Beautiful character stone property with 7 ensuite bedrooms – ideal B&B.

This recently renovated property has been run as a B&B by the current owners – it is in an ideal position close to the Baie of Mont Saint Michel and the beach.  It now offers an excellent, ready to run, B&B property or would be suitable for use as a gîte.  Currently the double room rate starts at 85€ per night.  It benefits from double glazed windows with wood frames, new kitchen and bathrooms and re-decoration.  The enclosed courtyard and garden offer lovely outside space with different seating areas, etc. The old stone house is suitable for renovation, subject to planning.  It is ideal for someone wishing to start a business in Normandy immediately after arriving.  Viewing is highly recommended.

This property is situated in the south of the department of Manche in Normandy, 11 km from the UNESCO heritage site of the Baie of Mont Saint Michel. It is surrounded by Normandy countryside yet only a short distance from main road networks and local amenities.  Perfect for visiting Mont Saint-Michel, historic towns and coastal areas.  The nearest main arterial road to St James is the A84, which spans between Caen and Rennes.  The ferry ports of Cherbourg, Caen and St Malo are the most convenient for travel to St James, Dieppe offers a good alternative, although Calais being larger may provide cheaper fares.  Driving from Calais to St James is 354km and takes about 4 hours.  Caen to St James is 120km and takes a little over 1 hour.  St Malo to St James is about 60km and will take just under 1 hour.
