Rue des Pres, St Pierre du Bois GY7 9AH
This charming traditional country house is nestled in a beautiful south-facing valley in the heart of rural St Peter’s parish.
A cherished family home since 1972, it boasts extensive accommodation across three floors, along with large vine house, a fruit house, and a detached two-storey barn. Set within 3 vergee 28 perch (1.5 acres) of mature gardens, the property features fruit and specimen trees, vibrant flower borders, and terraced lawns that gently slope down to a meandering stream. Beyond the gardens lies an additional 5 vergee (2 acres) of agricultural land, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly idyllic country lifestyle.
Step back a pace into rural St Peter’s, where the family next door will have owned the same house for generations. Tradition and the beauty of these houses go some way to explain why, and strict planning measures allow limited opportunity for new residents wanting to share this sylvan idyll.
St Peter’s has two coastlines – dramatic high cliffs to the South, with an exceptional stretch of the cliff-path network, and sandy beaches to the West that, with Torteval, host the annual Rocquaine Regatta (Henley, it’s not!). At the far end of L’Eree beach is the tidal island of Lihou and the adjacent nature reserve that form Guernsey’s first RAMSAR site. Also hereabouts are the showground fields for the annual two-day West Show, an agricultural and side-show extravaganza.
