Braye du Valle, Hautes Capelles, St Sampson's GY2 4RB
A well-proportioned Victorian villa set within an acre of private grounds and located close to local shops, the golf course at L’Ancresse and surrounding sandy beaches.
Hawkesbury provides 3 excellent bedrooms – the principal suite occupying the entire attic floor and accessed from a well fitted first floor dressing room. Spacious reception rooms combine period features with contemporary living with the family living / dining /kitchen opening to a wide pergola covered veranda at the rear. Within the grounds are an excellent indoor pool complex and a sizeable detached local market barn with an office/studio on the first floor and wine/games room occupying part of the ground floor. A lovely family home that has previously had permissions, since lapsed, to create a 4th bedroom en suite.
Industries have thrived in St Sampson’s, but its busy harbour is loosening its blue collar as alternative forms of energy are introduced and cloud-based industries take over. Private leisure boats moor in a marina where coal and timber were once shipped ashore and planners have earmarked the island’s second town for rejuvenation.
Delancey Park is its highpoint and L’Islet shows another side of the parish with a sandy beach and shops, including M&S food hall.
A smaller, detached section of St Sampson’s lies on the northwest coast, with an easier approach to town and to parish life in general.
