St Martin

A charming traditional granite built cottage style residence of most significant character, providing deceptively sizeable accommodation and featuring a unique original cider press set within the very generous sized 30' entrance/entertaining area of the house. The entrance area, currently classified by Planning as ancilliary' rather than residential, provides a fantastic and most unique facility, if required, for entertaining/party purposes and is of great antiquity and original character, virtually unique within the island.

Originally built in the early 1700's as part of an important farm complex, Rose Lea Cottage was substantially restructured in the late 1990's, to create this delightful country home and retains many of its original features, such as timber beams and exposed granite features, the property appealing to those who are drawn to character over contemporary design. Located within St Martin's Village and within easy walking distance of an M&S food store, church, village pub and other useful amenities. Lovely rural walks are on the doorstep' and St Catherine's Woods are but a few minutes' walk away down quiet country lanes.
The property has during this year (2024) been the subject of careful and sympathetic repairs necessitated by damage caused by storm Cieran in Oct, 2023. At the same time, the owners have taken the opportunity to install a new electric boiler and hard flooring throughout the ground floor. The current accommodation comprises: a generous sized entrance/reception room which is very unique, featuring original apple crusher and cider press, open plan kitchen/diner with separate utility, cloakroom and living room with open fireplace. Upstairs accommodation provides four bedrooms, three doubles and a single, two bathrooms and some eaves storage.

Externally the property has its own good sized level courtyard style garden and is approached via a long shared driveway with designated private parking for three cars. There is an additional small granite paved, sunny border garden area facility and a separate pedestrian gateway access off the Grande Route de Faldouet.
