual layout, which might just be the one place
0:29:14 > 0:29:17'that will bring this couple together. But it's not detached.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21'In fact, it's an end of terrace.'
0:29:21 > 0:29:25This is your mystery property. As you can see, it was one huge building,
0:29:25 > 0:29:31built around 1872 and converted into three separate dwellings in the late 70s.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- The one we're going to look at is the one on the end, so it is semi-detached.- OK.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40- But it has an added extension, which was done in the late 80s.- Right.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- First impressions?- From the outside, I quite like it, yes.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- You can't knock it for character. - Full of character. - Plenty of character!
0:29:47 > 0:29:53- So it is a very unusual house. Shall we take a look inside?- Yes, please.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00'The mystery property is a conversion of a former malt house
0:30:00 > 0:30:05'which is laid out on three levels, and it's clearly got the history and character that Tony wanted.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09'But will the dimensions inside be suited to Linda?'
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Come through.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Now, just stand here and look up.
0:30:16 > 0:30:22- Oh, this is nice. - Yeah, this has the wow factor. - It does have the wow factor.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- It's not something everybody's going to have, is it?- No.- Certainly not.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- It seems so much bigger inside than what you're expecting.- Yeah.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- This part of the property is quite open-plan.- Yeah.
0:30:33 > 0:30:40- Which you didn't want. - Which I didn't want, but it's not sprawling open-plan.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43It's different, isn't it? It's a different type of...
0:30:43 > 0:30:47- It's like galleried landings.- It is. It's open-plan with a difference
0:30:47 > 0:30:54and the great thing about this home is it has plenty of options for you, and I'll explain as we go around.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59'The large open-plan reception hall has magnificent triple-height ceilings
0:30:59 > 0:31:03'featuring characterful exposed woodwork and a bespoke staircase.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09'There's so much space here. It's also being used as a TV and dining area.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11'But next, let's head to the kitchen.'
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- I know, in an ideal world, you wanted a nice, big kitchen.- I did.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19You could actually take that wall out with an RSJ and extend it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:25- OK.- You might like to keep it as it is. It's a large kitchen.- Quite large. I would leave it as it is.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Maybe, eventually, knock the wall down.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32But the units and everything, I would just leave completely as they are.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Gives me a good feel, this house. - Excellent.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39'Back through the reception hall and out through the extended wing,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43'there are even more living areas, including a dining room.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48'And next door to that, the main lounge, complete with a rustic wood-burning stove
0:31:48 > 0:31:52'and some fabulous country views across open fields.'
0:31:52 > 0:31:57So you've probably noticed by now, half the property is open-plan,
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- but half of it isn't.- Very traditional. Best of both worlds.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06- I like everything so far. - Do you? So you wouldn't really change anything.- No.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- It's not often you can walk into a house and say that.- Very rarely.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14'Fantastic! We've happy customers all round on the ground floor.
0:32:14 > 0:32:19'But there's another gem for Tony just up the staircase off the dining room.'
0:32:20 > 0:32:25So this house actually has four bedrooms if you include this room,
0:32:25 > 0:32:31which they're using as a bedroom-cum-office. Just round the corner, you can see it's being used.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Could be a perfect place for all your books.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38- Perfect, isn't it?- It is perfect. - Office, library, gym?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Yeah, definitely. I'll never see you.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- THEY LAUGH - Is that a wish list?
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- And an overflow bedroom. - Yeah. Perfect.- Just perfect.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53'Well, this place just keeps giving,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56'and although our buyers aren't jumping up and down for joy,
0:32:56 > 0:33:00'it's obvious they're quietly confident and really quite excited.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04'Back down on the ground floor lie the main flight of stairs
0:33:04 > 0:33:06'which lead to a huge galleried landing
0:33:06 > 0:33:11'with even more storage for books and another office arrangement.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15'And next up, we're going to take a look at what could be their master bedroom.'
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Well, that's a lot bigger than I was expecting.- Yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25It's like the TARDIS, this place. You don't expect it to be so big.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- And is that an en suite? - That is.- Gosh.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Just everything fits. - It's just so...perfect.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Yeah.- I don't often hear that. That's lovely. Perfect.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Yeah, the house is great.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43'The remaining bedrooms are up on the second floor.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45'There are two comfortably-sized double rooms,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49one of which has a large dressing area presented as a study.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53'And this top floor is also home to the main family bathroom.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59'So now we've seen everything inside, it's time to get outside and check out the garden.'
