Les Grands Moulins, Castel GY5 7JZ
A detached Victorian country villa covering 4 floors and enjoying lovely views over the neighbouring fields, Le Grand Mare Golf Club (currently being relandscaped) towards the long sandy beach at Vazon bay.
Occupying just under an acre the property offers spacious living accommodation with excellent reception rooms, a large bright kitchen/breakfast room and four good double bedrooms.
Proposed plans have been drawn up to alter and extend the property creating a fifth ground floor bedroom, games room and dividing rooms to create further receptions.
The large lawned gardens lie to the east and west incorporating a swimming pool and previously a tennis court that was situated on the lower level could be re-instated.
Permission was also granted to build a 2 bedroom 1500 sq ft (140m2) local market home on the garden to the right of the property.
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.
