Join Jules Hudson on BBC One on Monday 24 June, as he helps prospective buyers find their dream home in the picturesque region of the Bedfordshire borders, with one key feature at the top of their wish list: an abundance of natural light. In this episode, Jules tours a variety of potential properties with the hopeful house hunters and also takes time to explore the local area, visiting a magnificent garden and admiring a collection of vintage aircraft.
Jules begins his search by presenting three properties to the buyers. The first is a charming, characterful cottage in the village of Keysoe, which has been recently renovated and boasts a large garden. The second option is a spacious, modern home in the market town of Olney, featuring a unique, open-plan layout and a south-facing garden. The final choice is a thatched cottage in the village of Riseley, offering a blend of traditional features and modern comforts, as well as a generous garden with fruit trees.
As the buyers explore these properties, Jules takes a break to visit a local garden renowned for its stunning floral displays. He also stops by the Shuttleworth Collection, where he marvels at the vintage aircraft and learns about the history of flight.
The buyers, meanwhile, deliberate over their favorite homes, considering the advantages of each location and the features that best meet their needs. They imagine themselves living in these picturesque settings and visualize how each property could become their dream home.
