Coastal Living

Coastal Living

There’s something distinctly beachy, airy, bright, and natural about Les Oliviers – a contemporary coastal home, positioned just a stone’s throwaway from the picturesque Grouville Bay.

 

Set in a highly sought after neighbourhood, directly on the sea front, with views spanning as far as Mont Orgueil and the French Coast, this seafaring family residence provides a home of unusual excellence. Constructed in 2005, inside, you’ll find a range of `state of the art` fixtures and fittings, all of which have been designed with a rigorous eye and scrupulous attention to detail.

Bright white and natural wood details create an inviting summer space – a perfect contrast to the living room – which has been enlivened with punches of turquoise and duck egg blue in reflection to the surrounding area’s beach-loving lifestyle. Floor to ceiling shuttered windows open up onto the outdoor expanse, which boasts direct access to the bay and beyond, making Les Oliviers an ideal home for alfresco entertaining, with the ocean inspired garden acting as an extension of the ample living space.

Inspired by the sea, calming colours run throughout, mixed with elements that really bring the property to life – such as original light features, polished hardwood flooring and a range of custom-made book display and storage cabinets. Circular gable windows nod to a nautical theme, whilst the remainder of the property comes together in a wash of pastels, creams and contemporary woods.

Current appliances put a chic spin on the Mark Wilkinson farmhouse-esq kitchen, which boasts polished black granite worktops throughout, a handy island unit (perfect for casual breakfasts) and picture-perfect windows that open out onto the magnificent views, garden and paved deck area.

To keep things simple (so as to not distract from Les Olivier’s gorgeous outlook), each of the bedrooms have been sympathetically styled in neutral shades. Both the principle and second bedroom boast panoramic sea views and large luxury en suites, whilst the master bed is home to a dressing lobby complete with an extensive range of built in wardrobes and a private balcony – the perfect place to unwind after a hard day in the office, from where you can watch the sun melt into the ocean.

Additionally, Les Oliviers is home to a spacious, well-lit landing area, brandishing oodles of storage space, a further three bedrooms, house bathroom, a large study and what was once an artist’s studio complete with painting store.

A blend of stylish slumber-worthy spaces make up this modern-day, relaxing beach house – which emanates the soothing powers of simplicity from the inside out – even the attractive landscaped garden has been designed to compliment the area’s Oceanside environment. This pale and peaceful property will not only make a fine family home, but an elegant oceanfront retreat.
