Escape to the Country

Nicki Chapman works with a couple from Northamptonshire, whose careers have taken them around the globe, to locate a new property in Norfolk, whether in its countryside or coastal towns. They have allocated a budget of up to £1 million for their future home.

Norfolk is a television programme presented as a single episode, falling under the broader genre of episodic property‑focused shows. The title itself points to the English county where the action unfolds, and the format follows the familiar structure of a programme that tracks a specific search or relocation journey. In this installment, presenter Nicki Chapman takes on the task of guiding a couple originally from Northamptonshire. The pair have spent considerable time living and working in various corners of the globe, accumulating a wealth of international experience before turning their attention to a new chapter in England’s east coast. The central aim of the episode is to locate a suitable residence for the couple within Norfolk, respecting a financial ceiling of one million pounds. Throughout the search, Nicki assesses a range of properties, weighing the couple’s lifestyle preferences against the constraints of the set budget, while highlighting the unique attributes that the Norfolk area can offer. Ultimately, the programme chronicles the couple’s transition from a peripatetic life abroad to establishing a permanent home in Norfolk, with the £1 million budget serving as the guiding parameter for every viewing and decision made during the episode.
