La Pouquelah

This beautiful Guernsey farmhouse, now listed, nestles in an extensive site of 3.5 vergees (just under 1.5 acres) in a highly desirable location alongside of Sausmarez Park and not far from the West Coast. Whilst a perfectly habitable home, it would certainly benefit from modernisation, but provides plenty of scope to evolve and grow. There is certainly a relatively easy roof conversion to be considered, whilst the property also enjoys two one bedroom local market units to one side of the main house. With a number of barns and outbuildings, and excellent privacy throughout the mature gardens, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Guernsey history.
