A distinctive coastal home on St Aubin’s Bay

St Brelade | 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 reception rooms | Over 1,600 sq ft | Sea views | No onward chain | Guide price £649,000

Richmond is not a conventional suburban home, and that is precisely its appeal.

Positioned directly opposite St Aubin’s Bay, this substantial Victorian townhouse offers over 1,600 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation, uninterrupted sea views and the beach and promenade quite literally on the doorstep.

Vacant and chain-free, Richmond is ready to move straight into.

For buyers who value character, space and coastal living more than lawns and driveways, Richmond offers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.

✦ ✦ ✦

Character, space and flexibility

Behind its period exterior, Richmond has been comprehensively updated for modern living, including updated electrics and plumbing, a modern heating system, aluminium sash-style windows and neutral décor throughout.

The accommodation includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two reception rooms arranged across four floors, creating natural separation between living, working and sleeping spaces.

A recently installed log burner provides a welcoming focal point, while the large rear utility room offers excellent storage and potential for future adaptation, subject to any necessary permissions.

Few properties at this price point offer this combination of space, character and uninterrupted coastal outlook.

Richmond is not heritage listed.

A lifestyle built around the sea

Living at Richmond is about more than the house itself.

The beach is directly opposite, while the promenade and cycle path connect St Aubin, Beaumont and St Helier. Cafés, restaurants, pubs and excellent bus links are all within easy reach.

The changing tides, boats crossing the bay and ever-changing coastal views provide a backdrop that few homes can offer.

For someone who would rather step outside and be beside the sea than spend weekends maintaining a garden, Richmond offers a compelling alternative.

Parking and practicalities

Richmond does not have allocated parking or a conventional garden.

However, up to two secure rented parking spaces are available a few steps away, and there is also on-street parking and a public car park nearby offering free parking for half of the year.

The promenade, cycle path, bus routes and proximity to St Aubin mean many day-to-day journeys can be made without relying heavily on a car.

Although there is no traditional garden, the beach, promenade and surrounding coastline effectively become part of your outdoor living space.

The utility area cannot be converted into parking. Further information is available within Planning Application P/2015/1129.

Why we bought Richmond

When we first viewed Richmond, private parking and a garden were both on our list of must-haves.

Then we walked inside and fell in love with the views, character and sheer amount of space. During the seven years we have lived here, we realised that what mattered most was being able to walk straight to the beach, stroll into St Aubin and enjoy the ever-changing outlook across the bay.

Richmond will not be the right home for everyone, and that is part of its appeal.

For the right buyer, it offers something increasingly rare: a substantial character home opposite the beach, in one of Jersey’s most desirable coastal locations, with a lifestyle centred around the sea rather than maintaining a garden.

Vacant, chain-free and ready to move into, Richmond is ready for its next chapter.
