Das Haus Von St. Claire

Behind electric gates sits an exceptional period home that has been beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated, combining the character of a historic property with the comfort and convenience of modern living.
The accommodation extends over three floors and offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living space. At the heart of the house is a bespoke Smallbone kitchen with a fully fitted walk-in pantry, complemented by a formal dining room, an elegant sitting room, and a striking Art Deco-inspired cinema room with its own Smallbone kitchenette. A spiral wine cellar provides a unique feature, while a lift connects all floors of the property.
The principal suite occupies its own private space, complete with a dressing room and terrace overlooking the gardens. Outside, the grounds have been designed for both entertaining and family life, with a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, orangery, productive vegetable garden, orchard, and beautifully established gardens. There are also four useful outbuildings, one of which has been fitted with a kitchenette.
A real feature of the estate is the detached Victorian Gothic building, dating back to 1871. Carefully restored with exposed brickwork, original beams, stained-glass windows, heating, and full insulation, it offers a versatile space that could suit a home office, studio, entertaining room, or a variety of other uses.
The property also benefits from two detached granite cottages, each providing three bedrooms, private gardens, their own parking and independent access, making them ideal for guest accommodation, multi-generational living, staff or rental income.
Triple garaging, a boot room, and extensive parking complete what is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the island’s finest period homes.