0:33:59 > 0:34:04So, here's the garden. It's a fair size, but it's pretty manageable.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's my ideal type of garden.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09You've got the shed behind you and you have the garage.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13When we walked up to the property, there was three garages.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- The one closest to the house is yours.- OK.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22So, my question now is, how much is this house currently on the market?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- The mystery property. - I think it's going to be over-budget.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30So I would say about £385,000.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- OK. Tony?- And I think you'll have kept us within budget,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37so I'll say 350.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42You would get £50 change.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48- It's currently on the market for £349,950.- Is it really?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- So, yep, just under your top budget. - Wow.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- I'm really surprised, because I love it.- Yeah?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59It's nice that we can afford it and we get a lot for our money.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04- I so want you to go and have another look around.- I'm dying to get back inside.- Go on, off you go.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- See you later.- Bye.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Well, how fantastic. As soon as they saw this property, they were intrigued.
0:35:13 > 0:35:20But coming through that front door and seeing that impressive hallway, it went from strength to strength.
0:35:20 > 0:35:27'Yet again keeping within budget, this time at £349,950,
0:35:27 > 0:35:31'the mystery house is a three-storey character conversion
0:35:31 > 0:35:33'with an unusual and flexible layout
0:35:33 > 0:35:36'that features four bedrooms and three receptions.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41'And the property has a delightful garden in a tranquil rural setting.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45'But most impressive of all must be the fact that this mystery package
0:35:45 > 0:35:48'has managed to meet nearly all their criteria
0:35:48 > 0:35:51'as well as their opposing styles.'
0:35:51 > 0:35:56I really liked the mystery house from outside. It looked quirky and quaint.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01It gave me a really good feeling when I came in the door and I could actually feel like I could live here.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04The kitchen's not as big as I would've liked.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08I'm surprised that that's something you haven't picked on.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11But I don't mind. I'll compromise.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15The mystery house grabs me really well. It ticks all the boxes.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19It's great to walk into something that I can tell straight away that Linda likes.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- Have you seen enough? - For now, yes, thank you.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28I'm going to take you somewhere quiet, cos you've got some serious thinking to do now, haven't you?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Yeah.- We have. - Decisions need to be made.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44'Towards the north of Nottinghamshire lies the ancient woodland of Sherwood Forest.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48'Over 900 trees in the forest are more than 600 years old,
0:36:48 > 0:36:53'so would have provided shelter for medieval folklore hero Robin Hood,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56'whose weapon of choice was the longbow.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59'The English were formidable archers when it came to warfare.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04'Their skill with a longbow decided a number of important medieval battles,
0:37:04 > 0:37:09'namely the 1415 Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War,
0:37:09 > 0:37:13'where they managed to defeat the French army three times as large.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16'During the week, I headed to Sherwood Forest to meet Alan Rogers
0:37:16 > 0:37:20'and learn about the art of creating traditional longbows
0:37:20 > 0:37:22'and the skill needed to use them.'
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- Hi, Alan.- Hello.- Good to meet you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28How far does the longbow actually go back in history?
0:37:28 > 0:37:34We think around about 1250, that sort of thing, the longbow evolved.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38The bow traditionally has been made out of English yew.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- This is the way the tree is growing, like that.- Yes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:48And this is the bark, and we use the sap wood, which is very good in expansive qualities,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and the hard wood, which is very good in compression qualities.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53You can really see the difference in colour.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57'Alan is one of only 25 master bowyers in the country
0:37:57 > 0:38:01'who are preserving this ancient craft of bow-making.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07'It takes three years of training to qualify as a member of the Guild of Traditional Bowyers and Fletchers,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10'but many more years to become a master.'
0:38:11 > 0:38:15How long would it take you to make a longbow from start to finish?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19I usually say about 40 hours, to do it properly.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25And it does take a while because it's the tillering that is difficult.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29'Tillering is a centuries-old art of creating the bend in the bow.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32'During the process of shaving back the timber,
0:38:32 > 0:38:37'a simple grooved length of wood called the tiller is used to check the shape of the bend.'
