Richard E Grant sells £500,000 luxury farmhouse in Provence to Jim Piddock and Ann Cusack

Celebrity couple, actors Jim Piddock and Ann Cusack, will become the new owners of the home.

Richard owned the cosy farmhouse that was decorated with traditional and rustic pieces.

It went on the market in July this year listed for €570,000, or around £498,087.

Richard explained he was sad to part with the property he had lived so long.

"Heart sore to sell Le Pigeonnier in Provence after 30 Summers," he posted on X at the time.

"Sleeps 7, pool, badminton, olive and fruit trees."

​Richard mentioned some of the luxuries of the home, including an outdoor pool and badminton court.

The property also features an outhouse with a bedroom and shower for guests to stay over.

He spoke about the property when discussing the death of his wife, Joan Washington, who died in 2011.

"Thirty-three years ago my wife and I bought a little house here in the South of France when my daughter was just six weeks old, and it's very emotional being here having to sort through her clothes and deal with other things," Richard previously said.
