La Hougue, Vale GY3 5JA
This detached cavity-built family home is situate in the peaceful lanes of the Vale, close to L’Ancresse and local amenities.
With a bright and spacious lounge and dining room with a separate kitchen overlooking the rear garden on the ground floor, on the first floor are two double bedrooms, a further single bedroom and 4 piece family bathroom. Externally is a utility room also with a W.C and single garage. The rear garden is laid to lawn enclosed by low level hedging and a further lawned fore garden, ample parking is provided on the front driveway.
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.
