AT HOME WITH
Owners Katie Brasher and husband James, who works in finance. They have three teenage children.
House Built in 1880 for a wealthy Victorian merchant. The couple bought the property in 2019.
When Katie and James Brasher first entered what was to become their permanent home on Jersey, they discovered a view they wanted to build their lives around. From its vantage point on the hill, the house looks out over a sweeping lawn to Mont Orgueil Castle on the coast and France in the distance.
'We'd rented two other properties on Jersey but when our landlord decided to sell we felt we couldn't live with the uncertainty anymore, Katie explains. 'James was just back from a business trip to Australia and I'd lined up some houses for us to view. This was the last property we visited and even though he was jet-lagged, James was excited by it and we both had the feeling this was the one.
