Sausmarez Manor, Historic manor house in Saint Martin, Guernsey
Sausmarez Manor is a granite building that combines Tudor, Queen Anne, and Victorian architectural styles into a single layered structure. The grounds include extensive gardens, a sculpture park, and recreational facilities for families.
First documented in 1117, the property remained under the control of the Sausmarez family across many generations. Its architecture reflects different building phases from medieval times through the Victorian era.
A modern sculpture park spreads across the grounds with contemporary artworks displayed among subtropical plants and traditional buildings. The collection invites visitors to experience art within the landscape.
The estate is easy to reach on foot or by car and spreads across relatively flat terrain, making it accessible for most visitors. Plan to spend two or three hours exploring the house, gardens, and sculpture displays.
The property operates Guernsey's only railway system, taking visitors on train rides through the grounds. This small train experience is an unusual feature for a private estate.
