Carteret House

Description

Some houses have a sea view. , This one has presence. , Perched high on Jersey's dramatic north-east cliffs, Carteret House commands uninterrupted views across Rozel Bay and out towards the French coastline. You're moments from one of the Island's prettiest harbours and beach - but at home, you've got privacy, space, and that rare feeling of being completely removed from the world (without actually being miles from it). , It's contemporary, confident, and finished to an ultra-luxury standard - the kind of place where every detail feels deliberate, not decorative. , Living The house is built around light and outlook. A generous arrival leads into a choice of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, all framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing that keeps dragging your eye back to the sea. There's a main kitchen with bespoke cabinetry for everyday life, backed up by a fully fitted catering kitchen for when you're hosting properly. Add in a private office, a cinema room, and a layout that opens effortlessly onto the terrace - and it's clear this home was designed to live in, not just admire. On the lower level, it turns into an entertainment zone: bar, dining and lounge areas, plus gym, infra-red sauna, shower and changing facilities with direct access out to the pool terrace. It's "private resort" energy - without trying too hard. , Sleeping Upstairs, the principal suite takes full advantage of the view, with a private balcony, a generous en suite, and a substantial dressing area. The remaining bedrooms are all well-sized, each finished to the same high standard with luxury bathrooms - so guests and family get the same experience, not the "second best" rooms. , Secondary Accommodation A detached six-car garage sits within the courtyard approach, with a self-contained apartment above - ideal for staff, guests, older children, or multi-generational living. , Pool The outside spaces are properly thought through. An impressive heated infinity pool anchors the main terrace, with sunbathing space, a sunken seating area that feels sheltered and private, and further terracing flowing down into the grounds - including a fire pit area for long evenings. There's also a fully operational outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ and pizza oven - because if you're going to do outdoor living, you may as well do it properly. And then there's the headline feature: a pathway winding down from the garden to a hidden cove below. It's the sort of thing you normally only see in brochures abroad… except this is Jersey. , Services Mains water, electricity, and drains, oil-fired central heating (main house), air source heating for the six-car garage/apartment, air source heating for the pool, Security alarm system, CCTV, and automated fire detection , ,
