Highcliff has been completely refurbished producing a stunning, traditional, yet modern finish. The grounds too have been completely overhauled, with a heated swimming pool, mature woodlands, and natural coastal headland with views of the French coast.
The property is situated on the headland above Bonne Nuit Bay with distant views towards the other islands. Offering glorious cliff walks along the island's north coast which is perfect on a sunny day and St Helier is an easy fifteen-minute drive proving the perfect location.
The main house is magnificent in its own right and retains all the originals character. It's far from what you would expect and contains a colour palette of luxe nudes and taupe's, complemented with rich dark oak wooden flooring and velvet carpets throughout its 4-bedroom suites. The imposing hallway is refreshingly bright and modern but with exquisite traditional touches like the vintage radiator covers, which leads to an impressive walnut rail and wrought iron staircase. Electric gates and magnificent exterior lighting brings the granite facades and outdoor spaces to life with accent and ambiance surrounding the property.
The rich dark flooring continues into a formal drawing room and a large dining room finished with luxurious fabrics, elegant rugs, and a wonderful collection of antiques strategically placed to make use of the space. The sumptuous colour scheme is bold and brave but not too much. The choice of accessories and sculptures completes the interior vision and provides an instantaneous homely feel.
The exceptional kitchen has an impeccable layout, neutral and pale blue palette, and traditional four oven Aga cooker. The effect of this neutral colour scheme is welcoming and cosy, minimalist, and fresh. Reconfigured to produce an expansive island with three breakfast chairs and marble white top, represents a serenity, luxury, and comfort. The vaulted ceiling gives an incredible feeling of space and natural light. Outside the kitchen there is a wonderful patio, with Sonos inbuilt to the walls, making for the perfect outdoor entertaining space.
Highcliff also offers the perfect family room, which has been beautifully decorated around a wood-burning stove, surround sound cinema TV and blackout curtains. The thought of winter drinks and dinners around a roaring fire and log burner is too easy to imagine. The wood-burning stoves provide an excellent alternative to a real fire, being more efficient and clean. Sustainability is at the forefront of the design. They have considered the environment, social and economic impact of the refurbishment, totally committed to sustainable construction, and greener living.
The bedroom suites are set across the first and second floors of this grand property. The luxe velvet carpet is throughout giving that comforting feel. The first-floor master bedroom suite combines contemporary furniture shapes with traditional detailing. Gold gilt antique mirrors adorn the walls and walnut antique pieces align the bedroom.
Each bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe. The bathrooms in this vast home are en-suite, finished with underfloor heating, luxury sanitary ware, and marble. Even the bathrooms come complete with robes, towels and the obligatory Sonos surround sound in each and every room.
The luxurious converted two-bedroom en-suite guest cottage, in the same neutral and luxurious colour palette. Substantial in size the guest house has an open plan kitchen and a sitting room with a romantic Juliet balcony that overlooks the grounds and swimming pool. Next to the pool, there is also a self-contained pool house which contains a full kitchen, changing and shower facilities with inbuilt Sonos to the exterior walls making for fun pool parties. The pool itself has been completely refurbished with new contemporary lighting. The lawned garden offers uninterrupted sea views to France and access to the cliff paths which lead directly down to Bonne Nuit Bay.
