Rue de L'Eglise, St Pierre du Bois GY7 9SB
A charming and characterful split level detached granite cottage located below the Parish church and enjoying a lovely rural outlook yet with the benefit of shops, garage, school and post office all close by.
There are 4 bedrooms together with two bathrooms on the first floor and a spacious sitting room with beamed ceiling and kitchen/diner on the ground floors. The gardens are mainly lawned and include a greenhouse and there is parking
for several cars.
Step back a pace into rural St Peter’s, where the family next door will have owned the same house for generations. Tradition and the beauty of these houses go some way to explain why, and strict planning measures allow limited opportunity for new residents wanting to share this sylvan idyll.
St Peter’s has two coastlines – dramatic high cliffs to the South, with an exceptional stretch of the cliff-path network, and sandy beaches to the West that, with Torteval, host the annual Rocquaine Regatta (Henley, it’s not!). At the far end of L’Eree beach is the tidal island of Lihou and the adjacent nature reserve that form Guernsey’s first RAMSAR site. Also hereabouts are the showground fields for the annual two-day West Show, an agricultural and side-show extravaganza.
