Hauteville, St. Peter Port 6 bed detached house for sale

Frenchay House is the very definition of a Georgian Townhouse located in the heart of historical St. Peter Port. A literal stone’s throw from Victor Hugo’s house, the property was built in 1798 and started its existence as a Georgian bank with residential accommodation included. This unsurprisingly Listed property – where the majority of its features are original – boasts an enviable sense of space throughout due to the incredibly high ceilings and large, fully-renovated windows, (with the ground and first floor boasting original, operational shutters). Those distinctly Georgian spatial characteristics combined with the smaller scaled details including original mosaic entrance hall, panelling, covings and period fireplaces, complete the historic picture. Since taking ownership, the current owners – custodians for the next generation of owners – have renovated the property extensively upgrading all services including drainage, plumbing and electrics, as well as completely repointing all Frenchay’s walls. The accommodation is extensive comprising five ground floor reception spaces, and over the three upper floors, six bedrooms (two ensuite) and a further three bath-and shower-rooms. Five of the six bedrooms possess breathtaking views encompassing the whole of Havelet Bay and the Little Russell beyond. A versatile, double-height conservatory can be found between the first and second floors, connecting the house to the entirely enclosed gardens, which comprise of a mix of terraced lawns flagging both sides of the property. An integral garage with parking for two in tandem and separate carport complete this fine property’s offering. Frenchay House is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Guernsey history.
