Just twenty minutes by car from Calais, this spacious home sits in glorious countryside in the village of Escalles. Around a twenty-minute walk from the beach and the famous cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, it's the perfect place for a break, just a short drive from Calais.

Backing onto agricultural land, this home boasts an attractive, lawned garden with plenty of space for kids to play and a wraparound patio so you can sit outside in the summer months and barbecue in the sunshine. You can even admire the colourful herd of cow statues at the bottom of the field.

Inside, this converted farm building is everything you want from a holiday home and is just as perfect for a group of friends as it is for a family. The vaulted ceiling and historic beams are matched with modern styling, new windows and comfy furniture. And the big, open layout on the ground floor makes it ideal for the whole group to hang out over dinner.

*One bedroom with bathroom is set on the ground floor
*There's private parking on the drive
*You'll have laptop-friendly workspace if you'll be working remotely during your stay
