Ruette des Jehans, Torteval GY8 0RJ
The property is a well-presented bungalow set on a large plot in a quiet rural lane, overlooking fields to the rear.
It features a fabulous greenhouse with ample space for entertaining throughout the year. The beautifully kept south and west facing gardens, generous parking, shed, and large workshop further enhance this charming home.
Torteval is in two parts, although only 100 feet apart at Rue de L’Aitte. It includes Pleinmont Point, a favourite walk beginning at the quaint harbour of Portelet. The higher ground is Guernsey’s equivalent to Land’s End and the start, or end, of the spectacular south-coast network of cliff paths.
The sandy stretch of Rocquaine Bay and its regatta shared with St Peter’s are mentioned above, but Torteval’s great attraction is the Scarecrow Festival, annually drawing in 8,000 people over two days, strolling through the patchwork of scenic lanes near the parish church.
There is space aplenty throughout the parish, due to the relatively low ratio of houses, and demand is high. Some buyers say it’s too far out, which, for others, is what makes Torteval special.
