Casa Carteret

Some houses have a sea view.
This one has presence.
Perched high on Jersey’s dramatic north-east cliffs, Carteret House commands uninterrupted views across Rozel Bay and out towards the French coastline. You’re moments from one of the Island’s prettiest harbours and beach - but at home, you’ve got privacy, space, and that rare feeling of being completely removed from the world (without actually being miles from it).
It’s contemporary, confident, and finished to an ultra-luxury standard - the kind of place where every detail feels deliberate, not decorative.
Living The house is built around light and outlook. A generous arrival leads into a choice of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, all framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing that keeps dragging your eye back to the sea. There’s a main kitchen with bespoke cabinetry for everyday life, backed up by a fully fitted catering kitchen for when you’re hosting properly. Add in a private office, a cinema room, and a layout that opens effortlessly onto the terrace - and it’s clear this home was designed to live in, not just admire. On the lower level, it turns into an entertainment zone: bar, dining and lounge areas, plus gym, infra-red sauna, shower and changing facilities with direct access out to the pool terrace. It’s ”private resort” energy - without trying too hard.
Sleeping Upstairs, the principal suite takes full advantage of the view, with a private balcony, a generous en suite, and a substantial dressing area. The remaining bedrooms are all well-sized, each finished to the same high standard with luxury bathrooms - so guests and family get the same experience, not the ”second best” rooms.
Secondary Accommodation A detached six-car garage sits within the courtyard approach, with a self-contained apartment above - ideal for staff, guests, older children, or multi-generational living.
Pool The outside spaces are properly thought through. An impressive heated infinity pool anchors the main terrace, with sunbathing space, a sunken seating area that feels sheltered and private, and further terracing flowing down into the grounds - including a fire pit area for long evenings. There’s also a fully operational outdoor kitchen with a built-in BBQ and pizza oven - because if you’re going to do outdoor living, you may as well do it properly. And then there’s the headline feature: a pathway winding down from the garden to a hidden cove below. It’s the sort of thing you normally only see in brochures abroad⦠except this is Jersey.
Services Mains water, electricity, and drains, oil-fired central heating (main house), air source heating for the six-car garage/apartment, air source heating for the pool, Security alarm system, CCTV, and automated fire detection
