Geocache Description:


Petits Hiboux is located in St Lawrence

The oldest date stone is 1694 on the front part of the house above the hay loft door. In 1822 the cottage under went a refurbishment and a date stone above the door went up.

The present owners bought the derilict property in 2002 and completed renovated it

This was a major project, and due to the angle of the roof they knew it must have been thatched at some point, but they had to convince planning!

Now the property is quite extensive with a beautiful Norman thatch topped with a lime render - the only thatch in Jersey to be the correct type.

Take a look around the back of the property and see the dragon on top of the roof and the inscription in the wall 'Give us the tools and we'll finish the job - Winston Churchill' which was in honour of the builder.
