Clinketts Gardens No.5, "Zen Cottage"

Experience life in this quiet tenantry setting of Clinketts Gardens, St. Lucy.  “Zen Cottage” as it is fondly named, brings that feeling of being relaxed and peaceful.  It was the vision of its current owner, but with a twist.  This traditional Barbadian home sits on nearly 3,000 sq.ft. of land, is a self-contained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom combination wood and wall dwelling.  “Zen Cottage” is walking distance to a major bus route, a general store and our lovely west coast beach with our majestic ocean to enjoy.  The home has been updated/modified and now considered unique, as it boasts of a nautical / industrial flair in its outfitting, including the use of raw beams and roof work married with a sprinkler cooling system.  On entering the home, one notices the combined light and airy ambiance with that of the industrial touch of a dark roof, ceiling fans with lights and internal fire protection sprinkler system.   The open plan living and dining area faces the West where there is a double wooden door with side windows, and towards the North, several push out wooden and glass windows, allowing for the natural air flow to penetrate the dwelling – this space is comfortable and finished with wooden floor and rattan window shades.  The first of the bedrooms is currently being used as an office – this is located to the South West of the property, also has a ceiling fan and push out windows – ideal for those who want to work remotely.  Just off the dining area is the Master bedroom – this space has a combination of wood and concrete.  There is an open closet and several push out windows.  Towards the North-East of the property, and a few steps away from the dining area is the modern kitchen with owner-built countertops and cabinetry – including a breakfast bar and the roller utility chest and cutting board.  The kitchen is concrete in its build and finished with a double farmer sink, a 30-inch gas stove and stainless-steel fridge.  The bathroom with shower is conveniently located along the hallway to the “Back door” and off the kitchen.  From the “back door” one enters into the enclosed, private space used for entertaining, exercising or simply relaxing under the 8 x 8 pop-up gazebo tent, or, in the outdoor single person stock tank pool /cowboy pool with shower after that hard day at work. “Zen Cottage” also has a crawl cellar, a backup water supply with major water filer system, plus back-up power for the whole house.  Towards the North is a wooden deck and an area where the Zen garden was to the South.
