Les Courtes Fallaizes, St Martin's GY4 6DH
This charming semi-detached Guernsey Cottage is tucked away in a superb location in the quiet lanes close to east and south coast cliff walks.
Full of character and charm, with timber floor-boards and an impressive granite inglenook fireplace, Le Pavot has the added benefit of parking for two small cars and a private and spacious rear garden.
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.
