Hougue du Moulin, Vale GY3 5NG
Tucked away on a quiet lane opposite Vale Mill, this substantial home enjoys an elevated position with panoramic east coast views across to the neighbouring Islands. Originally constructed in the 50’s and extended during the 70’s, this property offers flexible accommodation.
The main house comprises two bedrooms with separate study serviced by two bath/shower rooms together with a kitchen, utility, separate WC, dining room and lounge with glazed doors leading onto a sizeable balcony where the panoramic views can be most appreciated.
Connected to the main home is a further two-bedroom wing with kitchen, lounge, bathroom and sunroom where once again the views can be enjoyed – well suited to a dependant family member.
Externally Saqqara benefits from parking, a double garage, mature gardens, and heated swimming pool.
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.
