Ruette du Navet, St Martin's GY4 6JY
This well–presented property nestles away in a fantastic setting above Saints Bay, on well-maintained mature gardens.
The accommodation provides three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a useful study/playroom which is currently utilised as a fourth bedroom whilst the lounge, dining room, and conservatory all enjoy views over the garden and valley. There is ample parking together with a large garage. Viewing is highly recommended by Cooper Brouard.
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.
