Route de Bordeaux, Vale GY3 5LZ
A part furnished character filled semi-detached three storey cottage with panoramic views of Bordeaux harbour and offshore islands beyond.
The property has well-proportioned accommodation, three double bedrooms, separate shower and bathroom. With a south facing patio and front lawned gardens ‘The Moorings’ is a charming home for families or professional couples.
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.
