Calais, St Martin's GY4 6AS
Unique prospect to purchase an elevated site on the south-west coast, with sea views overlooking Fermain Valley and the offshore islands.
The plot currently offers a one bedroom timber framed bungalow. No planning permissions have yet been sought for the site, allowing the new owner the opportunity to design a bespoke home in an exceptional location.
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.
