Key Features
Location
This four-storey riverside property stands in the centre of Ducey, a lively market town offering shops, restaurants, cafés, schools, and everyday services. The grounds extend to the river, creating a distinctive setting in the heart of the town. A separate cottage on site provides additional accommodation that could be adapted for owner use, staff housing, or guest facilities.
Ducey is located just 25 minutes from Mont Saint-Michel, one of France’s most visited landmarks. The town is also within easy reach of the bay and beaches of Normandy, the coastal resort towns of Granville and Cancale, and the historic city of Avranches. The surrounding countryside offers walking and cycling along the river Sélune, which is renowned for salmon fishing. Regional nature parks, including the Parc Naturel Régional Normandie-Maine, are also accessible.
Layout & Development Potential
The property provides a substantial amount of internal space across four floors. The ground floor can be adapted to form an open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area, suitable for communal or guest use. The upper floors are large enough to accommodate four good-sized ensuite bedrooms, with natural light from wide window openings. The structure and layout offer scope for development as a Bed & Breakfast, guesthouse, or gîte business, while still providing private living quarters for owners or managers.
Architectural & Period Features
Built in traditional stone, the house retains original elements including a period façade, timber features, and internal stonework. The proportions of the rooms, high ceilings, and wide windows provide a framework for renovation that can combine character with modern comfort. A staircase links all levels of the property, allowing flexibility in how the accommodation is arranged.
Outdoor Areas
The grounds include a private courtyard and outbuildings that could be used for storage, workshops, or future conversion. The garden extends to the river, with scope to create landscaped areas, guest seating, or outdoor recreational spaces. Mature planting and riverside views enhance the potential of the outdoor setting.
Practical Aspects & Transport
Ducey has all the services needed for day-to-day living, while also serving as a gateway to the wider region. Avranches, with its larger retail centres and historic abbey, is only 10 minutes away. The beaches of Carolles, Jullouville, and Granville can be reached in under 40 minutes, offering leisure and sailing facilities.
Rennes is just over an hour’s drive, providing an international airport, and ferry connections are available at Saint-Malo (1 hour 15 minutes) and Caen (1 hour 50 minutes). The tgv from Laval, around 40 minutes by car, connects to Paris in under 2 hours.
