Le Mont Felard, St. Lawrence, Jersey, JE3

Detached four bedroom property with one bedroom cottage

Description

Dating back to the 16th century, Le Manoir du Fief Es Neveux is charming Jersey granite house immersed in history, character and natural beauty. Set within enchanting private woodland and grounds, this unique home offers an exceptional once in a generation opportunity.
Steeped in local folklore, the property was owned by one of the oldest families in St. Lawrence for approximately 400 years. It is said that King Charles II and his guests were entertained by members of the family in a nearby field, thereafter known as King’s Field. In recognition of their hospitality, the King is believed to have granted the family the right to call their home a manor, and securing its place in Jersey’s rich history.
Approached via a long driveway, Le Manoir du Fief Es Neveux occupies an elevated and wonderfully secluded position above Mont Félard, enjoying complete tranquillity away from traffic noise. The property commands ownership of the surrounding woodland and lawns, while distant sea views can be appreciated from the principal bedroom and selected vantage points throughout the grounds.
The main house is arranged over two storeys, with a distinctive third row of windows added to the upper level, enhancing both its architectural presence and sense of grandeur. Throughout, the house retains the authenticity and character expected of traditional Jersey home. The two front reception rooms feature granite fireplaces, exposed beams, charming granite detailing and an abundance of south-facing windows that flood the interiors with natural light.
Over the centuries, the original house has evolved sympathetically, with carefully considered additions creating a substantial and highly adaptable family home. Complementing the main residence is a separate one bedroom cottage, constructed by the current family in 2004, providing excellent accommodation for guests or extended family.
Remarkably, the property has been held by only two families throughout its lifetime. The current custodians have cherished both the house and its extraordinary setting for over 50 years. While the property would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, it presents an exceptional opportunity for the new custodians.
The woodland is a truly magical feature of the property. Lovingly maintained over many decades, it offers winding pathways and peaceful walks originally created by the current family to enjoy with their dogs. The result is a captivating natural landscape where wildlife flourishes and every turn reveals a new perspective. Combining privacy, beauty and a profound connection with nature, the grounds are as special as the house itself.
Le Manoir du Fief Es Neveux represents a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire beautiful piece of Jersey, a place to escape, unwind and immerse oneself in the beauty of its surroundings.
