11 Acacia Clos, Rue Mainguy, Vale GY6 8NN
Fortuna is a three-bedroom family home situated on a quiet clos within a few minutes of the islands West coast.
In excellent order throughout, the accommodation comprises entrance hall, kitchen, sitting/dining room, double bedroom on the ground floor. The first floor consists of family bathroom and two double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room. Externally, the property offers a single garage and parking for two cars to the front while the rear enjoys an easily maintained, enclosed paved south facing garden. Internal viewing highly recommended.
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.
