Douit Lane, Vale GY6 8AA
Built in 2008, Le Menage is a beautifully presented detached home offering well sized family accommodation, including a large kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceiling together with a spacious lounge.
Two of the bedrooms have ensuite facilities and there is a further shower room all located on the ground floor, the first floor offers excellent under eaves storage. There is a large integral garage, ample parking and attractive gardens which offer good privacy.
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.
