About this property
Spacious House in Tranquil Location - Ideal for Groups & Families
1 Hameau Bretigny is a large, comfortable and characterful French country house situated in a quiet rural location (hamlet of 5 houses). It is around 20 minutes drive from Dieppe or 1hour 45minutes from Calais. Nearby is the Normandy coast and the towns of Dieppe and Le Treport for meals out. The house was constructed in 1838 and is furnished in a traditional style with French and English furnishings. It is a ideal for entertaining families and groups. There are bicycles for guests use and a fitness and gym equipment.
The house sleeps up to 14 guests if the optional family room is taken.
Ground Floor:
Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Room, Sitting Room, Toilet and Shower Room
First Floor
3 x double bedrooms (one with cotbed), 1x twin room, Bathroom with bath (with a view) & seperate shower
2nd Floor / Loft
Family room with 2x double and 1x single bed. Games room with table tennis and entertainment.
Large and secluded gardens with patios at the front and the back of the house.
Central heating and how water is provided by a large oil fired boiler, with on demand hot water for baths and showers. The wood burning stove in the lounge has air distribution pipes to the loft. This is a warm and toasty house – perfect after a bracing winter walk on the coast.
The house has broadband Wifi and satellite tv (basic UK channels), dvd player and roku for netflix etc.
Externally
Cycle storage room with stands, repair stand and tools. Patio areas to the front and back of the house with furniture, loungers and parasols. Kettle bbq, children’s wendy house and outdoor toys.
Condition Note:
We feel it is worth disclosing the following to avoid any disputes or misunderstandings. The house is over a 150 years old and has many antique and older items. Some walls are the original torchis (mud and straw) and not perfectly true or smooth, floor boards may be unlevel and furniture doors may squeak. This does not come across on photos, whilst most people will appreciate the house, perfectionists and people used to staying in 5 star hotels may be disappointed. The standard aimed for is safety, cleanliness, comfort and function.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Stephen Cresswell

Owned by the Cresswell family. Stephen & Sonia look after the house. All are keen on socialising and entertaining.
Why they chose this property
The property is family owned and was used as a holiday home and for entertaining for many years. We have recently decided to put the house on the rental market so it can be used by others.
It is close to South of England, it is in a very relaxing location allowing us to get away from the pressures and congestion back at home. Always sleep well due to the quiet and the fresh Normandy air (also the wine!).
