Houses
The
buildings are good examples of different styles of Jersey architecture,
as they are from different centuries.
 |
| The
kitchen |
The
architecture of the Langlois house is similar to that in medieval
Brittany. The rooms below were used for the livestock, whilst the
rooms above were for the family.
The
Hamptonne house was extended and transformed a number of times.
A second storey was added in the 16th century, and another two-storey
extension was built at the end of the 17th century.
The
Syvret house was built on the site during the 1830's. It is the
most recent house on the site. The rooms are extremely high, and
are typical of the large houses built in St. Helier at the time.
Outbuildings
 |
| The
washhouse |
Farm
outbuildings became more important during the 19th century, as they
were converted into amenities for the farmers and their families.
The
northern yard was created in the late 19th century. It contained
stables, a carriage house, a bakehouse, a washhouse, farm-labourers'
accommodation and an open shed.
