Rue De La Corbiere, Forest GY8 0JG
This cherished cottage has been in the same ownership for the last 45 years and has been well maintained throughout.
Originally dating back to the late 1800’s, ‘The Cottage’ offers well proportioned accommodation comprising a lounge, sun room, kitchen and dining room on the ground floor with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. While beautifully kept, the property presents an opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise to their own taste.
The gardens are a real highlight and are terraced to the rear and side of the property with a patio area directly off the sun room best placed to enjoy the south facing aspect.
Situated on a quiet lane close to coastal walks and the breath taking seascape views that the south coast has to offer, viewing is recommended to appreciate all on offer.
Formerly known as Trinity, Forest takes its name from its once densely-wooded habitat. The parish is the highest in the island and includes dramatic parts of Guernsey’s south-coast network of cliff paths, best accessed from Le Gouffre. There is a honeycomb of hedge-lined lanes and an enchanting valley down to Petit Bôt Bay, with the charming hamlet of Le Variouf above.
The German Occupation Museum near the parish church is as much for locals as it is visitors, and the family-owned Forest Stores is delightfully retrospective, yet a must for the island’s best family kitchens. The community spirited and award-winning Forest Floral Group is tireless in enhancing the parish they see as a gateway to the island, in the form of Guernsey’s modern airport.
