Hautes Mielles, L'Ancresse, Vale GY3 5BB
Mandeville is a striking example of 1970s architecture, designed with a forward-thinking layout that remains highly functional and desirable today.
The semi-open plan design connects the kitchen and dining areas to a spacious living room, which leads into a conservatory overlooking a former quarry – now a stunning natural pond that serves as a haven for local wildlife. A short flight of just five steps leads to the ‘first floor’ – four generous bedrooms and two bath/ shower rooms. A study and ample storage complete the offering. While Mandeville’s exterior reflects its era, the location is a true highlight – within walking distance of Beaucette Marina, the Royal Guernsey Golf Club, and one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, L’Ancresse Bay. Externally, the home sits within approximately an acre of land, featuring a garage, greenhouse plus a summer house – perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Viewing is highly recommended by Cooper Brouard.
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.
