Rue de Houmet, Vale GY6 8JH
This smart semi detached bungalow, built in 1972, is located within a short distance of the amenities of L’Islet Village, bus routes, restaurants and the desirable beaches and coastal paths that the area has to offer.
The accommodation comprises two bedrooms served by a family bathroom, lounge/diner with multi fuel stove, kitchen and separate utility room.
Externally there is parking for 2-3 vehicles on the front drive and to the rear, and enclosed west facing courtyard garden complete with large shed.
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.
