Villa for sale in Ossun, Hautes-Pyrénées, France

In the heart of a dynamic market town, and in the middle of the towns of Lourdes, Tarbes and Pau, this house offers 75m² on the ground floor and is just waiting to be finished off. The ground floor is completely renovated with taste and with quality materials. It just remains for a future owner to complete the renovation of the loft space and the barn opposite the main house. The property sits in manageable gardens of 600m², which are enclosed and in a quiet area and not overlooked.


The house has been built in the traditional Bigourdane style. The south facing front door is partly glazed, and opens directly into the large and luminous main living area (45m²), also south facing, with built in cupboards. This room is divided into an office area by the window, with a wood burner which heats the entire house, a dining area, and a living room with its original open fireplace which has been closed off and made into an alcove. The kitchen is divided from the rest of the room by a breakfast bar. Small but very functional (6m²) the kitchen is in fact very well equipped. A small hallway takes you to the ground floor bedroom (12m²) which opens on to a small terrace to the west, and an en suite bathroom (5m²) very nicely equipped.

There is also a separate wc with wash hand basin, and a cellar (4m²).

The entire ground floor is tiled, the double walls are well insulated, there is pvc double glazing (guaranteed 10 years), the house has been completely rewired and well thought out, and all the materials are of a very good quality.

A wooden staircase takes you to the loft space, which offers the same floor area as the ground floor albeit some in the eaves. This area could be converted into two bedrooms, an office and a bathroom. A good builder could effect these renovations at a very reasonable price.

Opposite the house, on the other side of the main courtyard, a barn (80m²) built, as the house, in unknapped stone, also offers potential for conversion.

The gardens of about 600m² are flat, and mainly laid to lawn with flower beds, and are completely enclosed and bordered on one edge by a small canal and on another by a small road.

The house dates from 1846, and faces south and is not overlooked. The walls are of stone, and well insulated from the inside, the roof is partly slate and partly everite. The heating is mainly supplied by the woodburner, backed up by electric radiators, there is pvc double glazing, and mains drainage.

This property is close to all shops, banks and schools, 20mins from Tarbes, from the station (TGV), and from the motorway, 15mins from Lourdes, 30 mins from Pau (Ryanair), 1 hour from Spain and the lower ski slopes, 1hr 30mins from Biarritz and from the Atlantic beach resorts, 1hr 50mins from Toulouse (Easyjet, Flybe, BMIBaby, Aer Lingus), and 2hrs 30mins from the Mediterranean.
