The Estate
Restoring Hollybank.
The largest equine estate in Jersey, quiet for twenty years. A two-to-three-year restoration, lived on site, shared as it happens.
By the numbers.
An honest restoration.
When the keys were handed over, the arena had vanished under twenty years of grass. The stables stood, but the doors had warped, the gutters had gone, and the courtyard had become moss.
We are not pretending it is finished. We are working on it, in public, and we are selling the dream ahead of time, because the dream is what funds the next phase. Every render you see is a promise, and every photograph from the site is the receipt.
The goal is a working estate that earns its keep: stables, indoor school, paddocks, a small market garden, beehives, and a guest cottage. Quietly luxurious. Properly equine. Built to last another hundred years.
Before / after
The same courtyard, two years apart.
The vision
What Hollybank becomes.
The masterplan, drawn with our architects. Conservative on the bones, ambitious on the use.
- Sixteen restored loose boxes in the main yard
- Indoor arena and outdoor sand school
- All-weather paddocks and turnout
- Walled market garden and beehives
- Two guest cottages for visiting riders
- Quiet event space, by invitation
Life on a building site
We live here while we build.
Boots by the door, dust on the bookshelf, a horse in the next field. We share the build as it happens, the leaks, the breakthroughs, and the moments where it briefly looks finished.
