Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country - Episode Guide

In this first episode, the family start to adapt to their new life, and draw up plans for their ambitious modern stately home. Later, the whole family help out with lambing season.

In the second episode, Sarah and her husband Graham await news from the local council, while the family get to work planting 1,000 young trees they have bought to improve the biodiversity on the farm.

This time, the family head to a poultry farm that sells a vast array of chickens, ducks and peacocks to the public. Later, Sarah and Graham explore how to make the farm pay for itself by heading off to find out how to make cider at a local cider mill.

In this episode, Sarah and Graham get to work on the foundations of their new dream house, while Raffey and Laurie try to bring in some extra cash for the farm with a petting zoo for the public. Sarah wants to one day plant a truffle wood on the farm and has high hopes that Maple the dog can be trained to sniff truffles out, so she heads off to meet truffle hunter Tom to find out more.

In the fifth episode, the family continue their plans to diversify the farm and test out whether they have enough space to turn some of the land into a glamping site. Before they commit to anything, they invite some friends and family to spend the weekend glamping with them.

In the sixth episode, Sarah and Graham face new problems as the ground floor of the new home is completely flooded due to a downpour of rain. Later, the family decide they want to adopt some hens from a battery farm, to join the ones they bought from a poultry farm that live a happy, free-range life in their garden.

The building work on Sarah and Graham's new home resumes, as a Covid-safe team arrive back at the farm. And four alpacas come to stay, in Sarah's bid to make a menagerie of animals a success.

Sarah and Graham have a go at harvesting their own honey to make a surprisingly delicious condiment. And after years of dreaming, the first stage of building their new home is finally completed.

The shell of their mini mansion is built but the home is far from ready, and they are tackling the interior one room at a time. First up is the grand hallway - but first the downstairs needs a concrete floor. Away from the build, Sarah is adding a second beehive and family dog Maple has a surprise in store.

Sarah and Graham want an impressive staircase for their new home, similar to the one they had at Rise Hall, their old country house in East Yorkshire. The couple track down a local tradesman who is able to achieve the `aged wood" look they are after - but Sarah and Graham have differing ideas on the look of this important feature. Meanwhile, Sarah is keen on keeping goats, so the family head off to Devon to find out how much work it might take and what the benefits could be.

Spring arrives and after months of lockdown, the boys are all heading back to school, meaning Graham can get stuck in to project managing the house build. He and Sarah are planning a large dining room for entertaining, with a centrepiece table that used to belong to rock star Ronnie Wood. Artist Graham also draws on his skills to apply some decorative touches to the room - but will it be theatrical enough for Sarah? Meanwhile, the couple also visit a pig farmer who shows them the cycle from piglet to pork chop.

The family prepare for their perfect countryside Christmas. Sarah has grand plans for a treehouse inspired by an alpine chalet, and with the main house still not complete, the woodland home will also host an early festive party for family and friends. Sarah has a ready supply of honey from her bees, which she uses to make a honey-based booze, and uses the leftover beeswax to make a candle for the treehouse. To help get in the festive mood, they also visit a herd of reindeer.

The action moves upstairs as the transformation of the boys' bedrooms begins. All four of them are keen to take charge of their own room designs and also to get their hands dirty making it happen. They have grand plans, but can they pull them off? On the land, Graham and Sarah decide to install a zipwire across their large pond, and when Charlie and Laurie harvest a load of nettles, Sarah brews up a batch of nettle beer - but not everyone is convinced.

The family tackle five en-suite bathrooms, one for Graham and Sarah, and one each for the boys. They begin by installing under-floor hearing then take delivery of 178 different items required to kit out these separate rooms. When it comes to the tiling, Charlie and Raffey decide they want to do it themselves, so Sarah shows them her grouting skills. Things gets more tricky, however, when they try to shift a 400lb cast iron bathtub upstairs. Away from the build, the family learn about weaving rush seats and haymaking.

The family create a music room, Sarah and the boys set up an incubator for their new duck eggs and Diccon helps to create some lakeside living for when they hatch.

Sarah and Graham transform their kitchen from bare shell into the heart of their home, Graham learns how to smoke his own home-caught fish, and the boys play their first live gig

Sarah and the family begin a new series by creating a traditional country house library, inspired by an 18th-century stately home she previously worked on. It will be covered from wall-to-wall in bespoke bookcases, with sustainable timber coloured to give it a rich, aged, antique appearance, and with another reading area to house more books - a cosy book nook on the landing. Graham installs the library's best kept secret - a hidden drinks cabinet.

Sarah and Graham turn their attention to the guest bedroom, with plans afoot to create a secret, Narnia-inspired room in the eaves, accessed through the bedroom wardrobe. The couple head to the local auction house in Wincanton, in search of the perfect pair of matching bedside tables. Sarah also wants to build a peaceful retreat in a corner of her garden. For inspiration, she takes Laurie to Taunton to see the Willow Cathedral, a unique living structure, to recreate back at home.

Sarah and Graham turn their attention to the family room and how best to use the empty space downstairs. They draw inspiration from the Chinese bedroom at Longleat House and the plant-based textiles and natural dyes on display at London Fashion Week. Sarah realises that she can't carry on working in random parts of the house, so comes up with a plan to seamlessly weave her workspace into the living area.

Sarah and Graham start work on their grand plans for the outside of their home - to create a mini clock tower, complete with a bell, on the roof of the exterior building. But once it's up, they find out that it doesn't fit onto the timber housing. Sarah and Laurie also make a unique family flag and Graham personalises the weathervane.

Sarah and Graham discover a whole load of odd antiques and family heirlooms that have been passed down through generations. Sarah decides that the best way to use this stuff in their new home is to transform their downstairs cloakroom into a Victorian cupboard of curiosities. Graham is reunited with some old taxidermy friends that they've inherited over the years, while Sarah and Laurie create some wooden coat hooks.

Graham and Sarah turn their attention to the garden, as they set out to turn Graham's picture of what he hopes the view from their kitchen may eventually look like into a reality. They go on the hunt for trees and shrubs that would improve the backdrop to their lake, restore an old bridge over a stream near their pond, and finish off the wall around the new terrace area.

Sarah and Graham measure up an area of lawn for a greenhouse which will provide not just a place to grow plants, but also a quiet spot for Sarah to retreat to. Sarah and Graham take Raffey and Laurie to the International Worm Charming Festival in Blackawton, Devon, while the family band prepare to go on tour, which will conclude with a gig at the CarFest music festival in Laverstoke Park, Hampshire.
