Rue du Marais, Vale GY3 5AH
Situated within a development exclusively for over 55’s, this spacious ground floor apartment offers a super opportunity for comfortable and convenient living and was converted from a former hotel in 2011 to just 22 unique apartments.
The apartment features two well-proportioned bedrooms with fitted storage, a lounge diner, separate fitted kitchen, four-piece bathroom and a low maintenance fore-garden which is for the exclusive use of Apartment 2. Further benefits include two allocated parking spaces and a long lease is in place running until December
2209.
Set within well-maintained grounds, this welcoming community offers an ideal setting for those looking to downsize whilst being close to the neighbouring beautiful rural walks, bays popular for swimming and the Royal Guernsey Golf Club.
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.
