La Ville Baudu, Vale GY3 5AA
This immaculately presented family home is situated just minutes away from North Coast beaches and L’Ancresse common.
The well-proportioned accommodation comprises up to four bedrooms, lounge, open plan kitchen/dining area and bathroom. To the front of the property there is parking for two cars and to the side is a west facing lawned garden with the added benefit of a detached workshop.
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.
