Brock Road, St Peter Port GY1 1RB
Rouge Huis Lodge is a substantial Part D property which, having previously been a Part A Open Market house, has the potential to revert to Part A status, subject to the relevant application. The property is currently configured as a share/staff house and has been arranged accordingly, with two cookers, sinks, washing machines and tumble dryers, together with extensive fridge and freezer space.
Most of the bedrooms also benefit from their own wash hand basins. Despite its current configuration, the property could readily be converted back into a spacious Open Market family home without the need for structural alterations. The well-proportioned accommodation is arranged over two floors and currently comprises six spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and utility area, together with two reception rooms offering versatile living space.
Ideally positioned within close proximity of two of the island’s principal colleges, as well as the wide range of amenities available in Town, Rouge Huis Lodge is particularly well suited to a variety of uses.
Externally, the property benefits from a private walled courtyard and a detached garage providing parking for up to four vehicles — a particularly rare advantage in St Peter Port. Subject to the necessary planning permissions, the garage may also offer potential for conversion to additional accommodation or a private home office.
The picturesque harbour town combines pedestrian shopping and alfresco bars and restaurants. There are fine hotels, St James Concert Hall, Candie Gardens and two exceptional colleges in sight of each other, while Victor Hugo’s Hauteville House is in the older French quarter.
Its thriving square-mile in the business sector includes leading names in finance, insurance and law and Admiral Park is a modern, dockland-style redevelopment of apartments, offices and one of two Waitrose mega-stores in the parish.
St Peter Port still has open green spaces inland and a small park with a popular leisure centre. Old and new houses sit comfortably together but it is the larger Georgian townhouses, spectacular new-builds on high ground, brewery conversions and the Fort George private estate that catch the eye.
