THIRSK estate agent Gateway has found a country escape for a TV programme.

Viewers of Escape to the Country, to be screened on BBC2, are invited to consider moving to the countryside.

The Reading Rooms, in Carlton Husthwaite, will be a featured property on Friday.

The Reading Rooms comfortably met the BBC's criteria - within one hours drive of Leeds, not on a housing estate, three bedrooms and a price of no more than £200,000.
