Courtil Brock, Doyle Road, St Peter Port, GY1

Grand Regency manor house with walled gardens in a prime central location

Description

One of the finest Georgian villas in St Peter Port, this exquisite and grand trophy home dates back to 1810 and is named after the Brock family who are synonymous with the area.

Built at the turn of the Regency era following the emerging architectural trends of the time, the styling, contemporary for its time, echoes many notable homes in London including that of Poet John Keats in Hampstead.

Set back in relative seclusion on a site of just over an acre, the south facing façade boasts full height three-part windows framed by four pairs of pillars on the south facing terrace which looks out across the ornate gardens.

With 12 foot high ceilings, the principal rooms on the ground floor exude opulence and grandeur which are sure to impress. The drawing room, library and dining room all flow seamlessly from the main entrance hall with a further sitting room, kitchen, cinema and office completing the offering.

With five generous en suite bedrooms on the first floor there is ample space to suit a range of buyers while the primary bedroom suite is a true delight featuring views over the gardens to the south and a dressing room adjacent to the en suite bathroom.

The full accommodation spans two floors with a further basement and attic level offering ample scope to extend if desired. The basement currently offers useful storage and a traditional wine cellar, workshop and plant room.

Externally, the property is enclosed by mature gardens featuring detailed planting and a koi pond with waterfall, vegetable plot and rose garden. A notable highlight is the English Oak planted in 1812 by Henry Brock the first custodian of the home.

With ample parking on the forecourt and a cobbled yard alongside the coach house garage this property really offers everything a discerning buyer could want and viewing is highly recommended.
