St James, Carlton, Barbados

Design villa with a pool set on more than half an acre of grounds, ideally located on the West Platinum Coast

This splendid property is conveniently located in Carlton View, a quiet, upmarket family area, perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the West Coast restaurants, bars, golf courses, and beaches.

The home's style combines European luxury with outdoor Caribbean lifestyles. Elevated and West-facing, the villa has been designed by a British Architectural Design team to maximise the spectacular panoramic sea views and the constant fresh breeze.

The property is surrounded by landscaped raised gardens ensuring excellent privacy, large terraces ideal for entertaining, and features a 46-ft pool. The driveway, accessed through electric gates, offers ample parking and leads to a garage with a Hormann electric door and a stylish main entrance.

From here, the hallway leads to a vast open-plan indoor-outdoor living space with large sliding doors looking onto a deep terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning view over the pool and gardens to the ocean and the beautiful Bajan sunset.

Along with the main kitchen, there is also a chef's kitchen and an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ. On this same floor, there is a sea view bedroom suite with a private terrace and a luxury bathroom, a media room, two powder rooms, an office, and a utility room.

The lower floor houses four bedroom suites, each with a bathroom and a dressing area all opening out through sliding doors onto a large covered terrace, the pool deck, and the secluded gardens. Two of these suites also have their own private terraces opening out from the bedroom and the bathroom, allowing complete privacy. All five bedrooms can be set up as King size/ UK Super King, with two rooms having the option of twin beds.

The main garden at the front is surrounded by lush plants and trees, and there is also a side lawn of 18x10 m set out as a games area for volleyball, badminton, etc., and a refreshing 'wet' sunken seating area next to the pool.

With consideration given to the environment, ventilation has been achieved throughout using aluminum-framed adjustable louvre windows and vents, planned to reduce the need for air conditioning. Four store rooms help make this a practical home and also an ideal holiday rental property. Additionally, there is an equipped air-conditioned gym just off the side garden.
