La Ruette Lane, St Martin's GY4 6QW
‘La Ruette’ is one of the best examples of a traditional local market farmhouse that we have seen in recent years.
This truly exceptional and beautifully renovated listed farmhouse is designed for comfort and style and blends timeless character with modern luxury, and is ready to enjoy from day one. Immaculately presented throughout, the home offers generous living spaces enhanced by high end finishes perfectly blended with more traditional period features.
The property boasts a number of reception rooms, a dedicated study, and a cinema room perfect for family entertainment. On the first and second floors are 4 double bedrooms with a generous primary suite including dressing room and ensuite, there is a separate lounge with balcony overlooking the garden at this level which can form part of primary suite or be utilised as a separate reception room.
Externally there is a four car garage and pool complex which also houses a games room and one bedroom annexe providing an ideal space for guests. With ample parking and west facing gardens, ‘La Ruette’ is a wonderful family home deserving closer inspection.
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.
