Rue des Clotures, St Martin's
An agricultural field measuring 5 vergee and 12.49 perch, with a small furzebrake area to the south eastern end.
Situated on an elevated site above Saint’s Bay with direct access from the lane and bounded by earth banks. Currently leased on an agricultural tenancy on an annual rolling agreement with the tenant wishing to remain in situ if so desired by the new owner.
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.
