This is the story of the Gray Family search for a home in France and the eventual conversion of a Barn in the Creuse that has now been turned into a beautiful home for our family to enjoy in the years ahead. The story of La Grange Grise gives an indication of our experience of doing so between 2006 and 2016. Also added are details and history of the subsequent purchase and work on La Maison Grise from 2013 and the renovation work started in 2016 on the house opposite our the Grange.

Purchase Completion – September 2004
Having instructed the Notaries to proceed with both the purchase of the Grange and the Orchard, we eventually completed the purchase on 26th September 2004 and could then move ahead with drawing up the plans to secure the planning permission that would serve to pave the way to turning a farm building into a home.
