Escape to the Country

Nicki Chapman is helping a London couple on their country house hunt in Wiltshire. They have a generous £1 million budget to afford them space for their prized possessions: a baby grand piano and garaging for classic cars. Away from a positive property search, Nicki discovers more about the art of wooden hat block-making, a critically endangered heritage craft being kept alive by a Wiltshire based family whose blocks are used by milliners across the world.
