Built only five years ago by a local developer to an exceptional high standard, this 4/5 bedroom attached granite faced property is located in the heart of rural St Peter bordering green lanes and away from any busy roads, and is one property that will tick all the boxes if you are seeking peace and quiet, safety and space for children and a home that the family can grow into. Laid out over three floors, the kitchen is fully applianced and has a centre island/ breakfast bar, there is a separate utility room and the living room/diner leads onto the sun terrace overlooking the well-established west facing garden. The current owners are presenting their home in pristine condition and with a garage, ample parking plus visitors parking, this property should be viewed internally and is one that Indigo Estates most certainly highly recommend.

With a true passion for history,this fine property was professionally converted from an original barn approximately nine years ago and offers spacious living for a family or a professional couple looking to start a family. This home is presented in walk-in condition and has a contemporary feel whilst still retaning the charm and character of the past. Externally a Sunny South facing private decked area and communal South West facing lawned garden. Located only a short distance from town on a good bus route and close to local amenities, this property is a must to view internally, call Indigo today to book your viewing of this impressive home!

Here in Jersey where space is at a premium, it’s rare to find a property surrounded by its own land, with sweeping views yet only a few minutes away from town. It’s even more unusual to discover the property is one of the oldest buildings on the island, with a fascinating history of its own.

“It’s believed to be the original building of the area, and dates back to the 15th century” says the owner Richard Ledo. “Eventually, in the 1600s there was a farmhouse built, and the people occupying the farm lived in that rather than the cottage. We believe that this building became the brewhouse, where people from the area would gather to bring their hops and barley to brew up. I suppose it was a bit like an early forerunner of the local pub!”

“When I bought the property, the cottage was completely derelict. It was just four walls, with a tree growing out of the middle of it. I worked with architects Anthony Gibb to restore it, being sympathetic to the original design and using original materials, but also with the aim of

returning it to a home that would have a contemporary appeal”.

After a long period of renovation, the cottage is now beautifully finished, with soft interior colours echoing the warm tones of the granite features, and luxury fittings blending with original historic detailing. “The old part of the cottage still retains its historic atmosphere. We’ve restored it sympathetically, using traditional materials in order to allow the building to function. The walls in the old section are all lime plastered and distemper painted to keep the integrity of the cottage. The fireplace and chimney was rebuilt completely and features a green oak lintel in exactly the same design and size as the original would have been. That’s how we’ve approached all the oak work, it’s been designed to be as close as possible to

the way it was originally. The only difference is that we’ve used green oak, so it’s a new material, but still the same material. That’s very important to me.”

The old part of the building is home to the main living area which has a cosy feel with a log burning stove and stairs up to the galleried main bedroom in the roof A-frame with exposed oak ceiling beams joined with wooden pegs. Next to the reception room is the strikingly modern kitchen, fully equipped with up to the minute Siemens appliances. “There’s a sense of transition as you move through the building into the contemporary part. We used large limestone flags in the old section to give it an aged look, but as you move through the hall, the limestone floor becomes polished and honed,

9

It was just four walls, with a tree growing out of the middle of it

highlighting the ultra modern, clean lines of the contemporary section.” Outside the kitchen is a large and private south-facing decked area. “It’s very unusual to find such a character property with this much land, and such a private location” says agent Howard Temple-Redshaw from Maillard’s Estates. “It would make a perfect little home for anyone seeking ‘the good life’”.

A tremendous amount of care and attention to detail has gone into ensuring the cottage was properly restored. “Paying attention to the details was important for this property, so we sourced a lot of materials locally. We reinstated the large granite slabs that would have formed the original hearth, and used reclaimed pantiles from a building in town that came to us covered in moss, and gave the

roof a very authentic weathered feel! We chose zinc on the roof of the extension so it will mellow down to a lead colour, and managed to find galvanized guttering that will fade over time to a dull steel. The exterior of the cottage should blend with the Jersey landscape around it, and almost fade into the background, leaving the property’s new owners to bring their own perspective to it”.

The cottage is surrounded by around 1.5 vergees of land that would be easy to adapt to many different uses. A paddock perhaps, or extensive gardens. Richard has his own vision for the property. “I’d love to turn it into a meadow and then just let it go wild and turn into a natural habitat. It’s such an unusual location, you can’t hear any traffic yet you’re not far from town.” You certainly get a feeling that the walls

have a story to tell. And after centuries of ale-brewing gossip while the building was possibly the local brewhouse, it’s not surprising the cottage has a unique charm. Yet with its contemporary interior, the cottage functions perfectly as a modern home that still blends in beautifully with its natural surroundings.

What is my house worth?Gill Hunt President of the Jersey

Estate Agents’ Association offers some simple advice on

property valuation

Everyone has an opinion of what his or her house is worth and rightly so. But have you

ever wondered how an experienced agent will value your home?

Just because a similar property transacted at a certain price, it does not necessarily follow

that yours will too. Over the next few articles, we will discuss the process, which we go

through to ascertain the price of a property.

Firstly, we will consider the Geographical Factors. Where a property is located will

greatly influence its value. We have all heard the term that value arises from three things: location, location, location. If you have the right property in the right location, you will

have a valuable asset. A property with a sea view will always fetch a higher price than the

one overlooking a car park, obviously.

However this is not only about location it is about accessibility. The property might be very desirable but is it set at the end of a really long unmade road that no one knows who owns? A buyer might love the house but decide to simply look for another property because it

will be ‘hassle’ accessing their home each day. Easy access to schools, work or the beach will

be a bonus factor, for most.

These are just a few points that need to be taken into consideration. Of course there are many more. Next issue we will discuss some more

factors that will effect the value of your home.

For more information, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

The Jersey Estate Agents’ Association is committed to raising the standards in estate agency. For reliable information, please see

our list of members on this page.
