Mouriaux House is Alderney’s premier residence and is steeped in island history and royal connections. Built in 1779 with the proceeds of privateering by the Le Mesuriers, Alderney’s last hereditary governors, it was also the home of its first President Toby Herivel. Situated in an elevated position in the heart of St Annes, this magnificent Georgian townhouse has been restored to the highest quality in a manner suitable for modern living, whilst maintaining its period charm and character. The Georgian granite façade and grand entrance hall establish the importance of the house.

The property extends to approximately 8000 sq feet. With 5 reception rooms, six en suite bedrooms and an adjoining 2 bed cottage, Mouriaux House is suited for an elegant and comfortable lifestyle and entertaining on a grand scale. Indeed many royal receptions have been held at Mouriaux House, with royal visitors including Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth the second.

The stunning and spacious contemporary bespoke kitchen has been designed both from the perspective of a chef and with comfortable family living in mind, and opens into the stylish and modern dining room. High grade premium ivory limestone flooring complements the feeling of light and space and the family room is located adjacently.

The two connected drawing rooms and formal study bear tribute to the house’s classic Georgian elegance, and contain impressive classical fireplaces. Many original features such as windows, shutters and doors remain and have been skilfully renovated.

Six en-suite bedrooms provide sumptuous accommodation including the Governor’s suite and the President’s suite. Individual bathrooms include iconic contemporary luxury.

A splendid balcony overlooks the large private garden, and catches the afternoon and early evening sun.

A unique house with a unique history, Mouriaux House is Alderney’s Jewel in the Crown.
