Hesdin, Pas-de-Calais, France

This 3-bed farmhouse is lovely and cosy, and is looking particularly smart as a result of the new roof.  It is surrounded by a very pretty 3/4 acre garden with mature trees and planting.  The lovely covered courtyard is ideal for dining alfresco and watching the birds in the garden.  The property is situated just a few minutes from Hesdin, and 1hr 10mins from Calais.

Known as a fermette, the property is a traditional small farmhouse and the original character features are present throughout.  While some of the decor would benefit from a revamp, the wooden beams are particularly beautiful and the open plan arrangement on the ground floor is a great living space.  There is also the potential to create additional accommodation in the attic (subject to planning permission) and there is also a vaulted cellar and a storeroom.  There is a total 135m2 habitable space.  Here's the layout:

Outside:

The garden covers just over 3/4 of an acre and is a real feature of the property.  With mature trees and planting and a fire circle surrounded by trees, this is a garden for adventures!  The covered dining terrace means you can sit out and watch the visiting birds, whatever the weather.  There are also two storage sheds.

Location:

The house is situated in a village near Hesdin.  This popular town has a good choice of restaurants, shops and an excellent weekly market. The stretch of coast between Calais and the River Somme (Côte d'Opale) can lay claim to having some of the best beaches in France, with miles of unspoilt sand and endless horizons where the sea seems to melt into the sky. Try the popular Stella Plage or Berck Plage for a stroll - or a dip if you are feeling brave.

The ferry port at Calais is an hour and 10 minutes by car whilst the famous beach resort of Le Touquet is close by, as is the medieval hilltop town of Montreuil with its renowned restaurants.
