Description

Character building – rue Louis Barthou – historic center of Oloron-Sainte-Marie (64400).
Comprising ground-floor commercial premises of approx. 31 m² with shop window overlooking the street, a bright 131 m² T4 duplex apartment on the first floor (large living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms), and a second duplex apartment of approx. 90 m² on the lower level, to be fully converted and opening onto the river. Exceptional location close to shops, schools and free shuttle to Oloron-Sainte-Marie. Pleasant setting on the banks of the Gave, with water sports activities in season (kayaking…).

This charming old building, whose origins probably date back to the late Middle Ages or the 16th century, was remodeled in the 18th and 19th centuries. It retains many authentic features, such as stone walls, bolt holes and a wooden gallery typical of houses on the banks of the Gave.

Entrance to the property is via the pedestrian street. At the rear, the house overlooks the gardens adjoining the property but not forming part of it, and the Gave d’Oloron below.

The first floor houses the commercial premises (31m²), with a shop window overlooking the street, ideal for a professional activity, workshop or treatment room. The hallway opens onto a private entrance hall, from which an elegant wooden staircase leads to the living quarters, spread over two floors:

– On the second floor, a separate kitchen (17 m²) with an unobstructed view over the Gave, a bright double living room (32m²), a shower room and separate toilet;
– Second floor: 3 large, bright bedrooms (14, 17 and 14 m²), bathroom and separate toilet.

Two lower levels totalling approx. 90 m² complete the ensemble. Currently in the process of being completely renovated, these areas benefit from external openings, made possible by the natural gradient of the land, and could, after renovation, be converted into apartments, in a central area of Oloron where rental demand remains active.
The floors are cement screed, with existing water and electricity supplies. We can help with the work, providing cost estimates and putting you in touch with craftsmen to help you plan future layouts.

Double-glazed wood joinery in the living area, single-glazed wood windows on the lower levels, slate roof, town gas boiler for heating and hot water, mains drainage (a lifting system is required for the lower level).

This rare property combines calm, character, central location and high development potential, whether for a main residence, professional project or mixed use.
