Landes du Marche, Vale GY6 8DE
La Grange is a semi-detached granite barn conversion filled with character and set in a convenient central location.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious lounge and a kitchen/diner, with two bedrooms upstairs serviced by a bathroom and an en-suite shower room. All windows and exterior doors of the property have been replaced in recent months and a new en-suite shower room recently fitted.
La Grange provides a great opportunity for first-time buyers looking to get onto the ladder, and investors alike. The property further benefits from parking for two cars and a paved outdoor space.
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.
