Rue de la Greve, Vale GY3 5AE
Originally dating back to the 1800’s, this impressive family home beautifully blends charm and character with contemporary touches throughout. Le Hurel House has been thoughtfully modernised and extended by the current owners and occupies a peaceful setting with rural outlook.
The versatile accommodation is well suited to family life and entertaining with the heart of the home boasting a bespoke well appointed kitchen diner. There is a separate study/snug, dining room, living room and utility.
The first floor comprises a generous primary suite with access to a sizeable decking area, further en-suite bedroom and a separate study/hobby room which could serve as a fifth bedroom. The second floor benefits from two further en-suite bedrooms.
Externally, the property continues to impress with manicured gardens and patio areas plus a modern summer house with dedicated BBQ area. There is ample parking plus a double garage which can be further utilised as a cinema room. A further granite barn within the grounds provides additional storage space and, subject to necessary permissions, could potentially be converted into modest accommodation.
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.
