Atlantic Cottage & Studio

Description

Occupying an exceptional frontline St. Ouen coastal setting, directly opposite the beach and with the beautiful nature reserve forming its backdrop, this highly individual detached home offers far more than first impressions might suggest.

Built circa 13 years ago and set within a particularly generous plot, the property combines an easily maintained lateral home with an impressive collection of additional spaces, including a self-contained holiday let, separate studio/home office with sea views, heated swimming pool and pool house.

The main property is bright and contemporary, with two double bedrooms, one opening directly onto the rear garden and terrace. At its heart is a smart open-plan kitchen with high-quality appliances, flowing into generous dining and living areas, with bi-fold doors connecting seamlessly with the front garden. A second reception room opens onto the rear terrace, while the house bathroom incorporates both a bath and separate shower, together with direct external access, particularly practical when returning from the beach or pool.

To the front of the property is the rare inclusion of a self-contained holiday let, currently generating an income in the region of £20,000 per annum. It provides an attractive additional revenue stream in a prime coastal location with enduring appeal to visitors. Above, a separate studio/home office enjoys fantastic sea views and provides an inspiring and peaceful space from which to work.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The deceptively substantial rear garden has been designed for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining, with extensive paved terraces, lawns and a heated swimming pool. An accompanying pool house incorporates a kitchenette and shower facilities and offers excellent versatility, with the potential to provide additional guest accommodation if desired.

Beyond, a large productive garden provides ample space for growing fruit and vegetables, creating an appealing opportunity for those seeking a more sustainable lifestyle. This area also benefits from separate vehicular access.

Parking for four vehicles is available to the front, comfortably accommodating both residents and holiday guests.

The property has been carefully maintained, with two recently installed air-source heat pumps and a new hot-water cylinder, while its relatively recent construction contributes to an efficient and economical home.

A wonderfully versatile coastal property where the beach, nature reserve and an abundance of walking routes are quite literally on the doorstep, leaving more time to enjoy the pool, gardens and a particularly special part of island life.
