5 bed link detached house for sale

La Rue De La Ville Au Bas, St. Lawrence, Jersey JE3

Description

Discreetly located behind electric gates and mature planting, this truly magnificent country residence was constructed approximately 19 years ago of classical proportions with all the gravitas of a period home yet all the benefits of a modern build.

Arranged over four floors, the ground floor comprises entrance hall with period inspired detailing, cloak room, storage, fabulous sitting room with bespoke cabinetry and double-sided fireplace open to the Orangery with glazed atrium and predominant South and West aspects. A study/snug further extends the reception space adjacent to the 33'8 kitchen/dining room - bathed in light from the South facing elevation. The feeling of circulation continues with another reception space - referred to in the floor-plan as the snug, with exposed Jersey granite detailing, fabulous fireplace and patio doors opening directly to the pool terrace. An entrance vestibule connects further space currently used as a sunroom, shower room for the swimming pool, laundry and boiler room.

A secret door leads to a granite barn which was renovated when the principal residence was constructed to provide garaging for four cars with a staircase leading to a room over - suitable for a discreet home office, guest accommodation or simply accessible storage.

Back to the stylish main residence and rising to the first floor from the turned stair, any family will appreciate the three, vast bedroom suites - each with en-suite bath/shower rooms and bespoke feature joinery.

Rising to the second floor, you will find two further generous bedrooms - each with dressing areas, linked by a family bath/shower room.

The basement provides a useful space, previously used for a full-sized snooker room but now a blank canvas for any new owner to utilise as required - ideal for a secure playroom, cinema or entertainment area.

Externally, there are a range of outbuildings including further garaging and covered car ports. For car enthusiasts, the property can currently garage six cars - eight, if doors are added to the car ports. There is also extensive parking in the carriage drive.

The swimming pool with electric safety cover is surrounded by extensive terracing and seating areas best placed to enjoy private and sheltered alfresco life with unencumbered sun until end of day. There is also a home gym beside the pool. An Italianate balustrade surrounds a lawned area bounded by mature planting, shrubs and trees.

To the North of the property is a further land area included in the sale, planted with established fruit trees including pear, apple and plum trees.

To the East of the property is a large field included in the sale and currently let to a farmer which controls the destiny of this prestigious home and secures adjoining land from future development.

St. George's Preparatory School is a mere seven minute drive from this home whilst the airport and central St. Helier are also equally accessible within a short drive.

Ville au Bas is a magnificent home, highly recommended by Livingroom. The light-filled spaces and sheer volume of quality accommodation ensure this property is one of the very best in its class. Early viewing will avoid disappointment.
