Property for sale in Béthune, 62400, Nord-Pas-De-Calais, France

Ideally located in the heart of the town, right next to the Grand Place de Bethune 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 Bethune 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 service...
