Icart Road, St Martin's GY4 6JF
Charming detached cottage situated in the highly sought after tranquil lanes close to the south coast cliff paths at Icart.
The property offers well proportioned accommodation with large living areas and 2 double bedrooms on the ground floor and on the first floor a spacious bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. Externally there is parking for two cars and mature lawned gardens with cobbled and paved patios.
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.
