Clifton, St Peter Port GY1 2PH
This distinctive, detached 1930’s house enjoys jaw dropping sea and island views from its commanding position overlooking the mouth of St Peter Port Harbour.
With lift access the outlook is easily appreciated from all floors, but most particularly from the living room on the third, with its panoramic sweep taking in The Town Church, the boating marinas, Herm, Sark, Jethou and Alderney. France can be viewed on a clear day! Conveniently tucked away on a quiet lane on the edge of the St Peter Port business centre, the property also offers a high degree of privacy with its gated access, plus excellent facilities including ample parking, double garage and large store. The property is dated but given its unique location it offers great potential for upgrading and redevelopment.
The picturesque harbour town combines pedestrian shopping and alfresco bars and restaurants. There are fine hotels, St James Concert Hall, Candie Gardens and two exceptional colleges in sight of each other, while Victor Hugo’s Hauteville House is in the older French quarter.
Its thriving square-mile in the business sector includes leading names in finance, insurance and law and Admiral Park is a modern, dockland-style redevelopment of apartments, offices and one of two Waitrose mega-stores in the parish.
St Peter Port still has open green spaces inland and a small park with a popular leisure centre. Old and new houses sit comfortably together but it is the larger Georgian townhouses, spectacular new-builds on high ground, brewery conversions and the Fort George private estate that catch the eye.