0:38:37 > 0:38:42And then, you can see, I can put it on the tiller, I can draw down, clip it in
0:38:42 > 0:38:45and then stand back and examine it.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49'In medieval times, linen, hemp and silk were used for the bow's strings
0:38:49 > 0:38:52'and the arrows were made from ash, oak or birch
0:38:52 > 0:38:57'with the steering provided by the fletchings, typically made of goose feathers.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00'Longbows were in use up to the 16th century,
0:39:00 > 0:39:03'when gunpowder became a more effective weapon.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07'But today, they're still used in sport, and it's my turn to test out my aim.'
0:39:07 > 0:39:12And the tale is one finger above, two below, pull it back and let it go.
0:39:12 > 0:39:18'So, with a small crowd gathered around, all eyes are on me. No pressure, then!'
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Pull it back a bit more. Keep going. Lower, lower, lower. Loose
0:39:22 > 0:39:27- CHEERING - Very well done.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33Alan, that was brilliant. Thank you so much. I'm amazed I managed to hit the target.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35In a way, so am I.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38'Not a bad effort for my first attempt,
0:39:38 > 0:39:42'though a skilled archer could release at least 12 arrows per minute,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45'so I've got a lot of practice to get up to speed.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48'For now, though, it's time to get back to our buyers
0:39:48 > 0:39:52'to see if any of our three properties have hit the target.'
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Well, it looks like there are two properties in the running.
0:39:59 > 0:40:05Personally, I think the mystery house has worked its magic once again.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08We've given Linda and Tony some time to mull things over
0:40:08 > 0:40:12but now it's decision time. Let's hear what they've got to say.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Well, guys, we've had a great few days in Nottinghamshire.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23Big question is, have you enjoyed yourselves and have you found what you're looking for?
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- It's been a really good experience. - Let's start with the first property.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31The beautiful cottage that we saw in Oxton, that picturesque village.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- It was a picturesque cottage. - Tell me what you thought of that.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- I liked it.- We both liked it.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41The location was perfect.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44The kitchen was great, you liked it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:51Cosy sitting room, nice dining room, bedrooms were fine. I liked it. I was sold.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54The second property we saw was a little bit further out.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Very different house from the cottage
0:40:56 > 0:41:03and straight away, Tony, I think it'd be fair for me to say that it just didn't quite do it for you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07I didn't have my cheque book out as I walked up the path, no.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10No, it didn't do it for me. Some houses do, some don't.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13And that didn't do it for me.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- And you were slightly different, Linda. You liked it.- I liked it.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20I did. And I just loved the garden and the conservatory.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24It was a nice size and it was so immaculately done out.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I could just move in and do nothing.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31And last but not least, we saw the mystery house.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35It was semi-detached, which I know wasn't something that you were initially looking for.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38And it was also semi-open-plan.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Again, Tony, originally you had reservations about any property being open-plan.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- But it didn't put either of you off, did it?- Not at all.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50No. As soon as I walked in the door, I loved it.
0:41:50 > 0:41:57I loved the open-plan aspect of it and I loved being able to close the doors on other rooms,
0:41:57 > 0:41:59so it was the best of both worlds.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03You looked at it, walked in and went "wow"
0:42:03 > 0:42:08as you looked up to three floors of galleries and it was great.
0:42:08 > 0:42:14- So, what's the next step? - I think what we'll do is take another look at Oxton.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Which was the beautiful cottage.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21And also take another look at the mystery property.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24And then we'll go home and have a long talk.
0:42:24 > 0:42:30Do let us know how you get on, won't you? And we hope that 14th move is the very last one.
0:42:30 > 0:42:36Hopefully, cos it's got the be the right one, it's got to be perfect, but life isn't like that.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- We'll keep our fingers crossed. Linda, Tony, thank you.- Thank you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:47For Tony and Linda, this 14th move is so important
0:42:47 > 0:42:50because, hopefully, it is going to be their last.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Out of the properties we showed them, they've liked two so much,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57they're going to go back for second viewings.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00And, fingers crossed, one of them will hit the mark.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02We wish them all the very best.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Join us again next time.
