Rue de Bordeaux, Vale GY3 5NU
This charming 1930s detached home has been cherished by the same family since 1991. ‘Le Mouillage’ offers generous accommodation, mature gardens and exciting potential, a short walk from Bordeaux Harbour.
The versatile ground floor comprises a lounge, snug, sun room, kitchen, utility room, shower room and two bedrooms. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The rear garden is well stocked with mature planting, with a patio, a swimming pool (not in use) and a sizeable workshop.
Early viewing is recommended by Cooper Brouard.
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.
