Les Landes, Vale GY3 5JQ
This super semi detached Guernsey cottage has been lovingly renovated by the current owners and provides surprisingly spacious accommodation throughout.
The ground floor comprises a large lounge/ diner, well equipped kitchen and four piece family bathroom. The first floor offers two good size bedrooms plus a useful study. Externally, the property boasts ample parking and a lawned garden complete with vegetable patch, garden shed and patio area well positioned to enjoy alfresco dining. Within close proximity to the Bridge and L’Islet amenities and with coastal walks nearby, this property truly warrants viewing to appreciate all on offer.
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.
