Rue des Effards, Castel
Le Vieux Jardin is a charming barn conversion situated in a central yet tranquil and rural location in the heart of Castel.
The spacious and bright accommodation includes 3 impressive reception rooms and 4 double bedrooms, 2 with en suite bathrooms. Externally, there is ample parking, a lawned private garden which overlooks a neighbouring field and feature rockery to an area of decking outside the family room.
Guernsey’s largest parish geographically and family-friendly at heart, with safe sandy beaches and leafy Saumarez Park, home to summer festivals, the National Trust of Guernsey’s Folk Museum and children’s adventure playground.
The near-legendary fish and chips on the sea wall watching stunning sunsets is as good as it sounds, shared by more formal west-coast dining, if preferred.
There are wide tracks of green-belt land, especially at Talbot Valley and nearby Fauxquets Valley, and an eclectic mix of housing styles and densities. This includes clusters of fine old farmhouses, notably in the hamlet of Kings Mills, although modern architecture is increasingly popular, especially when replacing 20th century buildings. The proposed redevelopment of La Grande Mare Golf Club to international status is affirmation of Castel’s inherent appeal.
