THE sale of a seafront property has raised almost £700,000 for the National Trust of Guernsey.

The former Rowan Tree cafe, at 31-32 Glategny Esplanade, has stood empty since November 2009.

Both premises, including the flat above, were owned by the Trust.

President Martin Ozanne said they had struggled to find tenants.

Then the Trust was approached by Shields estate agency.

    won’t be long before another bit of old Guernsey goes under the bulldozer-

    then a block of flats at sky high prices with a view of course.

    If there is no history attached to this building why did the National Trust come to be in possession of it?
