La Greve, Vale GY3 5AR
Set along a quiet residents-only lane and enjoying open views to L’Ancresse Common, this spacious late-1960s chalet bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in a highly desirable setting.
Although in need of modernisation and renovation in areas, the main house provides well-proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. A large lounge is complemented by a kitchen/diner, alongside a separate first floor family room. There are four bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities plus a further guest WC. Adjoining the main home is a two-bedroom wing, great for guests or a dependant relative.
Externally, the property boasts mature gardens with a raised patio complete with swimming pool, with a large garage and ample parking completing the offering.
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.
