Nearby

Nearest match in each category, from a fixed list of Guernsey amenities — not every pub, café or shop on the island, so treat this as a useful sample, not a complete picture. Distances are straight-line ("as the crow flies"), multiplied by 1.3 to approximate real road-network distance — this is an estimate, not turn-by-turn routing, and actual walking/driving routes may differ. Times assume constant average speeds appropriate to Guernsey's roads and 25/35mph limits: walking 4.5 km/h, cycling 14 km/h, driving 30 km/h — not open-road speeds, and they don't account for traffic, parking or terrain.

Telecoms masts nearby

The nearest licensed mast site is 813 m away in a straight line — not walking distance, and not necessarily visible from the property. From the Guernsey Competition and Regulatory Authority’s mast audit register, read 2026-08-23.

What this does and does not tell you

It does not say which masts carry 5G. The regulator’s register records the operators, the height, the structure and the measured emissions — it records no radio technology, so this site cannot identify a 5G site and does not guess. 5G reached Guernsey in early 2026 and the first sites were in and around St Peter Port.

The emission figures are the regulator’s own measurements, expressed as a percentage of the ICNIRP international public exposure guideline. Across all 91 sites in the Bailiwick the median reading is 0.176% of that guideline and the highest is 11.24%. This site reports those numbers and draws no conclusion from them either way; the GCRA publishes the full audit for each site.

What would improving it be worth?

Value added is the extra floor area priced at £8,475/m² — the midpoint asking price per m² among 8 Castel properties currently for sale that publish a floor area. Cost uses real Guernsey build rates: £4,000–£6,000/m² new build and £2,000–£4,000/m² refurbishment, depending on quality. Net is against the mid rate. The last column is how often Guernsey actually grants that kind of application.

Read this as an order of magnitude, not a promise

Two things it cannot see. First, it prices floor area at the local average rate — it doesn't know your plot, your roof, your outlook, or whether an extension is physically possible; nor whether your street has a ceiling price that no amount of extending beats. Second, the rate comes from asking prices of other properties currently for sale, because Guernsey's sold register records no floor areas at all — so it reflects what sellers ask, not what buyers paid.

The obvious alternative method is worse, which is why it isn't used here: comparing a typical 3-bed with a typical 4-bed suggests a bedroom is worth around £430,000 island-wide. It isn't — a 4-bed is generally a bigger house on a bigger plot, so that figure measures the mix of what's for sale, not the value of adding a room.

Before spending anything, get a builder's quote and talk to an architect — who is actually filing applications shows which firms are active and how often their applications succeed.

Matched by house name/street and parish against the States of Guernsey property register — not a unique-ID lookup, so a shared house name could span more than one property. The "2026 prices" column carries each price forward at the island-wide repeat-sales index — it is what that sum of money would be at today's market level, not a valuation of this property, and it takes no account of the condition it was in then or any work done since.
