Hidden Trap Door Discovered in Living Room Leaves Escape to the Country Buyers Shocked; BBC Host Issues Safety Warning Against Entering
Head on down to the heart of Cumbria, where old meets new in a thrilling twist!
Steve Brown, the charismatic host of BBC's beloved show, "Escape to the Country," aided Clare and Crispin from South London in their quest for their dream abode. Like many others, they had a wishlist — three bedrooms minimum, expansive grounds for furry friends, and close proximity to a locals' favorite hangout.
As the property tours began, Steve unveiled a unique modern barn conversion, complete with an alluring secret. "There's one other interesting addition that I hope will appeal to you both," he teased. Upon entering the stunning reception room, Clare jokingly pointed to a door in the floor, "Depends what's down there," prompting Steve to quip, "Don't go into the trap door!"
What lay beneath remained a mystery to the viewers as Steve invited Crispin to descend to the cellar, leaving Clare and Steve upstairs. With properties matching most of their requirements, the duo ultimately decided on a second viewing.
Meanwhile, another episode showcased a buyer's no-nonsense rejection of every property presented by host Alistair Appleton. Lizzie, a London resident seeking a fresh start, enlisted Alistair's help in relocating to Suffolk. Despite being presented with four potential homes within her budget of £500,000, Lizzie's discerning eye left the trio struggling to find a home that perfectly fit her expectations.
Clues from another property search contextually support the unusual feature in a barn conversion. Valley View Barns, a picturesque location popular on "Escape to the Country," revealed an interesting passageway in one of its properties [1]. Though this specificity is not directly tied to "Escape to the Country" and Clare and Crispin's story, it suggests a pattern of hidden gems tucked away in unexpected places—an intriguing perspective for similar searches.
"Escape to the Country" airs on BBC One and is available to stream on iPlayer, offering an ongoing series of hidden treasures and jaw-dropping surprises for those ready to embark on their own countryside adventure.
