This very attractive former school is now a spacious family home with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and generously sized reception rooms. The gardens cover just over an acre and there is also an outbuilding and a workshop. The centre of Hesdin is just 5km away.
The habitable space is very generous with 284m2 in total and the huge attic space looks cavernous enough to host a roller disco! If you have a large family, or need to accommodate large get-togethers of family and friends, this would be a great base. Here's the current layout:
Ground floor
Entrance hall
Open plan sitting / dining room - 48m2
Kitchen with space for a dining table - 30m2
Office
Linen room
Cloakroom
Utility room
WC
Ground floor bedroom with ensuite shower room
First floor
5 bedrooms - one with ensuite bathroom and several others with hand basins.
Store room
Attic of 120m2 and cellar beneath the house.
Outside
The views from the house stretch across the beautiful countryside of the Canche valley and the garden is a really lovely feature of the property - great for ball games, climbing trees, generally letting off steam and dining alfresco. If you would like the excuse to buy a sit-on lawn mower, look no further! There is also a useful outbuilding and workshop that complete the property.
Location
The Old School House is in the Canche Valley, in the pretty village of Vieil-Hesdin. Hesdin is a popular town with a good choice of restaurants, shops and an excellent weekly market. The stretch of coast between Calais and the River Somme (Cote 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.
