Seafield House Sunday 28th June 2026

 

This unique Regency Greek revival villa was built in 1809 by a leading Jersey merchant, whose ships were engaged in the cod trade between Newfoundland and Brazil.  Cream teas will be served on the lawn below the house with a view to the extensive garden of island beds, framed by a massive pair of Canary Island Date palms.  The immaculate walled garden full of roses, cutting flowers and vegetables leads onto further exotic plants, trees and secret garden areas.  a rare chance to visit this green oasis usually hidden by towering Pines, Evergreen Oaks, Arbutus, Camellia and the oldest and largest Black Poplar in Jersey, still standing through decades of storms!
