Rue Du Marais, Vale GY3 5AH
Located opposite L’Ancresse Common, this well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment forms part of a highly sought-after “Over 55s” development, perfect for those wishing to enjoy the open spaces and scenic walks the north of the island has to offer.
The property benefits from its own private entrance and comprises a double bedroom, a comfortable lounge, a bathroom, and a kitchen/diner. From the lounge, doors open onto a private patio.
Externally, the apartment includes an allocated parking space for one car. The property is held on a leasehold basis with approximately 184 years remaining.
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.
