23, Le Courtil de Fontaine, Tertre Lane, Vale GY3 5UA
Beautifully presented semi-detached home, perfectly positioned on a well-regarded and neatly maintained clos.
This property has been thoughtfully extended to the rear, creating a stunning open-plan lounge and dining space.
The accommodation is well laid out and finished to a high standard throughout. The master bedroom enjoys its own stylish en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, while the second bedroom is bright and airy. Completing the upstairs is a modern family bathroom.
Outside, the west-facing rear garden is fully enclosed, offering a private and low-maintenance space that is currently laid to patio. For convenience, there is gated access at the rear leading directly to two private parking spaces arranged in tandem.
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.
