Rue D'Aval, Vale GY6 8LB
This charming two-bedroom semi-detached barn conversion is ideally situated close to local amenities and the beautiful beaches of the north coast.
The property has been tastefully modernised and finished to a high standard, whilst retaining many of its original character features, including exposed beams and attractive granite stone walls.
The ground floor consists of a beautiful open-plan kitchen/diner with a cosy snug area, leading through to a spacious living room with doors opening out onto the courtyard. There is also a separate utility room and shower room. Upstairs, the property offers two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom.
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.
