Rue Colin, Vale GY6 8LA
Lovely, detached home on an excellent one-acre site with extensive gardens, ample parking and useful outbuilding.
The property is situated in a quiet lane within walking distance of west coast beaches at Port Grat, Le Picquerel and close to L’Islet Village. The original 1950’s property has been extended and upgraded and now offers a good range of accommodation including a large kitchen overlooking the gardens.
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.
