Description
Description
L’Ecluse which translates to "the lock", is steeped in Jersey history. It was originally a granite farmhouse and was responsible for controlling the water flow of the valley watermill.
The property was purchased by the present owner in 2006 and has since undergone a complete re-design. Particular attention has been paid to how the property ‘flows’ and how the interior relates to the exterior, taking advantage of the properties elevated position, and utilising optimal facilities for family living.
The accommodation is set out over three floors with each level having a specific purpose, with the design focusing on maximising its elevated outlook. From its gated entrance, the lower drive sweeps round to a double garage and ample parking.
The entrance hall and integral apartment are positioned on the ground floor with the focus of the first floor on family living and entertaining. A very spacious open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, snug, study, wine store, utility and wrap around decked terraces - ideal for summer drinks, al fresco dining and entertaining.
The second floor has a superb sitting room with a wood burning stove which leads onto the top garden. The principal bedroom suite, has access to a large sun deck positioned to soak up the panoramic view whilst bathing in the sunken jacuzzi.
The top floor has a fabulous guest suite, two further en suite bedrooms and the remaining two bedrooms share a well-equipped house bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from fitted handmade bespoke wardrobes and have superb views.
In the 1950’s an extensive garden design by a designer from Kew Gardens was incorporated into the lower grounds, particular attention given to the texture of tree trunks, and the colour of autumn foliage. Species such as lace bark ash, snake bark maple, silver birch, dawn redwoods, American hickory and a variety of aces.
There are very large, mature species of rhododendron, along with rare and unusual species of Magnolia and Camellia. To the rear of L’Ecluse there is a wooden ‘White Cottage’ greenhouse planted with citrus and vine and an open fronted log store. The orchard is planted with a large variety of fruit trees.
The property also benefits from a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom, detached guest/staff cottage, known as the 'Lock Keepers Cottage', with its own drive, carport and parking for three cars.
Location
