Le Hurel, St Martin's GY4 6DE
Completed in 2022, Le Menage is a community living development for the over-55s and situated close to St Martins village.
No 14, is situated on the first floor, overlooking the well-manicured communal gardens. The accommodation comprises two generous bedrooms, open plan living space and kitchen, a bathroom and a good size utility cupboard. With the added benefit of a private balcony, allocated parking space, visitor parking and use of the communal grounds, this property really is an ideal package for someone looking to downsize.
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.
