Description
A truly iconic residence in Jersey, Channel Islands has come to market for the first time since being built in the early 1980's.
Designed by the inventor of the Black and Decker Workmate, Ron Hickman, It is described as an 'exemplar of its age' not only for its high-tech design but also for its ecological considerations on conserving heat and energy.
The Grade 2 listed property 'has exceptional value as a unique house of its date. The house has architectural quality and integrity, substantially unaltered with a consistent design language running throughout. It is unusual internationally as well as in Jersey, for the quality of its materials and use of natural light, features that demonstrate consistency of vision throughout'.
A stand out feature is the roof which at various parts extends to the ground.
It is approached through a pillared entrance along a sweeping drive and surrounded by flat, mainly lawned, grounds extending to four acres. There are mature planted borders and beautiful trees, dotting the landscape, providing great privacy in one of Jersey's most sought after parishes.
Designed to take advantage of the sea views from most principal rooms, the location is very desirable indeed.
It comprises: Impressive entrance hall with sweeping staircase, the fabulous sitting room has high ceilings, large full-width windows, a real fire, doors which lead to the terrace, sea views and is an impressive 32 ft in width. There are several reception rooms including a music room, craft room, snooker room and games room. There are offices, the most impressive being on the top floor, being 39ft in length and with fabulous sea views.
The main bedroom suite is 32ft wide with dressing area and en suite bathroom, there is access to its own balcony and has views across the expansive lawn to the sea beyond. There are two more bedrooms at this level. A convenient lift allows ease of access to all floors in the main part of the house.
There are 3 separate apartments for guests or staff, which can be incorporated to the main house or can be closed off and accessed via a separate entrance.
There is a notable indoor swimming pool complex with changing rooms and sauna.
There are x 3 double integral garages and separate single garage block. There is ample parking on site for 20 plus cars.
The garden area includes a green house and area for growing your own fruit and vegetables.
Covering more than 16,000 sq ft, this home has been designed for entertaining and to be adaptable for a more modest family with the ability to spread into the apartments when extended family or friends visit.
