Ideally located in the heart of the town, right next to the Grand Place de Béthune and its famous belfry, this magnificent freestone mansion house, built in 1920, is above all the bearer of a history.
Set in nearly 2,000 sqm of wooded parkland enclosed by high walls, and located on the ruins of a former 16th-century Franciscan convent, some of the remains of which are still listed as historic monuments, This exceptional residence was built on the site of one of France's first sugar factories, created in Béthune in 1818 by the owner of the site, the Dellisse-Engrand family, who discovered a process for transforming sugar from beet pulp that paved the way for the development of the sugar industry in northern France.
It is from this dual historical and industrial past that this superb building draws its roots and its character.
Now entirely renovated by Master Craftsmen and Compagnons du Devoir, with a focus on excellence and tradition, it offers a range of exceptional services of the highest standard, making it a truly outstanding product.
Spread over three floors, the building spans almost 1,000 sqm and offers on the ground floor an immense reception room of more than 110 sqm, with high ceilings, very bright and overlooking the park and the ruins of the old church, as well as a smoking room, a kitchen and a scullery.
The first floor features a lift to five elegantly decorated themed lounges and a new reception room.
The second floor, also served by a lift, comprises two luxury flats, each around 100 sqm in size and fully renovated and equipped.
In addition, the plot has planning permission and, subject to compliance with town planning regulations, could be used to build any number of extensions (swimming pool, outbuildings, etc.).
Perfectly integrated into its urban surroundings, this very high quality town house is the very image of luxury and refinement enriched by the traces of history.
Situated 40 km from Lille and 150 km from Brussels, Béthune is only 1h20 from Paris by TGV. Its position on the A26 motorway, known as the Autoroute des Anglais, means that you can quickly reach England via Calais by Eurostar, Shuttle or Ferry.
