Uniquely located and finished to a high standard. This stunning coastal cottage and guard house is the opportunity to purchase a piece of the islands history. Completely renovated with care and attention to detail in 2013 it has been a labour of love for the current owners. The property now has a stunning living space with a modern extension accessing a sun terrace with sea views, 2-bedroom suites, and a detached guard house that has a mezzanine area which is an impressive use of space. Outside you have direct access to St Brelades Bay, a large private garden, and ownership of the land to the high-water line. A truly special property which owns all the ground below it to the centre of the earth and the space to the stars above. This is a legal doctrine called ad coelun that rarely comes available. It was originally part of a huge network built 200+ years ago that protected the whole bay. It looks out across the bay to the La Cotte Cave which is the earliest settlement in Jersey.
