Location
Nestled in the lanes surrounding the Vauxbelets Valley, Les Blicqs enjoys an idyllic location in one of Guernsey's most rural parishes. Surrounded by scenic walks, the property remains close to nearby amenities such as the popular 'Forest Stores' independent food retailer and the 'Mint' Brasserie, while the South coast cliffs are also in close proximity. A regular bus route is available from 'Le Chene'. The property is on the school catchment border for La Houguette Primary, Forest Primary and Les Beaucamps High; One of the Island's private colleges 'Blanchelande College' is in the immediate vicinity.
'Les Blicqs' is a residential property categorised as Part A on Guernsey's Open Market Housing Register and available for occupation by those holding a British or European Economic Area passport.
Description
A lovely farmhouse property of mixed age which has been lovingly maintained and includes ancillary accommodation for extended families or those seeking live-in help. Standing in a small sheltered valley with rural outlooks on all sides, Les Blicqs is one of a few similar properties in an area which is largely untouched by modern development.
While having some original features dating back some three hundred years or so, such as a wonderful Inglenook fireplace, the main frontage is more Georgian in style with attractive windows, good ceiling heights and enhanced natural light levels.
A delightful kitchen opens on to an inner courtyard with a conservatory at one end that links to a converted barn, which is currently used as a family/games area with a mezzanine floor. A further detached stone farm building has been converted to provide a two room ground floor office, with a one bedroom apartment over.
There are attractive formal and cottage gardens surrounding the main house that include, lawns, gravelled and paved areas, a pergola, flower and shrub beds, and an ornamental koi pond. The outlying grounds are parkland in style and laid to grass interspersed with mature trees; leading on to a large outlying field. Other building include garaging, garden stores and a laundry room.
Les Blicqs represents a rare example of a traditional Guernsey farmhouse with obvious appeal to those looking for a characterful home in beautiful countryside.
