Rue de la Hougue, Castel GY5 7EA
Tucked away on a private driveway in Castel, Le Colombier is a detached 3 bedroom bungalow sitting on a generous plot of around half an acre.
The property has been well maintained throughout and provides an ideal opportunity for someone wanting to modernise to their taste with great potential to extend (subject to the relevant permissions) to truly reach its full potential. The accommodation comprises a conservatory, spacious entrance hall (large enough to accommodate a staircase for a loft conversion), lounge, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, two shower rooms and three bedrooms, attached are two garages and a workshop.
Set within mature gardens and with ample parking, viewing is highly recommended by Cooper Brouard.
Guernsey’s largest parish geographically and family-friendly at heart, with safe sandy beaches and leafy Saumarez Park, home to summer festivals, the National Trust of Guernsey’s Folk Museum and children’s adventure playground.
The near-legendary fish and chips on the sea wall watching stunning sunsets is as good as it sounds, shared by more formal west-coast dining, if preferred.
There are wide tracks of green-belt land, especially at Talbot Valley and nearby Fauxquets Valley, and an eclectic mix of housing styles and densities. This includes clusters of fine old farmhouses, notably in the hamlet of Kings Mills, although modern architecture is increasingly popular, especially when replacing 20th century buildings. The proposed redevelopment of La Grande Mare Golf Club to international status is affirmation of Castel’s inherent appeal.
