The Rectory, Rue de La Lande, Castel, GY5

A beautiful granite rectory in an elevated position on the sought after West coast.

Description

Situated in a prominent and proud position atop Albecq headland, sits a house of historic and cultural importance which is being brought to the public market for the first time in its history. The quality of stonework and craftsmanship is quite unlike any other property and the architecture is instantly recognisable as that of a Victorian rectory.

The accommodation is grand, with unusually high ceilings across both floors. Three reception rooms are provided on the ground floor with an additional room available for upgrade which could provide a variety of uses. The kitchen and utility boot room are also situated here with convenient access to the side door, an often overlooked practicality.

The first floor provides four bedrooms complete with two bathrooms, one accessed from two of the larger rooms - the accommodation doesn't stop there however. An additional staircase on this floor gives access to what is currently the loft, but has previously been used as additional accommodation. This area will need to be renovated, but the vast spaces could easily provide numerous extra bedrooms, study's or flexible spaces as required.

Externally, The Rectory has a superb garden area, which is nicely balanced with lawns both front and rear. The elevation provides views across Vazon Bay to the south west and the green valley behind to the north east. The old coach house at the rear of the property is currently under utilised, but would make a super fun space, garage or home office, but also has the potential to be used as ancillary accommodation to the main house.

A piece of Guernsey's cultural history, ready for a new owner.
