Rue du Court Laurent, Torteval GY8 0LQ
This charming, detached farmhouse is believed to date back to the 16th century and displays charm and character throughout.
The property offers well-proportioned reception rooms, along with four bedrooms. Externally, there is a south-facing lawned rear garden, a separate detached barn, and parking. Tucked away with a beautiful and tranquil hamlet of properties near, a character filled home in a wonderful location.
Torteval is in two parts, although only 100 feet apart at Rue de L’Aitte. It includes Pleinmont Point, a favourite walk beginning at the quaint harbour of Portelet. The higher ground is Guernsey’s equivalent to Land’s End and the start, or end, of the spectacular south-coast network of cliff paths.
The sandy stretch of Rocquaine Bay and its regatta shared with St Peter’s are mentioned above, but Torteval’s great attraction is the Scarecrow Festival, annually drawing in 8,000 people over two days, strolling through the patchwork of scenic lanes near the parish church.
There is space aplenty throughout the parish, due to the relatively low ratio of houses, and demand is high. Some buyers say it’s too far out, which, for others, is what makes Torteval special.
