La Rue de la Corbiniere, St Martin's GY4 6SX
This semi detached listed Guernsey farmhouse belonged to the same family for decades.
Presented to the market for the first time, although in need of renovation throughout, Sonata could become a super family home. The accommodation currently comprises a kitchen, lounge, two bedrooms and a bathroom over two floors. Externally there is a large outbuilding, parking and garden.
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.
