It is a rare opportunity when a recently refurbished family home with bucket loads of character in a desirable location comes onto the market. This former farmhouse can be found a mere hundred meters or so from one of Jersey’s top preparatory schools – St Michaels, in the parish of St Saviour. And if proximity to schooling isn’t top of your wish-list, La Chasse still has plenty to offer.
It is a rare opportunity when a recently refurbished family home with bucket loads of character in a desirable location comes onto the market. This former farmhouse can be found a mere hundred meters or so from one of Jersey’s top preparatory schools – St Michaels, in the parish of St Saviour. And if proximity to schooling isn’t top of your wish-list, La Chasse still has plenty to offer. This five-bedroom home has been lovingly revamped by the DiCasa team to deliver a space of functionality and luxury. A prime example of this clever creativity is the separate standalone annex that accommodates a guest bedroom, entertaining space, kitchenette, shower room, toilet and gym. Outside, the gated entrance opens to a stone driveway with a turning circle and parking for four cars, with a garage to the rear of the house. This is where you will find the formal gardens - all of which are immaculately presented with beautiful Buxus trees and a large entertaining terrace. La Chasse’s gardens are mainly south facing meaning they are sun drenched for the majority of the day and most importantly, lend the property a great deal of privacy. Beyond the entertaining patio, to where the annex sits you’ll find a large outdoor heated pool - with electric cover- and another entertaining terrace. It is from here that you can enjoy rolling views across the property’s 9.2 acres of countryside. Inside the home, the The DiCasa team have spared no expense on this renovation starting from the hallway and cloakroom on the ground floor, through to the brand-new home office, magnificent orangery and drawing room. The generous drawing room has an impressive original stone fireplace and the orangery doubles as an elegant formal dining room with French doors leading out to the rear terrace. The limestone floor across the orangery gives a distinguished feel, with a grand dining table and rustic armoire. The layout has made the most of the room’s height and light, with the floor to ceiling windows and doors. The orangery is serviced by an adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, which is ideally suited for modern living. The well-appointed kitchen is bedecked with a Lacanche French range in its signature shade of porcelain enamel. There is ample cupboard space, a wine fridge and a new utility / pantry area, with the utility room leading out to the rear of the house, allowing for easy access to the garage and gardens. Almost everything in the house is bespoke and every element has been thoughtfully crafted to offer comfort without losing character. Think original granite stone, with nudes and creams, luxe fabrics on dining chairs, velvet lined sofas, linen curtains, and curated art pieces, providing a background that represents a modern take on a traditional farmhouse, without losing any of its charm. On the first floor, there are five generous double bedrooms, including an enormous master en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath and separate shower. The other three bedrooms feature modern, high-spec en-suite bathrooms with the fifth bedroom benefiting from close proximity to the large family bathroom. All of the bathrooms are brand new and boast designer décor and luxury sanitary-ware. Each bedroom in this turnkey properly complements each other, with silk carpets throughout the 1st floor to make for a luxurious finish to the nude colour palette. All the bedrooms have wardrobes, armchairs, and are bedecked in stylish soft furnishings. The master bedroom and other rear bedroom have Juliet balconies, allowing the morning sun to stream into your bed whilst you enjoy your morning coffee. This house is undoubtedly the perfect family home with its welcoming, light interiors and finely detailed finishing touches. If you’re in the market for turnkey luxury then look no further.
