La Folie Lane, Vale GY3 5SE
A semi-detached cottage originally dating back from the 1920’s, which has been extended in more recent years, to create a good size family home.
Positioned in a quiet lane in Vale, Folie Cottage offers well proportioned accommodation comprising a kitchen breakfast room, utility, lounge and dining area on the ground floor with four bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first. Externally there is ample parking for numerous vehicles and a vast mature garden.
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.
