BBC's Escape to the Country visited South Cumbria to find two Eurovision enthusiasts a home.

The series helps prospective buyers find their dream home in the country.

In episode four of series 25, presenter Denise Nurse shows Mark and Steve from Winsford, Cheshire, the best properties that South Cumbria has to offer for their budget - which Denise says is 'bigger than any one' she's seen on Escape.

The couple, along with their cat Larry, wish to move to a home on a budget of £380,000 with the following list:

  • Character but also light and airy

  •  No pokey windows

  • Spacious interior

  • Social kitchen,

  • Kitchen big enough for island or butcher block

  • Space to host Eurovision parties 

  • Space to store Eurovision clothes

  • Space for Mark's car and Steve's car

  • Train station nearby

  • Large garden for Larry 

  • Access to village or town but not in the centre

  • Second pub in case first pub is closed

  • A potential art studio 

  • An alpaca

The £375,000 home, ten minutes from Duddon estuary by a quiet beach, had three bedrooms, off-street parking, art room, a large garden and train station.

The town's Market Square can be seen along with Hoad monument and the Laurel and Hardy statue.

"Ulverston is probably the best town in the whole country," she said, "such a lovely close knit community."

"It is the birthplace of Stan Laurel, we are just born into comedy here. Everybody's up for a laugh.

"The town probably has a festival for anything subject you can think of."

The MP also goes on to say about Ulverston still having a huge number of independent  traders.

The couple were then shown a property in the rural setting of Stank.

This may not have had enough space for visitors to stay over, however.

After contemplating over fish and chips in Windermere, the pair were then shown a 'mystery house' in the village of Gleaston which is around three miles from Dalton-in-Furness.

After being stunned by the price of £345,000, the home unexpectedly wins the hearts of the couple more despite not having a local pub but they don't reach a conclusion by the end of the show.
