SITUATION:
Beaupre occupies a beautifully convenient and scenic setting on the Island of Sark. Situated away from the main roads’ of the island it is accessed from a quiet lane. There are neighbouring properties in the same area but Beaupre is not directly overlooked and enjoys privacy without being isolated. This detached property is located towards the north of the island forming part of the tenement known as La Genetiere, within walking and easy cycling distance from the shops, churches and island amenities. The property is partially secluded by a walled garden with mature trees, hedging and shrubs and offers a semi-rural outlook. The large rear garden and main aspects of the house are southeast facing.

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, tax on any other world-wide assets or inheritance tax on its residents. Other, local taxes are very moderate.

THE HOUSE:
The house is inviting and has a pleasant continental appearance with Georgian sash windows with teak shutters on white rendered walls under a red pantile roof. A complete refurbishment of the property, to a high specification, means that it is in a walk in condition.
