Rue de la Couture, Torteval GY8 0LA
An exceptional detached bungalow with a separate one bed annexe, nestled within nearly 2 acres of land in the desirable parish of Torteval.
This substantial home offers a fine combination of space and versatility – perfect for a multi generational family. The main residence offers up to five bedrooms serviced by 3 bath/shower rooms and an expanse of kitchen and reception space which is further complemented by a large room housing an indoor swim spa – ideal for those who love to entertain all year round. Externally, L’Abri boasts well maintained grounds, ample parking and two garages joined to a modern well-equipped one bed annexe. A pair of stables with separate hay barn is also positioned on site providing space for equestrians or those looking to establish a small holding.
Torteval is in two parts, although only 100 feet apart at Rue de L’Aitte. It includes Pleinmont Point, a favourite walk beginning at the quaint harbour of Portelet. The higher ground is Guernsey’s equivalent to Land’s End and the start, or end, of the spectacular south-coast network of cliff paths.
The sandy stretch of Rocquaine Bay and its regatta shared with St Peter’s are mentioned above, but Torteval’s great attraction is the Scarecrow Festival, annually drawing in 8,000 people over two days, strolling through the patchwork of scenic lanes near the parish church.
There is space aplenty throughout the parish, due to the relatively low ratio of houses, and demand is high. Some buyers say it’s too far out, which, for others, is what makes Torteval special.
