SITUATION 
 Le Grand Fort Cottage is situated in the North part of Sark in a small ‘clos’ of houses, well off the beaten track. It is on a no-through road and close to L’Eperquerie and beautiful cliff walks. The Cottage is a short cycle ride or walk from the centre and all the amenities it has to offer. 

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 forty-five 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 and telecommunications 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 COTTAGE  
The Cottage is set in a very secluded area surrounded by 
mature trees. It has an outside area with space for bikes 
and garden furniture, and relaxation. It is a beautiful 
original Sark Cottage made from granite and dates back to
1565. The Cottage has recently been modernised and is in
a lovely condition throughout with bright and attractive 
fixtures and fittings. It is fully furnished throughout. The cottage has new timber double glazed windows, new doors, and a thatched roof. This is a rare opportunity to live in a traditional and beautiful home with modern standards.
