Rue Godfrey, Vale GY3 5EG
An impressive period family home occupying a site of 6.2 vergee (2.5 acres) located in quiet lanes close to Bordeaux Harbour and the amenities in St Sampson’s.
La Haute Banque provides four generous double bedrooms (two with large ensuite bathrooms), excellent reception rooms that can adapted to suit your individual needs and a spacious kitchen/dining room. The property at the rear faces east and benefits from a mature lawned garden an adjoining field, ample parking and a double garage. A versatile family home in a lovely semi-rural location.
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.
