The stunning part of Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge's sprawling estate we never saw on Channel 4 show
A stunning part of Escape To The Chateau stars Dick and Angel Strawbridge 's sprawling estate we never saw on the Channel 4 show has been revealed. The reality show, which ran from 2016 to 2022, followed the British couple as they bought and renovated a 19th-century French chateau. The pair juggled doing up the manor in north-west France with raising two young children and running a wedding and event planning business. After a whopping nine series of the programme, the Strawbridges started a weekly podcast in 2023 called Dick & Angel's providing chateau life updates. But despite the wealth of content out there about their home life, there is one aspect of Chateau de la Motte-Husson we have never been privy to. A recent snap the family posted to social media shows off their gorgeous, tucked-away vegetable garden, surrounded by lush trees and climbing plants. In the Instagram post, Dick, 65, was seen walking alongside the abundant beds with his children Arthur, 13, and Dorothy, 11. The youngsters were helping their father pick the homegrown produce, with stunning views of the turreted property behind them. The secluded part of the chateau's sprawling 12-acre grounds is located close to the main house, presumably to provide easy access to the kitchen garden. But it is seemingly surrounded by tall brick walls and shaded by lofty trees, perhaps explaining why viewers have not seen so much of this part of the property before. It is a beautiful outdoor space, with a charming arched entryway, neat and tidy planters and walkways lined by gorgeous flowers and shrubbery. As well as the walled garden, the family's land boasts an enormous barn, lots of outdoor seating and a huge private lake. It looks just as good in winter as in summer, with another postcard-perfect snap shared by the family, in November last year, showing it covered in glittering frost. But despite the looks of their idyllic lifestyle abroad, all has not been plain sailing at the chateau in recent times. As well as the walled garden, the family's land boasts an enormous barn, lots of outdoor seating and a huge private lake In March, Channel 4 revealed there would be an Escape To The Chateau spin-off - and the pair are not involved in any capacity. Dick and Angel took to Instagram shortly after the news broke to share a snap of one of their house designs - opting not to address the new show at all. They wrote: 'A very good morning to you! We're busy…lots of changes and lots of activity at the Chateau! Any guesses? 'To keep up to date with what's happening in our world, sign up to our newsletter! Link in bio! Have a terrific Tuesday! Xxx.' But while they remained silent on the programme, some rushed to the comments section to urge Dick and Angel to create another series of their original show. One wrote: 'We definitely need a new series! Please.' Another added: 'We're gunna need more episodes.' 'We need to have a new series to find out!,' a third pointed out. Dick and Angel took to Instagram shortly after the news broke to share a snap (pictured) of one of their house designs - opting not to address the new show at all A fourth questioned: 'New series? Please make a new series.' Escape To The Chateau was dramatically axed in 2022 shortly after bullying accusations were made in 2021. But earlier this year, Channel 4 revealed it was joining forces with Spark Media North to work on a daytime show called Chateau DIY: Win The Dream. The programme will give one of 12 pairs the chance to win their own chateau in France. It follows on from Chateau DIY, which is associated with Escape to the Château. Chateau DIY, which hit our screens in 2018, follows the lives of families who are renovating their properties in France. There have been eight seasons, with the last on our screens in December 2024.
