London House, St John

Description

Hidden away in a quiet valley in St. John, London House is one of those homes that immediately feels welcoming. Dating back to the 1800s, this detached granite cottage has been sympathetically restored over the years, retaining all the character you'd hope to find while creating a home that's practical and comfortable for modern living. The setting is every bit as special as the house itself. Sitting within approximately 1.64 acres, the grounds include mature cottage gardens, an orchard, and areas of woodland, giving the property a wonderful sense of privacy. Despite its peaceful surroundings, you're only a short walk from the spectacular north coast cliff paths at Devil's Hole, Les Mouriers, and Sorel. Inside, the accommodation flows naturally. There are two generous reception rooms, each with plenty of character, alongside a country-style kitchen centred around a traditional Rayburn with space to dine. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room add to the practicality of the layout. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom sits separately from the others and is reached via its own staircase, creating a lovely principal suite with a little more privacy. Throughout the house you'll find exposed granite, original beams, and many of the features that give period homes their charm, all complemented by tasteful updates that make the property easy to enjoy today. Outside, there's ample parking on the gravel driveway, together with a carport and useful storage above. Homes like London House rarely come to the market. Offering privacy, character, and beautiful surroundings, it's an ideal choice for anyone looking to enjoy the quieter side of island life without feeling isolated.
