'House left empty 27 years will be my forever home'
July 12, 2025
|Daily Express
A BRITISH woman is renovating a 500-year-old farmhouse in France abandoned by her family 27 years ago and so dilapidated it was taken over by animals.
Sam Maunder, 34, has been working on it for six years and reckons it will take three more to complete, in a project costing “thousands”.
She said the place was a concrete-floored “shell” when her parents bought it for £12,000 in 1993, when it had been empty for 50 years.
The family moved in when Sam was four and had grand plans to renovate the house, two cottages and a barn on the land in the Dordogne.

A bitter blow for local papers and those they serve
FROM the pandemic lockdowns to business rates hikes and changing consumer behaviours - pubs and licensed premises have been hit hard in recent years. I've been a firsthand witness to the sad decline or closure of far too many. So I'm genuinely thrilled that the Government has recognised the need for action to support these institutions.
