Jamblin Road, Vale GY3 5EU
A detached light and airy family home with scenic gardens in a rural setting.
Of modern cavity block construction and topped with a slate roof, Mowbray offers a serene and private retreat close to L’Ancresse Common. Nestled within delightful gardens, the property provides excellent accommodation with rooms which capture the sun throughout the day. A convenient dual entrance with ample parking and double garage ensure practicality and an adjoining field adds to the rural setting.
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.
