Coast and cliff top pathways.
ONE OF JERSEY'S MOST EXCLUSIVE COUNTRY ESTATES

The extensive c 16000sq ft residential complex is approached via a long private driveway no-through-road. Domaine de la Valette
occupies an exceptionally sheltered site nestling in picturesque undulating countryside. The lands encircling the many buildings
comprise of beautiful surrounding leisure gardens, mature deciduous and bluebell woodland plus south-facing tiered and landscaped
flower gardens and a large wildflower meadow. Again and more or less surrounding are extensive areas of agricultural land currently
down to mown grass. Direct access may be gained through the Valette buildings and gardens directly onto the North coast cliff paths
and beautiful sea views are enjoyed from many parts of the curtilage.

The main house is contained within central, east, and west wings and offers exceptionally generous family accommodation together with
a superb leisure/health complex containing a particularly fine indoor swimming pool, gym space, hammam, sauna, changing rooms/
showers and a convenience kitchen. Additional to the main house is an attractive and large cottage divided into spacious fully
self-contained two-bedroom apartments one above the other. Pleasingly both the sports complex and this cottage may be accessed
in bad weather via a clean dry underground passageway accessed from the main house, kitchen area and laundry. Closeby and across
a stone -paved courtyard is a particularly charming and well maintained two-bedroom detached guest cottage dating back to 1609.
Generous garaging is provided within an adjacent mews which also is home to a well-equipped workshop.

The property is ideally suited to those seeking a generously sized home inviting multi- generational suitability and matched with
unequalled privacy and seclusion. A 10 minute drive away (or bicycle) is the village of St John with Church, Marks and Spencer, Chemist
Doctor, other service etc.

All the buildings are constructed in wonderful indigenous Jersey granite and so present a visually harmonious entity.
A delightful traditional 18th century Jersey farmhouse structure has been incorporated within the overall main house development. The
entire property was reengineered to highly exacting standards in the late 20th century to create one of Jersey's most desirable country
residences.

The main house accommodation is comprehensive and includes a baronial style galleried reception hall with dining room off, a 36'6'
principal living room, a sitting room and billiard room and bar, a conservatory, library - sized mahogany and glass cabinets, a splendid
principal bedroom suite and five further bedrooms. A separate and secure well laid - out private home office suite with independent
access completes the main house.

The two self-contained apartments each comprise a living room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and bathrooms. The 17th century
detached guest's cottage comprises a 30' living room with cathedral vaulted ceiling, stone flagged floor, and a superb, corbeled granite
fireplace. A fitted kitchen and dining table area combine to make a lovely cottage home.
