HUH: 9-bed property undergoes complete transformation
BBC viewers have hit out at Escape to the Country after claiming that the guests are "boring". Fans have said they will permanently switch to the popular property renovation show Homes Under the Hammer.
Alistair Appleton headed down to the Cotswolds where he met a married couple, Natalie and Lindsey. The presenter was put on a tough quest to find them a home in a leafy area away from the city.
The duo wanted a stunning abode on a budget of £600,000. Taking to social media some fans leaped to X, formerly known as Twitter to express their views. One user said: "They find little lanes 'hair-raising'. They don't like having a right of way over neighbouring properties. None of the properties are suitable."
Before adding: "They find one on their own. In a town. So not in the country. So not remote. With no views. So why apply to the programme? Give me strength." A second user penned: "At last !! someone who thinks the same as me, I can’t watch it anymore it makes my blood boil and my screaming obscenities at the television upsets the neighbours… Get Homes Under The Hammer ON."
While a wrote: "Lol! The budgets are just so ridiculous I gave up watching. I prefer Homes Under the Hammer and the makeovers." a fourth chimed in and added: "Sorry but you cannot beat Homes Under the Hammer and the presenters are spot on."
During Thursday's instalment, fans were left impressed by a property developer who purchased a large office building and turned it into a jaw-dropping nine-bedroom home.
Martin Robers met with Paul in Ackleton - which is situated between Blackburn and Burnley.
The large period property was used as a GP surgery but Paul wanted to restore it to its former glory as back in the 1900's it was a family home.

The guide price at auction was £138,000 with him splashing out on £174,000. He had an additional budget of £40,000 to spend on the renovations.
He said: “I want to restore it to its original home. I am marketing it as a nine-bed and four reception room home. I will not be changing anything structurally, just restoring and modernising it."
It took a total of 10 months and looked sensational once it was completed. Paul went with a white and grey colour scheme which looked stunning throughout.
If Paul was to sell the property he would receive offers in excess of £450,000 meaning he would receive a pre-tax profit of £221,000.
Viewers fell in love with the home and the work Paul had carried out and took to social media to admire his "talent".
One user penned on X: "Only you could watch Homes Under the Hammer for the talent." While a second shared: "That home is beautiful, love the finish."
Homes Under The Hammer is on at 11:15am on BBC One and iPlayer during the week.
