Jonnie Irwin catches up with a couple whose rural house-hunt involved a pack of alpacas.

Jonnie Irwin catches up with the entrepreneurial couple whose grand aspirations involved accommodating a pack of alpacas, a grand piano and paying guests in a rural Devon home.

First, he is invited to the north of the county by an entrepreneurial couple whose grand, rural aspirations needed to accommodate them, a pack of alpacas, a grand piano and paying guests. Later, he travels south to reunite with a couple at their picture-perfect home where they have found the space and time to indulge in their passions.
