La Route de Sausmarez, St Martin's GY4 6SG
A lovely period home offering three good double bedrooms on the first floor with a further two located on the second, an excellent sized sitting room with doors to the rear patio and garden and a charming dining room with feature fireplace.
The large rear garden is mainly lawned with attractive borders, kitchen garden and lean-to greenhouse. A great family home located in a much sought-after residential area between St Martin’s Village and St Peter Port town centre.
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.
