Rue Cohu, Castel GY5 7SY
This spacious and light first floor apartment is part of the highly regarded Les Blancs Bois residential unit for over 55’s.
There are 238 years remaining on the leasehold (expiring in 2260) and therefore the purchaser has the benefit of reduced fees as these properties are exempt from paying stamp duty. Owners of the apartment have access to the beautifully maintained gardens, a spacious single garage and there is also ample visitors parking. Benefits of Les Blancs Bois include regular buses to and from St Peter Port and nearby supermarkets and a 24-hour on-site manager making this an ideal retirement home.
Guernsey’s largest parish geographically and family-friendly at heart, with safe sandy beaches and leafy Saumarez Park, home to summer festivals, the National Trust of Guernsey’s Folk Museum and children’s adventure playground.
The near-legendary fish and chips on the sea wall watching stunning sunsets is as good as it sounds, shared by more formal west-coast dining, if preferred.
There are wide tracks of green-belt land, especially at Talbot Valley and nearby Fauxquets Valley, and an eclectic mix of housing styles and densities. This includes clusters of fine old farmhouses, notably in the hamlet of Kings Mills, although modern architecture is increasingly popular, especially when replacing 20th century buildings. The proposed redevelopment of La Grande Mare Golf Club to international status is affirmation of Castel’s inherent appeal.
