With far-reaching views across the Azure Sea, this spectacular family home on the picturesque island of Jersey maximises its breathtaking setting. Because the outdoors is such an important aspect of the house, special attention was paid to the exterior. The beautifully landscaped grounds include a terrace, pool and jacuzzi area clad with our classic Wychwood limestone in a tumbled and etched finish.

Wychwood is an alluring natural grey-fawn stone, with subtle fossil markings that enhance its character, providing a timeless and elegant aesthetic. It is also an extremely practical stone as its low-slip properties ensure it is ideal for external paving, making it the perfect choice all round. The indoor outdoor feel was continued with a version of Wychwood suitable for interiors continued into the kitchen.
