Holly Lodge, La Maison au Compte, Vale GY3 5RZ
This spacious and well-presented family home offers generous accommodation arranged over three floors ideal for family living.
On the ground floor, there is a dual-aspect lounge providing an inviting space for relaxation and entertaining, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home — perfect for family gatherings and social occasions. A bright sunroom enjoys aspect over the south facing garden and swimming pool. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room, w.c, and an integral garage.
Across the first and second floors, there are five generous bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a contemporary en-suite. The additional bedrooms are all well-sized and versatile, ideal for family members, guests, or home office use. A stylish family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.
The ancient names of Le Clos du Valle and Vale Vingtaine de l’Epine remain on record but they are administered as one and jointly called Vale.
The parish offers wide sandy beaches and surfing at Portinfer, two fishing harbours at Grande Harve, a marina at Beaucette and horseshoe harbour at Bordeaux. There is a Royal 18-hole links course within extensive common land that also has a competition-standard rifle range.
Vale and its former abbey found favour with William the Conqueror and his father before him, whose storm-torn ship found safety at L’Ancresse (the anchorage). Wealth and industry have long since been Vale’s bywords, displayed in numerous 17th- and 18th-century farmhouses, pretty cottages and vast Victorian villas in an inland maze of lanes.
