Description
For sale immediately is this traditional French Farmhouse set within the picturesque countryside of the Seven Valleys region in Northern France. Located in the quiet village of Raye sure Authie, the property boasts 4 generous bedrooms, a large family kitchen, and a large living room with an open fire.
Built in the 19th Century with traditional methods this stunning property went through a refurbishment in 2001, the whole house being floor tiled throughout and a modern kitchen and bathroom installed. 3 years ago new hardwood double glazing was fitted throughout including oversize front and back doors - installation was carried out by top french craftsmen.
A large woodstore at the end of the house provides access to the large loft which offers an abundance of storage space or can be considered for conversion.
In the front garden stands a brick built bakery complete with ovens that used to supply the village with fresh bread (it now comes daily via a van that stops outside the house).
The house is set in a large enclosed, manageable garden of nearly half an acre mainly laid to lawn and with numerous shrubs, flowers, apple trees, and blackcurrant bushes.
Owned for 19 years by the current owners, this house is structurally in very good condition and has been well looked after and maintained. It was used as a holiday home for many years, and more recently has been rented out by the week to holidaymakers from UK and further afield, enjoying a healthy income.
A leisurely 90 minute drive from Calais, 75 minutes from the Tunnel, access from UK is easy. The countryside around Raye sur Authie is stunning, nearby is Crecy, Montreuil, Le Touquet, and other beautiful destinations.
External Features:
The house is set within spacious gated gardens which offer plenty of sunny and shaded spots. The large, south facing patio to the rear of the property makes an ideal setting for BBQ's and leisurely alfresco dining.
Internal Features:
The front door opens into a large open plan beamed farmhouse style kitchen/dining room. The original family dining table is an ideal place to gather round for a busy breakfast or relaxing dinner. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooker, washing machine, fridge freezer and microwave.

At this side of the house are the other 2 bedrooms, currently one used as a twin and one bunk bed room. Heating throughout is by use of electric heaters and the open fire in the living room.
The house is sadly being sold after nearly 2 decades of fantastic weekend breaks and long summer holidays due to the fact our family is growing and we need the money to buy a bigger house in England.
We are looking for offers in the region Euro175,000 and as we are looking to sell privately, this will save the buyer the agents fees of anything up to E20,000.
