That'll be the modular CPL then. Realistically you have to treat it as though you live in the UK - that's where your initial career goals should be. Being allowed to live and work in only one EASA state is extremely limiting so 95% of work available to you will be in the UK. By all means study for EASA exams as well, but you'll need a CAA license.
Try to get out of the mindset that you live in the countryside - you won't. A pilot goes where the work is so if you want to continue living where you do then give up on the dream right now.
Other than that your next step is to get a CAA class one medical
then some kind of PPL - British, French, US - it doesn't matter which. That is the starting point of a frozen ATPL.
