For Sale
Once the historic capital of Béarn, the upper town of Lescar is perched on a fortified promontory, its medieval ramparts still visible today. Rebuilt after a major 15th-century fire, the town’s historic centre around the cathedral retains a charming, harmonious character. Just minutes from Pau, Lescar combines heritage, tranquillity, and excellent local amenities, making it a highly sought-after address.
Set against the old ramparts, this authentic 14th-century property is a rare find within the historic town. It features a delightful elevated rear garden, offering privacy and glimpses of the Pyrenees between neighbouring rooftops, along with a terrace perfect for relaxing. A walled front garden, a garage, and off-street parking complete the exterior.
The house offers approximately 162 m² over three floors, full of original charm. The main entrance opens onto a welcoming hall with a period staircase and guest WC. To the right, a cosy and authentic sitting room enjoys dual-aspect windows and a wood-burning stove. To the left, a convivial kitchen with space for dining, leads to a bathroom and then provides direct access to the rear garden via the orangery.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises three bedrooms and a shower room with WC, while the second floor features a flexible open space currently arranged as a fourth bedroom and large office. With its historic setting, rare character, and quality outdoor spaces, this property is just 15 minutes from Pau, with easy access to the motorway and local schools, including international institutions. A viewing is highly recommended.
