St. Brelade, Jersey
Freehold
£16,000,000
Situated at the head of a verdant green valley in St. Brelade, and within a short distance of St. Aubin, is Le Coin – a breathtaking multi-generational home and a true example of quality personified. Entirely renovated over the last four years, great care has been taken to assemble a team of professional craftsmen to bring contemporary flair to this historic home, dating from the 18th century.
Set within just under five acres of parkland, current and former custodians have taken great care to stock the grounds with specimen shrubs, trees, and planting that add an idyllic and highly private backdrop to this fine home.
A large, bronze single-pivot door opens to the entrance hall, with spiral cellar and porcelain flooring – taking inspiration from Italian Terrazzo. Overhead glazing and feature tiled walls suggest the stylish home that awaits.
Walking through bronze-coloured Crittall-style internal glazed doors, you enter the most magnificent architect-designed kitchen/living/dining family space – with an extensively glazed south-facing elevation and beautifully restored granite walls, a remnant of the original coach house now integrated into the space – all exquisitely lime-pointed and uplit with recessed floor lighting. The vaulted kitchen area has been dressed with the finest Italian furniture from Cesar. We’re particularly fond of the exquisite worktops, made of 98% marble and 2% resin to ensure durability and maintain that gorgeous Terrazzo aesthetic for a lifetime – with integrated sinks in the same finish. Multiple Gaggenau appliances adorn the bank of tall units – symmetrically replicated to provide balance. There are multiple dining areas, from a space large enough to entertain many guests to informal family dining around the banquet seating. The beautifully curated space is further enhanced by thoughtfully integrated lighting, all controlled via an easy-to-use system.
Bronze Crittall-style doors open to the entertaining suite, complete with everything required for a discerning guest and acoustically lined so you can dance the night away without disturbing those sleeping. There’s a host of banquet seating for gathering friends, while a glazed door opens to a multi-use room, currently used as a yoga space – with mirrored walls and double doors leading to the swimming pool.
Back in the main hall is a brilliant utility space – designed for modern family life, with multiple washing machines and tumble dryers, a second fridge/freezer, copious storage space, and a purposeful shower room.
Walking towards the original part of the house, you pass a guest cloakroom with a centrepiece hand-blown sink and feature bronze accessories.
The neutral and well-thought-out colour palette continues throughout the entire house, linking a range of reception spaces – suitable for flexible use, including a sitting room, cinema, further sitting/games room, and another reception room currently used as a dual-station office.
The original hall and staircase rise to the children’s/guests’ bedrooms, where you will find two double bedrooms served by a family bath/shower room, a well-proportioned double bedroom with en-suite shower, and a separate dressing room. Rising again to the second floor, there is a large double bedroom with seating/dressing area and en-suite bath and shower room – complete with freestanding bath. Across the landing is another generously proportioned double bedroom with a stylishly appointed en-suite shower room.
Back on the first floor, the architect has cleverly provided a corridor linking all family bedroom spaces to the stunning primary bedroom suite – comprising hall, incredible dressing room with uncompromising levels of storage, all set behind the very latest in Italian finishes of taupe colouring, bronze detailing and smoked glass. The breathtaking en-suite offers a range of neutral textures and quality ceramic finishes that epitomise luxury, with a gorgeous vanity/sink unit, freestanding bath, walk-through shower large enough for multiple users, and high-quality bronze-coloured sanitaryware from Italian brand, Gessi. There’s also a separate WC for privacy.
Back in the stunning main bedroom, there’s a vaulted ceiling, dual aspect, and overhead glazing – flooding the space with abundant natural light. There’s even a wood-burning stove for the winter months.
The quality accommodation continues with a range of additional cottages and spaces, all presented with the same high standard as seen in the main residence.
To the east of the historic part of the home is an attached two-bedroom cottage (which can also be integrated into the main house, if so desired, or used independently as required), with its own driveway, parking, and entrance. The cottage comprises entrance hall, beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room, and sitting room on the ground floor. Stairs rise to two double bedrooms and a shower room.
To the west of the property is a further, externally accessed, one-bedroom apartment comprising entrance hall, shower room, bedroom, and stunning kitchen/dining/living space with vaulted ceiling.
Enormous care has been taken in restoring this imposing residence – including fully re-pointing all of the Jersey granite with lime, adding brand-new double glazing, and replacing the roofing throughout. The property has also been fully rewired and re-plumbed, future-proofing it as a modern home. Essentially, the house benefits from the best of both worlds: the charm of a historic residence with all the advantages of a new one.
Due to the property’s elevated position, there are splendid views over its Valley Garden down to a lily pond – all bounded by mature trees, shrubs, and planting.
The fully tiled swimming pool has air-source heating and an automated safety cover, whilst the surrounding paved terracing also includes seating areas, firepit, and sauna. The adjacent pool house is yet another entertaining marvel, with a full kitchen/reception space dressed in marble, in addition to pool changing facilities and shower.
A brand-new garage building provides garaging for four cars without compromise – with flat, level access for vehicles. There’s also extensive parking, accessed from the entrance gates via an avenue flanked by mature Magnolia trees.
The owners have recently added a fabulous glazed pavilion on the south-west boundary, reminiscent of a Mies van der Rohe structure – destined for great parties or ideal for use as a home office or gym – all overlooking the tennis court. The surface has been laid, but the court lines are yet to be painted, allowing the owner to choose their preferred use: tennis, five-a-side, or padel. The choice is yours – but one thing is certain: yours will be the house your friends’ and their children will love to visit!
In addition to the three-generation main residence (inclusive of apartment and two-bedroom cottage) there is the possibility to purchase a further two neighbouring houses with scope to renovate and turn the estate into a five-generation property of considerable substance. Details available by request.
A truly magnificent home – a credit to its current custodians, who have breathed new life and soul into it, elevating it for many years to come. Internal viewing highly recommended.
