Living in a friend's mobile home, Paul Mappley and Yip Ward were struggling to get a foot on the property market. But after taking a bold leap of faith, the couple are now the proud owners of an entire French village.
Costing them just £22,000, La Busliere in Normandy consists of six cottages, two barns and a paddock. And, as reported by the Mirror, its new owners are planning to turn their very own hamlet into a luxury holiday site.
Paul and Yip featured on Channel 4 show Help, We Bought A Village! on Monday. Both 48 and landscape gardeners, they explained they were living in a caravan in Tunbridge Wells in Kent when they decided to opt out of finding a home in the UK.
