Au Ruisseau (Brookside)

Detached riverside cottage for 5, in idyllic location in the Canche Valley, one of the ‘Seven Valleys’, easily reached from Tunnel & Channel Ports.

‘Brookside’ sits alongside 65 metres of its own stream – a haven for wildlife as well as a wonderfully tranquil place to relax. The house is completely secluded by its own south facing garden, surrounded by fine trees and with lovely rural views, yet it is not isolated: the village of Willeman is in walking distance, and the fine historic market town of Hesdin is just a short drive.

The house has a welcoming, light and airy atmosphere. There is a spacious open plan lounge / dining area / kitchen with tiled floor and comfortable furnishings. There is English satellite TV (widescreen), a DVD player and a CD music centre. Two sets of French doors open onto the large garden and the riverbank. The kitchen is well fitted and equipped (microwave, coffee maker, ceramic hob etc). Also on the ground floor are a double bedroom, a bedroom with full size bunk beds and a shower room / W.C. Upstairs there is a simply furnished single bedroom and a mezzanine seating and play area, equipped with many books and toys. Electric panel radiators, excellent insulation and full double glazing keep the whole house cosily warm all year round.

There is also a Utility Room with newly fitted automatic washing machine and tumble dryer. Outside in the South facing garden there is a set of hardwood garden furniture and a hammock for those lazy days by the river.
