Forest Hill

Description

Forest Hill is a distinguished period residence combining panoramic views from the upper floors, substantial 2.7 acre grounds, impressive proportions and exceptional potential.

Occupying a commanding elevated position above Le Mont des Vignes, Forest Hill is a substantial period residence offering exceptional privacy, extensive accommodation and far-reaching panoramic views from the upper floors across St. Aubin’s Bay towards Elizabeth Castle.

Approached through electric gates, a sweeping circular driveway creates an impressive sense of arrival and leads to a handsome home of considerable scale and character.

The principal accommodation is generously proportioned and particularly well suited to both family life and entertaining. At its heart is a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room opening into a large, light-filled sunroom, creating an inviting connection with the surrounding gardens.

A series of elegant reception rooms includes a particularly impressive drawing room, while two utility rooms and two cloakrooms provide excellent practical accommodation.

The first floor comprises four bedroom suites, each with its own en suite bathroom, with the elevated position revealing impressive views across St. Aubin’s Bay. Two further bedrooms and a shared bathroom occupy the second floor, providing flexible accommodation for family, guests or staff and enjoying an even more commanding outlook.

A basement level incorporates a wine store and two additional storage rooms.

Attached to the main residence is a self-contained one-bedroom unit, ideally suited to guests, extended family or staff. A substantial double garage with adjoining storerooms provides further ancillary space, while an additional kitchen positioned alongside the garage is particularly convenient for outdoor entertaining and summer gatherings.

Forest Hill sits within expansive private gardens and grounds, where mature planting, established lawns and secluded areas create a notable sense of privacy. Despite its peaceful setting, the property remains conveniently positioned for St. Aubin, Jersey Airport, the island’s leading schools and St. Helier.

For an incoming owner, one of Forest Hill’s greatest attractions is the opportunity it presents. Already a significant and highly individual residence, there is considerable scope to sensitively enhance and modernise the property, creating an exceptional home tailored to individual requirements while retaining the character and presence of the original house.

For those seeking the combination of substantial accommodation, privacy, land, ancillary space and panoramic views, all within easy reach of Jersey’s principal amenities and connections, Forest Hill represents a compelling and increasingly rare opportunity.
