Located in the highly sought-after parish of St John, and just a short stroll from the village amenities, Chestnut Grove is an exceptional granite family home of great scale and character, arranged over three beautifully balanced floors.

Dating from the mid-18th century, circa 1750, this notably handsome detached residence is Grade 2 Listed and forms part of an enchanting farmstead arranged around an attractive courtyard, which Chestnut Grove owns and enjoys exclusively. Approached through electric gates, the courtyard provides extensive parking, a triple garage and an entertaining room above, offering exciting potential for a dower unit, all framed by glorious rural views across neighbouring fields.

To the south, the gardens are a particular triumph, private, expansive and wonderfully mature, creating the perfect backdrop for family life and entertaining alike. Here, a heated swimming pool, recently refurbished tennis court, broad lawns and sun-drenched terraces are all enveloped by established trees and planting, giving the entire setting a sense of seclusion and calm.

Architecturally, Chestnut Grove offers a rare and compelling blend of classic farmhouse authenticity and refined Georgian influence. Traditional proportions are complemented by higher ceilings and elegant sash windows. Internally, the atmosphere is one of understated grandeur and welcoming warmth. The principal hall sits at the heart of the home, leading to a series of beautifully proportioned reception spaces, including a sitting room, drawing room, office, family kitchen, snug and orangery, each enjoying abundant natural light and lovely views across the gardens.

Two staircases enhance the versatility of the accommodation. One serves the principal five-bay section of the house, whilst the second leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom, providing the option to incorporate this area more fully into the main home or utilise it as a more private, semi-self-contained wing for guests, extended family or live-in support.

The first floor of the main house opens to three elegant bedrooms, two of which are complemented by dressing rooms and en-suite bathrooms. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and useful storage.

Chestnut Grove is the embodiment of distinguished yet deeply comfortable family living, set within one of Jersey’s most coveted and enduring rural locations, ideally placed between St Michael’s and St George’s schools. It is a home that invites a certain way of life, long lunches in the garden, children swimming and playing tennis through the summer months, and family and friends gathered around an old refectory table beside the AGA as the day draws to a close.

This is not simply a fine period home; it is a rare and compelling family residence offering an exceptional quality of life in the heart of the Jersey countryside.
