Dunscombe House

Description

This beautiful example of historic Barbados real estate is now ready for the next stage with the right owners. Originally constructed in the 1700s as the plantation manager’s home, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom house is situated on just over an acre in the lush St Thomas countryside. Keeping most of the original construction, the current owners have extensively restored the property over the last ten years, bringing it back to life with a traditional feel, ready for modern upgrades.

Offering approximately 4,000 square feet of living space, with hardwood floors and high ceilings, there is no doubt of the home's traditional theme. The interior features an open plan kitchen, informal living room / TV room. The uniquely styled sitting room is ideal for formal entertaining, and the screened patio, overlooking a small courtyard and garden can serve as a dining room and casual entertaining area. A corridor leads to the guest bathroom, laundry room and out to the courtyard. The first of three very spacious bedrooms is set in a private corner of the ground floor, while the other two take up the majority of the first floor. All the bedrooms have private en-suite bathrooms. With its view of the expansive lawn, the south facing patio is a great place to relax.

The home has a two-car garage and is fully enclosed. A well-maintained garden and huge lawn enhance the sense of calm and serenity of the area. Situated along the central ridge of the island, there is a constant Atlantic breeze coming over the surrounding hills.

Dunscombe, despite its rural location is only ten minutes away from the commercial centers at Warrens and Holetown. West coast and east coast beaches are also within easy reach.
