A family living "the rat race" sold their three-bedroom semi for £400,000 - and bought an entire French village.

Liz and David Murphy 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 £400,000 and used the cash to buy six 400-year-old houses, two barns and three-acres of land.
