Le Varclin, St Martin's GY4 6AL
This stunning Guernsey farmhouse sits in a quiet lane in St Martins a short walk from the east coast cliffs.
Renovated to an extremely high standard the current owner has maximised the accommodation of this spacious home while keeping the renovations sympathetic to the style of property. Offering up to 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms the property further benefits from detached guest accommodation, a spacious summerhouse perfect for entertaining and private gardens with outdoor kitchen. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this property has to offer.
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.
