There are no statistics dedicated to farmhouses and barns: a renovated farmhouse sells like a country house with outbuildings and land, whereas a bare barn or a farm to renovate often sells well below. The most useful benchmark therefore remains the price of country houses.

A departmental average hides large gaps. A smallholding to renovate, a restored longère with its outbuildings, a farmhouse on several hectares of land or a manor house with parkland do not sell at the same price, and the location matters as much as the building: coastline, tourist area, peri-urban countryside close to a job market or deep countryside. The table below shows the median price of country houses in Pas-de-Calais (62) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

In the Artois, the farmhouse is classically built around a closed courtyard in brick, with the dwelling, cowshed, stables and barn arranged around an enclosed space entered through a gateway. In the more hilly Boulonnais, farms often include more stone and flint, with steeper roofs to cope with sea winds. There is no mas in Pas-de-Calais: this type of building has no local equivalent. Some farms still have a corner turret, either a defensive remnant or a purely decorative feature inherited from past centuries.
These tall, deep brick barns can be converted into a home or several gîtes, subject to local planning zoning. The attached farmland, arable in the Artois or more hedgerow-based in the Boulonnais, from a few hectares to several dozen hectares, allows keeping horses or starting a permaculture project depending on the area. The wells and bread ovens that often accompany these farmhouses are charming features worth preserving.
The Ternois area, around Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise and Fruges, and the Sept Vallées area, around Hesdin, offer a wide reserve of farmhouses and barns to renovate. The inland Boulonnais, towards Desvres and Samer, still has accessible rural buildings. The Audomarois, around Saint-Omer and its marshes, offers a more specific building stock linked to the presence of water. Around Arras, served by the TGV, Artois farmhouses remain numerous in the immediate surroundings, particularly towards Bapaume and the former front-line villages rebuilt after the First World War.
On the Opal Coast, around Boulogne-sur-Mer, Le Touquet and Montreuil-sur-Mer, renovated farmhouses are scarce and noticeably more expensive due to coastal appeal. Further inland, in the Artois around Arras and Béthune, prices stay more moderate for comparable built volumes. The Ternois and Sept Vallées areas, further from the coast, offer the best ratio of built volume to budget.
Check the permitted use of the buildings: a barn zoned as agricultural land under the local plan can only become housing if it is identified as eligible for a change of use. Look at the roof (tile or slate depending on the area, and possible asbestos-cement on sheds), the timber frame, the drainage, and any tanks or manure pits to deal with. The damp, windy oceanic climate makes roof water-tightness a particularly sensitive point, especially close to the coast where winds are strongest.
If farmland is included, ask about any current farm lease, common in this arable-farming department, and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. Finally, cost the renovation precisely: restoring a brick Artois farm often requires a budget close to the purchase price, especially if the timber frame needs reinforcing or the external renders need to be redone entirely across a large courtyard.
