Description
Description
On the market for the first time in over 50 years, La Fontaine Farm is a fine and rare example of a beautiful old Jersey farmhouse situated in its own land offering complete privacy and tranquillity. The oldest part of the house dates back to c1600 with later date stones of 1734 and 1983 when the whole estate was sympathetically restored and modernised.
Although traditional in style with many original features such as large granite fireplaces and deep set windows inviting natural light into the home, unusually the house benefits from a fabulous 50’ double height entertainment room with minstrels gallery and impressive double height galleried entrance hall providing ample and elegant space ideal for entertaining.
The house has been a wonderful, happy home to the same family for over 50 years and would now benefit from sympathetic renovation in order to restore its unique charm.
The light filled main reception rooms offer high ceilings and a sense of grandeur ideal for entertaining family and friends as well as several generously proportioned family living areas and a traditional beamed kitchen with Aga and views over the gardens.
Upstairs is a collection of bedrooms and bathrooms providing ample space for family living with each room featuring period details that add character and authenticity.
There is also an adjoining, separate one bedroom flat ideal for staff or guests.
The property is surrounded by its own fields, post and rail paddocks for grazing horses, orchard, private walled garden with swimming pool and a water garden with several ponds all totalling approximately 25 vergees.
In addition there is garaging for 5-6 cars with attic above (with development potential), stable and tack room (currently used for storage) and a separate building with sauna, plunge pool and changing rooms.
