5 bed detached house for sale

Green Street, St Helier JE2

Listed Buildings Register states:

The house was designed by locally renowned architect Arthur B Grayson in 1934, and is one of the best examples of International-style architecture in Jersey. The house retains its innovative early 1930s external form and character with many features illustrative of that period and of the modernist architectural style. It is set within gardens and a driveway approached through a pair of specially designed gates and pillars. The house has an interesting asymmetrical composition, characterised by geometric shapes and the use of different surface textures and materials. The entrance is notable for its cantilevered canopy and carefully designed door with geometric patterned moulding and aeroplane handle. There is a variety of metal framed windows and doors throughout including casements and wrap-around corner windows, and pairs of glazed steel doors opening onto the garden. Overlooking the garden is an elegantly curved balcony that projects from the first floor, supported by a single column. On the opposite corner of the house is a single storey block with a port-hole and semi-circular 'funnel' projection - all reminiscent of the ship design fashionable at the time. The interior retains elements from Grayson's original 1930s scheme. Included within the listing are: " the original plan form - including the alcove between the hall and stairway - and the staircase; " the radiator covers in the ground floor hallway (which follow Grayson's original design); " original 1930s fireplaces and hearths; " original checkerboard flooring where surviving; " original door handles where surviving; and " the 1930s telephone table. Call us today to step back to 1934 and experience such an avant-garde era.
