Location
Greater Lille is France’s fourth-biggest conurbation. Lying in the heart of northern Europe, it is a thriving business hub and a spot that draws visitors. Lille is also a vibrant cultural destination. It is home to leading institutions in higher education and it hosts major sports events too. The apartment lies in a neighbourhood near Lille Catholic University, not far from Lille Citadel and its parkland – the city’s oasis of greenery – and from the street Rue Nationale – one of the city’s main roads. Shops and amenities are just a short stroll away from the property. Lille’s high-speed train station is only a 10-minute walk from the home. From this station, you can get to Paris in just one hour by train and to London in two hours with Eurostar. You can drive to Belgium, 15 kilometres away, to Brussels, 110 kilometres away, and to Paris, 220 kilometres away.
Description
The apartment lies up on the fourth floor of an elegant edifice that contains seven apartments. It was built in the 1960s beside Foch square, where a statue of the famous marshal Foch towers opposite the building. A red-brick facade with plain lines has a series of small balconies on each level. They look out at the square. You enter the building through a double entrance fitted for security and a glass door fitted with an intercom. The building stands out for the excellent condition of its communal areas. A recently installed lift takes you to the seven floors. At the back of the entrance area, there is a door to the garage too. This door is also fitted for security. A utility room on the court side of the ground floor and a small cellar in the basement are also part of the property.
The apartment
The apartment has a spacious entrance hall with a cloakroom. There is a 37m² lounge with a stone fireplace and a separate kitchen that is plain and practical beside a hallway at the back of the building. There are four bedrooms, ranging in floor area from 11m² to 18m². Two bathrooms with showers, a shower room, two lavatories, many large storage spaces and bookshelves complete the apartment. The apartment is a dual-aspect dwelling, bathed in natural light from large double-glazed windows. It has four balconies with wrought-iron balustrades. The lounge faces south-west and leads out onto a balcony on which a table and chairs could be placed.
Our opinion
This apartment will delight any lover of built heritage looking for a main home or a pied-à-terre in an outstanding city backdrop. The dwelling is nestled in a highly sought-after district of Lille that extends around the leafy Foch square. The area is calm and close to shops, schools, amenities and public transport links. You can settle into this comfortable home straight away without having to carry out any renovation work. It has kept a discreet nobility, in harmony with the sector in which it lies. This peaceful property offers a wide range of possibilities. It is a secret haven that enjoys much sunlight. The apartment is for sale with an indoor parking place in the building, which is yet another asset.
