SITUATION La Grande Piece occupies one of the most tranquil and picturesque settings on the Channel Island of Sark. An easy walk from the ‘village’, schools and churches past ‘Mon Plaisir’ and along the road leading towards the west of the island and the Hotel Petit Champs brings you to this property situated along a quiet grass track away from any main roads.

MAP REFERENCE (when printed) D6
 
Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports. Flight time to Gatwick is about thirty minutes by jet.

SARK  Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars or tarmac roads and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities for residents and visitors alike. The only independent feudal state remaining in Europe, Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement. Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants, and public houses.

TAXATION Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or value-added tax on its residents. Other local taxes are very moderate.

THE HOUSE Built in the 1960’s La Grande Piece is a detached house of granite and timber construction. To take full advantage of the delightful gardens and views the property is south and west facing with picture and bay windows allowing the colourful garden to be appreciated from inside the property as well as outside. The property has been extended over the years to include a Master Bedroom or First Floor Sitting Room with Balcony to enhance the views towards Guernsey and the other islands.
The property has no residential restrictions.
