Rue du Hurel, St Martin's GY4 6DA
Set within 0.5 acres of mature gardens, this characterful detached home was built in the early 20th century with Arts & Crafts influences.
The accommodation comprises a lounge, dining room, kitchen with adjoining utility, convenient WC and a study which could service as a fifth bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, Waysmeet offers four further bedrooms served by a family bathroom plus a further Jack & Jill bathroom.
Approached via a private driveway, which opens out to ample parking and a triple garage (which boasts electricity, water, a kitchen and toilet plus large space upstairs), the property is surrounded by mature gardens which boast complete privacy and is a short walk from the amenities of St Martin’s village, popular local hostelries and stunning cliff walks.
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.
