House in Saint-Venant

Historic manor, loft-style house and studio, and 3-hectare park

Exclusive: An exceptional estate in the heart of Saint-Venant— blending history, art, and nature.

Located on the banks of the Lys, facing a marina and just 100 meters from the main square, this rare and unexpected estate is set within a remarkable historic environment.

Built starting in 1880, this majestic manor house offers approximately 560 m² of living space. Meticulously preserved and restored to a high standard, it blends period charm with contemporary comfort. With a renewed slate roof, renovated facades, and double-glazed windows, the property is in excellent condition.
On the ground floor, a beautiful entrance hall leads to a study, a small sitting room, a large drawing room, a kitchen, and a scullery, while a corridor provides access to two dining rooms. The upper floors feature nine bedrooms and six bathrooms, offering ample accommodation for guests.

The property also includes a unique outbuilding: “La Poudrière,” a 250 m² house and studio converted in a loft style, featuring spacious living areas, bedrooms, and a wellness area with a spa. This distinctive property holds the national “Pôle d’Excellence Rurale” (Rural Excellence Hub) designation.

The park, a magnificent landscaped setting, is renowned for its exceptional qualities:
– A private, enclosed, and secure 2,000 m² pond—fed by the canalized Lys River—created from the site of the original Vauban moats.
– Remarkable trees and rare plant species from various continents; the garden is officially certified and listed (CNPJ France).

Steeped in history, the estate notably hosted the headquarters of the Indian Army, the Portuguese Army, and the war headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief of the British and Commonwealth forces. Today, it holds the national “Lieu de mémoire 14/18” (World War I Memorial Site) designation.

A place of inspiration, it has been exquisitely enhanced by talented interior designers.

Ideally located, the estate offers excellent accessibility:
Béthune and Hazebrouck TGV stations nearby
Lille 40 minutes away
Quick access to the A26 motorway
Merville-Calonne Airport

A rare property combining tranquility, prestige, nature, and history, in the heart of Saint-Venant—a town with a remarkable destiny.
