This stylishly renovated townhouse is currently a wonderful family home. It is also the perfect size to use as a holiday home or to rent out to long-term tenants or to holidaymakers as a self-catering gîte. As well as having three or four bedrooms, the property also has a large covered terrace and an amazing garden!
Ready to move into straight away, the house is absolutely ideal for anyone who works from home - and if you have children, you have a good choice of schools in Oloron-Ste-Marie, some of which are within easy walking distance.
The front door of the house opens into a spacious open-plan main room with a sitting area, a dining area, a kitchen area and a wood-burning stove.
Adjoining the main room is a second reception room, which has sliding patio doors out to the covered terrace and garden. This room would be ideal to use as an office, a fourth bedroom or a separate dining room or sitting room.
Also on the ground floor is a boiler room with WC, which is accessible from the main room and a small utility space underneath the staircase.
The first floor comprises a sunny south-west-facing bedroom, a second bedroom overlooking the garden and a third bedroom which needs some finishing touches. In addition, there is a dressing room, a chic shower room and a separate WC.
The staircase continues up to unconverted loft space on the second floor, which could be used to create a small bedroom or playroom for children (permission required).
Outside, the covered terrace is adjoined by a small walled garden and is the ideal spot for an outdoor dining area and a summer kitchen/barbecue area.
Beyond the walled garden, the main part of the garden is bordered by mature trees and shrubs, including an ancient apple tree! At the far end is a small garden shed, which could be used as an art studio, an office, a playhouse for children...
Should you be hoping to set up a small tourism-related business, the property could be ideal for hosting Bed & Breakfast guests, although you might want to create one or more en suite shower rooms. The townhouse is also perfectly located for a "Gîte d'Étape" business on the Voie d'Arles of the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle, since Oloron-Ste-Marie is at the end of one stage (étape) on the route and the departure point for the next stage as the pilgrims head south into Spain... But above all, the Chemin and the pilgrims pass your front door!
Oloron-Ste-Marie has many excellent amenities, including two weekly farmers' markets, two hypermarkets, a hospital, a theatre, a cinema, a swimming pool and various sports clubs. For families with children, there are schools for all ages within walking distance of the property. There is also a free shuttle bus, which stops close by.
This historic townhouse is a short stroll away from the 5th-century stone ramparts, which encircle this Mediaeval hilltop area of Oloron-Ste-Marie... And from where the panoramic views of the Pyrénées are simply stunning!

the potential!
This gorgeous townhouse is perfect for a family home or a holiday home - and with three bedrooms on the first floor and a second reception room/office/fourth bedroom on the ground floor, you will have plenty of room to accommodate your friends and family when they come to stay!
The second reception room/office/fourth bedroom could also be used as a consulting room if you work from home... Or the layout of the ground floor could be reconfigured to create a bedroom with an en suite shower room at the front of the house. It might also be possible to use the unconverted loft space, if desired (permission required).
Should you be looking for an investment property, the townhouse would be perfect for long-term rentals or to rent out as a gîte, both during the summer months and the skiing season. There are several ski resorts just 35 - 40 minutes away, as well as exciting mountain trails for walkers and cyclists all year round.
You could also offer Bed and Breakfast accommodation to tourists visiting the area, as well as pilgrims who are following the Chemin-de-St-Jacques-de-Compostelle, which passes in front of the house! Pilgrims hope to find good-value overnight accommodation whenever possible (a "Gîte d'Étape") and most are happy to share dormitory-style bedrooms when necessary.
The gorgeous garden and covered terrace are the perfect spot for serving hearty suppers and delicious breakfasts to your B&B guests just before they leave... Although they might be rather reluctant to leave your little corner of paradise!
