Rocque es Cas, Vale GY3 5BP
A charming detached listed farmhouse situated in the peaceful lanes between L’Ancresse Common and Beaucette Marina with plans approved.
The main house itself comprises a kitchen, dining room, sitting room and two bedrooms plus a study serviced by a family bathroom. There is an adjoining two story wing with a large attic space running over the whole main house. A superb addition is a detached two story granite barn. Both the main house and separate barn have received permissions in 2023 to extend and alter the accommodation to create a substantial multi generational home if required. There is ample parking and a south facing walled garden.
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.
