La Grande Rue, St Martin's GY4 6RR
A substantial detached listed family home dating back to the 1800’s, offering superb space, character and plenty of potential all within the heart of St Martin’s village.
‘The Rectory’ is a substantial six bedroom period home, with accommodation arranged over three floors and character throughout. The property offers ample reception and entertaining space, complemented by high ceilings and plenty of light.
Externally, the property enjoys a south-west facing garden, together with a useful storage barn, greenhouse and two garages. The roof has recently been renewed and the property now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and renovate subject to necessary permissions.
Jerbourg Point marks St Martin’s and Guernsey’s south-east corner with panoramic views across to neighbouring islands. Fermain Bay was a favourite of Victor Hugo’s, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir captured Moulin Huet in fifteen of his paintings.
Cliff paths and green lanes provide excellent walks and Sausmarez Manor is a resplendent Queen Anne house, with regular events in its grounds. There are good family amenities, excellent hotels, restaurants and pubs, plus a M&S food hall for home dining. This is a sought-after location with a vibrant parish centre and housing market to match.
At the gateway to St Martin’s parish church stands La Gran’mère du Chimquière (the grandmother of the churchyard), where present-day brides often adorn the pagan statue-menhir (c.2500BC) with a floral headdress.
