Pretty 4-Bed Cottage, Wail, Pas-De-Calais,

Property Description

Situated in a village in the beautiful Canche Valley, this 4-bed cottage has a lovely wooded garden with river frontage.  This is a great area for exploring and the medieval town of Hesdin is just 10 mins away.  There is a pop-up fresh veg shop in the village and a restaurant an easy bike ride away in the next village.  The coast is just 35 mins away and Calais ferry port a 1hr 15min drive.

Outside

The mature gardens that runs down the Canche river are a real feature of this property.  A sunny terrace runs along the southside of the house and it’s a wonderful spot to sit and watch the the river slowly pass by.  There are lots of mature trees and shrubs and this does feel like a real haven for wildlife.

There is plenty of private parking as well as a garage that adjoins the house.  

Location

Wail is a pretty village that runs along the river.  If you are a keen angler, there are fishing lakes on the edge of the village.  It is just 8mins from 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.
