Elegant townhouse in the heart of a historic city

In the heart of the historic town of Lescar, this 162 sq m (1,745 sq ft) period house tells the story of several centuries while retaining the charm of a true townhouse. It offers spacious rooms, two garden areas, a garage, and ample parking, all particularly desirable features at this location. Its origins date back to the 4th century. The foundations, part of the ground floor, and the front wall of the property bear witness to this early period. The house was then partially destroyed in the 15th century, specifically the upper floor and roof, before evolving over the centuries. Inside, this history remains very much alive. Exposed beams and joists, terracotta floors, antique doors and woodwork, a wooden staircase, and an imposing fireplace give the house its character. The ground floor comprises a 25 sq m (269 sq ft) living room with a fireplace, a separate kitchen, and a bathroom. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer generous living spaces, including a particularly spacious master bedroom of nearly 29 sqm and a second of over 16 sqm. A shower room completes this level. On the top floor, the attic has been converted. Under the sloping roof, the exposed beams complement this additional space, which can be adapted to suit future needs. At the rear, the garden, lush and green, benefits from the generous shade of a mulberry-plane tree. The wall running through it is believed to be the former northern rampart of the Cité, dating from the 12th century, and is now a remarkable feature of the property. The house is habitable as is. A few updates will allow it to be adapted to contemporary needs, while preserving the historical elements that give it its charm and character. Perched on the heights of Lescar, the Cité offers a unique, almost village-like atmosphere, with the Pyrenees as a backdrop. Historic streets, a few cafes, and charming houses create a peaceful setting, away from the hustle and bustle. A characterful house, rich in history and ready for its next chapter.
