A property expert from North Yorkshire has appeared on BBC One’s Escape to the Country, which saw a TV star appear in the region.

Jessica Langford, who works in Northallerton for property and land consultancy youngsRPS, was featured on the daytime programme, which aired this week.

Her appearances come after producers selected multiple properties from the company’s portfolio for filming, including two homes in Osmotherley that appeared in the final episode.

The episode featured numerous locations in North Yorkshire, including Pateley Bridge, Osmotherley, and Thornton-le-Dale, among others.

It also saw Jessica meeting the BBC programme host, Richie Anderson.

Jan Claridge, Marketing & PR Manager at youngsRPS, said: "We were absolutely delighted to see Jessica invited to appear as a guest agent on Escape to the Country.

"It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase not only Jessica’s professionalism and expertise, but also the values that define youngsRPS.

"We take great pride in the local knowledge and trusted advice our people bring to every client relationship.

"Our teams understand their markets, their communities and the unique stories behind the properties we represent, and that is what makes our approach so valuable.

"To have several properties from our North Yorkshire portfolio selected for filming, and to see Jessica represent both our Northallerton office and the wider youngsRPS brand so confidently on a national stage, was a proud moment for everyone involved."

Ms Langford was invited to participate after impressing the show’s production team with her professional approach, in-depth local knowledge, and expertise in the North Yorkshire property market.

She said: "It was a fantastic experience to be involved with such a well-loved programme and a real privilege to represent both youngsRPS and the North Yorkshire property market on a national stage.

"We are incredibly proud of the homes we bring to market, but just as importantly, we pride ourselves on understanding the places and communities they belong to.

"Being able to share that with a wider audience was something very special."

The episode was filmed last autumn and aired this week.

Although the properties featured on the show have since been sold, youngsRPS said the programme underscored the rising national interest in North Yorkshire’s rural housing market.
