La Chasse
Description
A rare and captivating Grade III Listed farmstead, boasting a rich history dating back to the 18th century—possibly with origins as early as the 16th century.
Located in the highly desirable parish of Trinity, La Chasse is set back from the road via a private drive, offering tranquil and private living.
Exuding quintessential Jersey charm, with traditional features such as granite fireplaces and beams, La Chasse now requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout and provides an incredible canvas for a new owner.
Upon arrival at the traditional courtyard, the scale of this magnificent property becomes apparent, with vast barns, stabling, a principal dwelling, and an attached cottage—all of which are primed for further development (subject to planning permission) and present an opportunity to create an impressive home to meet your personal requirements and specifications.
The principal dwelling boasts expansive accommodation over two floors, with larger-than-average rooms, most enjoying southerly and westerly aspects. Currently comprising five bedrooms, the configuration would easily allow for the creation of multi-generational units. Additionally, there is already an attached two-bedroom cottage that has been renovated in recent years, which could provide an immediate home whilst you develop the larger section of the property.
The gardens were clearly a labour of love for the previous custodians of La Chasse, providing a verdant haven to enjoy. With a predominant south-west facing aspect, the meandering paths link extensive lawns with mature trees and shrubs, further extending to fields that encompass a total land area of 14.9 acres.
Internal viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the potential and unique qualities of this historical gem.

What would this cost to buy?
A live estimate, not a quote — change any figure below and everything recalculates immediately. Stamp duty / Land Transaction Tax uses Jersey's own standard-residence bands (see buying property in Jersey for the full table and how share-transfer property differs); the mortgage side is a standard capital-and-interest repayment calculation, not an offer from any lender.
Getting connected
Jersey has two residential broadband providers: JT — the island's own former state telecom, now Jersey's full-fibre network builder — and Sure, which completed absorbing Airtel-Vodafone's Channel Islands customer base in September 2025 (Airtel-Vodafone no longer trades as a separate operator here). Jersey's copper phone network is largely already history: JT finished building an island-wide fibre-to-the-home network back in July 2018 and has been retiring copper ever since — well ahead of Guernsey, where the equivalent copper switch-off was still under way through 2026. Always confirm actual coverage and switch-over status at this specific address directly with JT or Sure before assuming.
What would improving it be worth?

Value added is the extra floor area priced at £7,114/m² — the midpoint asking price per m² among 8 Trinity properties currently for sale that publish a floor area. Cost uses £4,000–£6,000/m² new build and £2,000–£4,000/m² refurbishment, depending on quality. Net is against the mid rate. The last column is how often Jersey actually approves that kind of application.
Unlike the value side of this table (priced from Jersey's own current asking prices), the £4k–6k new-build / £2k–4k refurbishment rates are carried across from guernseyproperties.gg, where they were supplied by that site's owner from local Guernsey experience — they have not been independently verified for Jersey, and construction costs plausibly differ between the islands. Treat the Cost and Net columns as an unverified placeholder until a Jersey-specific quantity surveyor's rate replaces them.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Add a bedroom (single-storey extension) A modest double plus circulation, built new. ~14 m² |

| Loft conversion with a bedroom Works inside an existing roof, so it prices as refurbishment rather than new build — which is why it usually wins. ~20 m² |

| Garage, annexe or outbuilding Detached space is worth less per m² than main-house floor area. ~18 m² |

Two things it cannot see. First, it prices floor area at the local average rate — it doesn't know your plot, your roof, your outlook, or whether an extension is physically possible; nor whether your street has a ceiling price that no amount of extending beats. Second, the rate comes from asking prices of other properties currently for sale that state a floor area — a minority of Jersey's live stock, so treat the sample sizes shown as real limits, not decoration.
The obvious alternative method is worse, which is why it isn't used here: comparing a typical 3-bed with a typical 4-bed suggests a bedroom is worth far more than it actually is — a bigger bed-count usually means a bigger house on a bigger plot, so that figure measures the mix of what's for sale, not the value of adding a room.
Before spending anything, get a builder's quote and talk to an architect — the type-of-work approval rates show how often that kind of application actually succeeds.

Estimate the cost of work you're considering
No live planning permission is on file for this address, so there's nothing to price directly — pick the kind of work you're weighing up instead, using the same cost ranges this site applies to real Jersey planning applications.
The work type shown is inferred automatically from the wording of the planning application's own description — it isn't stated by the applicant. The base cost range comes from published UK national renovation/build-cost guides for that type of project, and a ~25% uplift has been added to reflect higher shipping/import and skilled-labour costs in the Channel Islands — this is an estimate, not a published index. These figures are indicative only, not a quote: actual cost depends on specification, finish, ground conditions and the contractor. For anything serious, get a quote from a local quantity surveyor or builder.
