This week\u2019s episode of Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild takes the television presenter to Northumberland, where he meets a couple who swapped bustling London lives for a picturesque countryside home they built themselves.<\/p>\n

Kezz once worked in the music industry as a guitarist for some prolific acts, while Nathalie juggled two jobs as both a chimney sweep and a lap dancer \u2013 but in the end, they heard the call of the wild.<\/p>\n

Moving all the way up to Northumberland, they became caretakers of a secluded wood, building a home out of wood from the nearby forest and other salvaged materials.<\/p>

Those humble resources combined with an eagerness to do much of the building work themselves meant that the beautiful home had a shockingly cheap price tag, costing just \u00a325,000.<\/p>\n

In this exclusive clip for readers of RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Fogle can barely contain his amazement as he hears how little was spent on the spacious property. Watch below.<\/p>
