Becquet Road, St Peter Port GY1 2TQ
The South coast cliff tops have long been acknowledged as the best vantage point to appreciate our natural surroundings and some of the most dramatic views in the Channel Islands.
This idyllic setting is perfect for taking in all the activity of the Southern approaches to the “Little Russell” and out across to the neighbouring Islands.
Whilst the existing accommodation is in its original layout and consequently a little dated, the site is highly worthy of a major renovation or large scale extension and approved plans are available on request.
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.
