Rue des Sages, Torteval GY8 0LB
This traditional detached home is situated in the desirable rural parish of Torteval and although in need of renovation throughout, could become a super family home.
Positioned on a quiet lane and on a good size plot, the accommodation comprises four bedrooms, a study, bathroom with separate WC, kitchen and four reception rooms. Externally there is parking for ample vehicles and a mature garden area hosting mature trees and shrubs with a small greenhouse and allotment area. A great project for those looking to create a fantastic family home.
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.
