Rue de la Porte, Kings Mills, Castel GY5 7JR
Sitting on just under an acre this charming cottage with the addition of several outbuildings and pockets of land to include an orchard area, flowering areas and various seating areas to enjoy the tranquil settings, is a property that is located in the popular Castel parish.
Having been in ownership for over forty years the gardens are well established but with clever landscaping could provide agricultural and distance west coast views. A detached barn provides additional space that could with planning permission be linked to the cottage if so desired or utilised as a studio or useful storage. There is ample parking and a large well maintained greenhouse central to the plot and surrounded by the garden areas, to complete what Sainte Anne has to offer.
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.
