A remarkable opportunity to acquire a truly multi-generational property with extensive scope for further development.

Shrublands and Lowlands combined present a rare chance to either enhance the existing dwellings and outbuildings or to create a notable new country estate — a blank canvas on which to design and construct a home to your own exacting specification. The opportunities are vast, all subject to achieving the relevant planning permissions, and we recommend early consultation with architects to explore the possibilities.

Discreetly positioned at the end of a private drive and set within just under 10 acres of grounds, the estate currently comprises two dwellings together with an indoor swimming pool (unused), a superb cabin-style office/workshop, and a number of ancillary structures. Collectively, these provide an impressive square footage approaching 6,000 sq. ft., which bodes well for collaborative development.

On arrival, the sense of seclusion is immediate. Elevated views extend across the valley’s tree canopy, while the surrounding grounds include serene woodland, sweeping lawns, productive orchards, nature walks, ponds, and domestic gardens. This environment offers a rare connection to nature and tranquillity — a sanctuary for those seeking true escapism, yet in typical Jersey style, civilisation is within easy reach with St. Aubin and St. Helier both a mere five-minute drive away.

The principal dwelling (Shrublands) is arranged over two floors, with five bedrooms and a variety of reception spaces. Unusually, it incorporates the base of a traditional Jersey granite farmhouse beneath the existing bungalow structure, retaining original character features such as a substantial fireplace and exposed granite walls. The kitchen has been recently installed with quality appliances, while the bathrooms are equally modern and well appointed.

The secondary dwelling (Lowlands) provides entirely lateral living, with a welcoming hall opening to two bedrooms, a vast 30’11 x 18’5 sitting room, a sun room, and kitchen/utility spaces — all enjoying glorious views over the valley.

The pool house, though currently unused, represents a valuable opportunity for renovation or adaptation, whether as leisure space or to add to future accommodation. Meanwhile, the cabin-style office/workshop is in excellent condition and is currently a key hobby space for the owners.

Meandering paths lead throughout the estate, encouraging exploration of its varied landscapes: woodland, open clearings, water features, folly structures, and abundant wildlife all combine to create a unique and captivating ambience.

This is a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate its current charm and extraordinary potential.
