Two-Generation Farmhouse in St. John.



Steeped in island history and forming part of St John’s rural landscape since 1857,

Malta House is a Grade 3 listed country home built for master mariner Captain Joseph Barette.



Remaining in the same family for over 160 years, the property represents a genuine piece of Jersey heritage, now offering remarkable flexibility for the next custodian.

The main house provides four double bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and two receptions, together with a 35-foot loft suitable for conversion (planning has been approved). An adjoining self-contained studio provides ideal accommodation for guests, teenagers, or a dependent relative. With adaptable proportions and multiple access points, the house could be re-imagined as up to three units or retained as a large multi-generational residence.



Set within about 5.5 vergees of land, the property includes two agricultural fields (currently let to the Jersey Dairy), gardens, and a fine range of outbuildings: garage, workshop, store and traditional granite pigsties, retaining much of their 19th-century character. The south-facing ornamental garden is sheltered and sunny, featuring the original well and hand pump still in working order for irrigation.



Planning has been approved to:

Demolish the existing storage building

Construct a single-storey extension

Convert the existing garage and former bakehouse into a self-contained ancillary unit

Install three rooflights

Reinstate and refurbish the original pigsties



Heritage Significance | HER Reference JN0015 - Listed Building – Grade 3 (Amended Schedule 09 March 2015)

Malta House is recognised by the Jersey Heritage Environment Record as a mid-to-late 19th-century farmstead of special architectural and historical interest, retaining its original features and rural character.



The principal farmhouse is two-storey with attic, five bays under a pitched slate roof with rendered chimneys and octagonal pots. The south elevation presents ashlar-effect render, rusticated quoins, and a central four-panel timber door with coloured-glass sidelights and overlight. Granite-rubble walls and dressed-stone quoins define the side elevations.



The outbuildings include the remains of granite-rubble pigsties to the east, all contributing to the site’s historic farmstead composition.



Malta House is available with vacant possession from the end of February.
