In 2015, Sean Baldock and Lolly Curran made a bold decision to leave the United Kingdom. Instead of opting for a seaside villa in Spain or a charming rural home in Italy, the couple chose an abandoned village in France. (Photo: La Galiserie/Channel 4)
Sean and Lolly sold their home in Sussex and purchased the long-abandoned village of La Galiserie for £118,000 (over 4.1 billion VND). (Photo: La Galiserie)
La Galiserie is a small village comprising a large manor and surrounding buildings. It lacked electricity, running water, doors, and windows. (Photo: La Galiserie)
The village had fallen into complete disrepair after being neglected for over 50 years. (Photo: La Galiserie)
Alongside the cluster of buildings, Lolly and Sean own about two acres of land once used for farming, now overgrown with weeds. (Photo: La Galiserie)
Lolly and Sean spent years renovating the buildings, determined to breathe new life into La Galiserie and transform it into a retreat. (Photo: La Galiserie)
Today, Lolly and Sean have completed several guest rooms and are ready to welcome visitors. (Photo: La Galiserie)
Locals are amazed and delighted by how Sean and Lolly have transformed the abandoned buildings. After the renovation, the couple enjoys a slower pace of life at La Galiserie. (Photo: La Galiserie)
