L'Ancresse Common, Vale GY3 5JS
This exceptional detached home offers more than 3,000 square feet of accommodation, perfectly nestled amidst the natural beauty of L’Ancresse, with panoramic views over the Common and coast beyond.
The reverse plan layout with balconies to front and rear, takes full advantage of the wonderful views and maximises light into the superbly proportioned living areas. The ground floor features a large hall with staircase, 3 large Neville Johnson fitted bedrooms, all ensuite, a Neville Johnson fitted study and separate snug and a shower room which could provide a fourth bedroom suite if needed. An integral double garage, utility room, parking for 3 vehicles on a brick paved driveway and low maintenance gardens make Maison de Longree a very comfortable, easily managed large home, in a sought after location.
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.
