Les ForfaituresRuette Des Forfaitures, Castel, Guernsey, GY5 7XS

Set in a quiet and leafy lane close to the west coast, Les Forfaitures is an elegant and substantial period house with high ceilings and large rooms which has benefitted from a considerable amount of improvement and upgrading over recent years.

The main house has numerous reception rooms, several of which open to the rear garden and overlook the swimming pool. The characterful kitchen is complemented by a super utility and boot room, ideal for larger families.

Bedroom space is well catered for on the first floor. They are all large, but the principle suite is quite a statement and occupies the whole of the rear of the property. The vaulted ceiling provides brightness and space rarely found in homes. The other four bedrooms are all substantial doubles, one of which benefits from an additional en suite. All of these rooms are charming, several have fireplaces to remind you of the buildings heritage.

The barn, garage and adjacent outbuildings have also been overhauled to provide a beautifully crafted and future-proofed separate unit of accommodation, with a bedroom, bathroom and open plan kitchen living room. Adjoining this building is a gym / ancillary room with home office above, making for a quiet escape from family life.

The garden is large enough to enjoy year round, and provides a high degree of privacy from any other properties. The large raised patio to the rear houses the swimming pool and will enjoy the sunshine all day long. The property has ample parking for even the largest of families and is all neatly tucked away behind some nicely secure electric gates.
