History and location:

St. Helier is an older house built in 1928 by Martin and Phyllis Godet, the parents of the current owners, and has been lovingly renovated over the last 20 years to provide an up to date home with modern facilities.

The house is situated on the corner of Middle and Chapel Road in Paget, and is close to the bus stop to Hamilton on Middle Road, and Hodgson Ferry stop (Pink Route) just off Harbour Road, at the other end of Chapel Road. It is a ten minute walk to Elbow Beach along the tribe road, which is just on the other side of Middle Road. Elbow Beach is one of the prettiest beaches in Bermuda, and for a small charge members of the public can rent beach equipment from the rental shop of the Elbow Beach Hotel.

There are restaurants within easy walking distance of St. Helier, and there is a supermarket just down the road, and a pharmacy and post office also nearby.

The Grounds

The attractively designed swimming pool has been built in an old Bermuda stone quarry, with careful landscaping and surrounded by a wooden fence, and wooden gates to provide a safe environment for young children.

The large garden has mature flowering trees, many varieties of fruit trees and local endemic plants. There are flower beds, a bank of wild freesias, and jonquils in the spring, a vegetable garden and two banana patches.
