We bought a village in France after selling Manchester home

  • 2 days ago
A couple sold their £400k Manchester home and brought an entire French village say their lives have improved since leaving the UK and have no plans to return.

Liz Murphy, 47, and her husband, David, 55, purchased the historic rural hamlet of Lac De Maison, in Poitou-Charentes, south west France, in January 2021.

The couple sold their three-bed home in Manchester for £400k and used the cash to buy six 400-year-old houses, two barns and three-acres of land.

They have turned their tranquil town into a thriving business - with their three holiday homes almost fully booked for summer 2024.
