Before we knew it Easter was upon us in early April and it was pleasing to see all the windows and doors had been installed and the Grange was now water tight. The plasterboard had been installed to create the utility room downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs. In addition, the first fix electrics were all installed.
It was now possible to get a real feeling of the proportions of the space and height we had with our 3 metre ceiling both down and upstairs.
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.
