La Falaise

La Falaise is a substantial Guernsey farmhouse set high on the south coast cliffs overlooking Petit Bôt valley. A series of unsympathetic additions had left the property disjointed, prompting a full remodelling to restore its traditional character and harmony with the landscape.

The historic farmhouse was re-thatched to reinstate its original appearance, while the distinctive entrance archway — likely salvaged from another property — was sensitively reincorporated into the main elevation. Its slightly proud position in the wall ensures that this later addition remains legible to future generations.

The result is a farmhouse once again worthy of its commanding coastal setting. A later phase introduced a discreet swimming pool and gym, designed with a hidden entrance to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape.
