Les Houards, Forest GY8 0BG
Dating back to the 1700s, this detached traditional farmhouse sits in a peaceful valley at the top of Petit Bot bay.
The three-bedroom property offers scope for modernisation, renovation and extension, subject to permissions.
Externally, amenities include ample parking, garaging, stabling and further outbuildings. To the rear, an agricultural field of approx. 3.2 acres (7 vergees, 36 perch) plus a further parcel of approx. 0.84 acres (2 vergees, 3 perch).
An exciting opportunity to acquire a traditional Guernsey farmhouse with plenty of potential.
Formerly known as Trinity, Forest takes its name from its once densely-wooded habitat. The parish is the highest in the island and includes dramatic parts of Guernsey’s south-coast network of cliff paths, best accessed from Le Gouffre. There is a honeycomb of hedge-lined lanes and an enchanting valley down to Petit Bôt Bay, with the charming hamlet of Le Variouf above.
The German Occupation Museum near the parish church is as much for locals as it is visitors, and the family-owned Forest Stores is delightfully retrospective, yet a must for the island’s best family kitchens. The community spirited and award-winning Forest Floral Group is tireless in enhancing the parish they see as a gateway to the island, in the form of Guernsey’s modern airport.
