6 bed detached house for sale

La Rue Du Bocage, St. Brelade, Jersey JE3

Description

La Ferme du Roi is a distinguished Grade 3 listed country estate, steeped in history and charm, and believed to date back to the early 17th century. This characterful former Jersey farmstead retains a wealth of original features and makes a significant contribution to the appeal of its rural lane setting, with a gable stone dated 1666. Reputed to have provided shelter to King Charles II and his mistress during the English Civil War, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a unique piece of Jersey’s heritage in the ever-popular parish of St. Brelade.

Set in picturesque and tranquil countryside, the estate comprises a substantial four-bedroom main house and an independent two-bedroom cottage, together providing exceptionally flexible accommodation ideal for multi-generational living or as a home with strong income potential. The cottage is currently operated as a successful holiday let.

The main house offers generous and versatile living space. At its heart is a welcoming kitchen/dining room with vaulted ceilings, exposed original beams and a log-burning stove, creating a warm and atmospheric family hub. A separate living room provides an additional cosy reception space, while a cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first and second floors provide four well-proportioned bedrooms and two further bathrooms. There is excellent potential, subject to the necessary consents, to convert the existing eaves storage into an additional bedroom. Ideal for modern lifestyles, the property also benefits from a dedicated home office with its own separate entrance, perfect for those working remotely or running a business from home. Two additional rooms offer superb scope for further accommodation, a gym, studio or hobby rooms.

Separate from the main residence, a beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest cottage offers complete privacy and independence. Arranged over a spacious, light-filled open-plan upper level, it is perfectly suited for visiting guests, extended family or continued use as an income-generating rental unit.

Externally, the estate enjoys attractive rural surroundings, with dual driveway entrances, ample parking and extensive storage options including a garage currently used for storage, a traditional outhouse and a large garden store. The holding includes approximately 7 vergees of agricultural land presently let to Jersey Dairy for potato cultivation, further enhancing its rural credentials.

With its generous plot size, there is significant scope, subject to planning, to create garaging, stables or a bespoke outdoor entertaining area, allowing purchasers to tailor the estate to their own lifestyle needs while preserving its unique historic character.
