Rue des Rocques, Torteval GY8 0LZ
Upgraded throughout by the current owner, La Marotte is presented to the market in move in condition and is situated on a quiet lane in Torteval.
Spacious accommodation spans two floors and comprises four bedrooms serviced by three bath / shower rooms, a study, lounge, conservatory and fully equipped kitchen diner. A handy utility room and garage complete the main house. Externally, a large parking area to the front of the property provides ample parking, and a well-established rear garden laid predominantly to lawn further boasts a patio area accessed from the kitchen and conservatory which is well placed for outside entertainment.
Torteval is in two parts, although only 100 feet apart at Rue de L’Aitte. It includes Pleinmont Point, a favourite walk beginning at the quaint harbour of Portelet. The higher ground is Guernsey’s equivalent to Land’s End and the start, or end, of the spectacular south-coast network of cliff paths.
The sandy stretch of Rocquaine Bay and its regatta shared with St Peter’s are mentioned above, but Torteval’s great attraction is the Scarecrow Festival, annually drawing in 8,000 people over two days, strolling through the patchwork of scenic lanes near the parish church.
There is space aplenty throughout the parish, due to the relatively low ratio of houses, and demand is high. Some buyers say it’s too far out, which, for others, is what makes Torteval special.
