IN PRÉSEAU, A RARE GEM - 162 M² OF LIVING SPACE TODAY, UP TO ABOUT 286 M² TOMORROW

Some houses stand out for their square meters.

And then there are those you remember for the feeling you get when you step through their door.

In Préseau, one of the most sought-after rural areas in Valenciennois, this 1920s longère is one of those rare properties that seldom come on the market.

You enter the property passing under a fully restored old dovecote, now a true entrance porch.

Behind it lies a completely private inner courtyard, sheltered from all views.

Then the longère reveals itself.

The old brick, the spaciousness, the light... and at the end of the building, a contemporary wooden frame extension that extends the L-shaped house.

On one side, nearly a century of history.

On the other, all the comforts of today.

And around, peace, privacy, and fields.

A LIVING ROOM THAT SETS THE TONE

Inside, nearly 90 m² is dedicated to the living area.

A contemporary fitted and equipped kitchen centers around a large island and opens onto the dining area, then a generous lounge.

A fireplace with a mixed wood/pellet insert adds warmth and character.

Large openings naturally extend the house onto the terrace, garden, and fields.

Here, inside and outside seem designed to live together.

A MASTER SUITE APART

At the end of the longère, the house extends with a true contemporary wooden frame construction.

This is where the master suite is located: a large bedroom, a real dressing room, and a bathroom designed with a high-end hotel spirit.

Freestanding bathtub, large walk-in shower, double sinks, and separate toilet.

A large laundry room with direct access to the approximately 40 m² garage completes this level.

The entire 162 m² living space allows for fully single-level living today.

AND UPSTAIRS, NEARLY 125 M² STILL WAITING FOR THEIR STORY

This is probably where the house truly becomes unique.

Above the 162 m² already habitable are two floors offering nearly 125 m² more to be developed.

Roof, insulation, floors, and dormer windows are already in place, with a magnificent exposed frame that immediately gives character to these volumes.

Once developed, the property could thus reach about 286 m² of living space.

To help future owners better envision this, the last photo in the listing shows a realistic example of possible layout for this floor, including 3 additional bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an office, and a large recreational room.

We naturally have cost estimates and companies ready to carry out this project.

Feel free to contact me to learn more or to imagine a different layout that fits your own project.

A RENOVATION THAT GOES BEYOND WHAT YOU SEE

Since 2018, this property has undergone particularly careful renovation.

Brick wall insulation, highly insulated wooden frame extension, insulated floors, roof insulation, double-glazed PVC windows, reversible air/air heat pump, electric underfloor heating, inertia radiators, 270-liter thermodynamic water heater, ventilation system...

This work allows this 1920s longère to now have an energy rating of DPE C and GES A.

The charm of the old, without sacrificing today’s energy comfort.

OUTSIDE, TWO ATMOSPHERES

At the entrance side, the inner courtyard is completely private and shielded from view, accessible under the restored dovecote.

On the other side of the house, the atmosphere changes completely.

The terrace and garden open onto the fields, with no overlooking, offering the sense of space and countryside that one seeks in Préseau.

An old well on the terrace and a superb fully vaulted cellar further recall the history of the place.

PRÉSEAU: COUNTRYSIDE AT THE GATES OF VALENCIENNES

The location fully contributes to the appeal of this property.

Préseau offers a highly sought-after rural environment in Valenciennois, while remaining less than 10 minutes from Valenciennes.

Major highways are accessible within minutes, allowing easy travel to Lille, Paris, or Belgium.

Le Quesnoy and surrounding villages are also quickly reachable.

A location that lets you enjoy daily peace and greenery without being far from main roads and Valenciennes.

A HOUSE ALREADY COMPLETE, YET STILL FULL OF POSSIBILITIES

162 m² to settle in today.

Nearly 125 m² more to imagine tomorrow.

A secret courtyard behind its dovecote.

A huge living area.

A master suite worthy of a hotel.

A vaulted cellar.

A garden open to the fields.

And the rather rare possibility to expand the house up to about 286 m² without losing what makes its charm today.

The hardest part, in the end, might be telling it all in one listing.
