La Rue De Maupertuis, St. Mary, Jersey

Property Description

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY - We are delighted to present a rare opportunity to acquire and develop a Grade 3 Listed property, rich in history and character. Originally a 16th-century residence, this distinguished building retains significant historical features both inside and out. Situated in the picturesque Le Mourier Valley in St Mary, the property includes a charming outbuilding. The location offers fabulous walks and is a short drive to St John’s Village amenities and St Peter, with the local pub at Devils Hole within comfortable walking distance. About 20 years ago, a Planning application was successfully approved to convert the property into a two-bedroom house for the owner's family, though the project was not pursued. Recently, a feasibility study has been conducted to explore the site's potential under the current island plan, envisioning a highly desirable family home. This proposed restoration and development plan aims to honor the building's historical legacy while thoughtfully integrating modern comforts. The project includes removing unsympathetic modern extensions on the north side, which detract from the property's authentic Jersey charm. While specific plans have not been submitted, allowing interested parties to contribute their ideas, an example dwelling design includes five double bedrooms, four bathrooms, four reception rooms, a large open-plan kitchen, a one-bedroom flat for multi-generational living, a double garage, and parking for up to five cars. The estimated build cost for this comprehensive restoration and development is projected to be between £1.5 and £1.7 million. This investment offers a unique opportunity to restore a piece of Jersey's heritage, creating a luxurious and spacious family home that blends historical charm with modern amenities. This property is a highly attractive proposition for discerning buyers seeking a blend of history and contemporary living.
