The Coach House
About the home
The coach house was built in 1834 to serve the local chateau. It then became a barn for the local farmer and was converted 20 years ago into two adjoining houses with the original features being retained where possible.
The coach house sits in 1000m2 of lawned garden, and has a large kitchen diner and sitting room each of which have their own terrace. There are two bedrooms and the sitting room could serve as a third bedroom through the introduction of either a sofa bed or two fold up beds.
It is set in beautiful rolling countryside ideal for walking and cycling. It is two minutes from the Avenue Vert long distance cycle and walking route and is the centre for a number of Grand Randonees. It is twenty minutes from the historic port town of Dieppe, with its market, harbour, shops, restaurants, museum and beach.

The Normandy / Seine-Maritime region


The countryside around St Vaast was the market garden for Paris. Well served by railways, the immediate area became the weekend retreat for wealthy Parisians who built grand houses including Bois de Moutiers designed by Lutyens house with garden by Getrude Jekyll and Chateau de Miromesniel, the home of Guy de Maupassant.
Dieppe is the closest port to Paris and has been for centuries the haunt for writers and artists in retreat from Paris and London, the most notable being Oscar Wilde. Dieppe's Saturday market is reputed to be the best in northern France and the shops are excellent. The town is well served by restaurants, particularly around the picturesque inner harbour.
The countryside is charming with chalk hills cut with wooded deep valleys with several large and ancient beech forests. The area is predominantly agricultural dotted with villages with the Pays de Bray being the centre for dairy products and the famous cheese Neufchatel being the oldest cheese in Normandy dating back 11th century. There are numerous footpaths and small lanes crossing the area making it ideal for country pursuits.
The coast is half and hour away and there are a range of beach resorts from bay of the Somme to the mouth of the Seine. For rainy days, there is a large aquatic centre and spa in Dieppe.
The Saint Vaast d'Equiqueville area
St Vaast is centrally located between Dieppe and the market town of Neufchatel, famous for its local cheese. The village is on the Avenue Verte, a long distance cycle and walking path which will one day link Paris to London. It is excellent walking territory and is also central to a number of Grande Randonees.
St Vaast is a working village with a vibrant community. There are two bakers, a village shop and adjoining bar, post office, primary school, tennis courts.

Reviews

The house was entered when we were not there. Towels for only 3 guest not 4 and quality of towels supplied was terrible, should only be used as rags or anilmals. Bed were okay in one room but childrens in the other. and terrible. Owner was very helpful when booking. Housekeeper i think just thought we were a general nuisance Response: We have been in touch with our disappointed clients. They returned to the house and found lights on and concluded had that someone entered while they were out. No one could have entered but, if leaving in daylight, it is easy to switch some lights on when thinking they are going off. They “felt our privacy had been invaded, not a great feeling” which we believe colored their stay – it's a great shame. The beds were bought new in France in 2009 and are standard for adults and the towels bought at M&S in London in 2010. |
