Carlton, St James, Barbados

A stunning contemporary 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom villa set in more than half an acre of grounds, ideally located on the West 'Platinum' coast of Barbados. Carlton View is a quiet, upmarket family area, perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the West Coast's restaurants, bars, golf courses, and beaches.

Elevated and West-facing, the villa has been designed to maximize the spectacular panoramic sea views, the constant fresh breeze, and is just a 10-minute walk from the beach.

Designed by a British Architectural Design team with experience in building high-end property in the UK and living in Barbados, the home's style ideally combines luxury European and outdoor Caribbean lifestyles.

With elegant style and luxury in mind, and finished to a high specification, the spacious 7,500 sq. ft (697 sq. m.) undercover accommodation, with a practical layout, makes this villa ideal as both a fabulous family home and a rental property aimed at a group of friends or a large family.

The villa is surrounded by beautifully landscaped raised gardens, ensuring privacy and providing a serene atmosphere. Expansive terraces offer ample space for entertaining, complemented by a stunning 46-ft saltwater pool. Just off the pool, a recently constructed gazebo serves as an additional outdoor room, featuring a breezy, covered space equipped with a TV and a swing seat. From here, guests can relax while enjoying views of the pool and the ocean.

The driveway, through electric gates, has ample parking and leads to a garage with a Hormann electric door and the stylish main entrance. From here, the hallway leads through to the vast open-plan indoor-outdoor living space, which instantly displays amazing ocean views, through large sliding doors and onto the deep terrace where there are varied options for relaxing and dining, 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 chefs' kitchen and an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ. On this floor, there is a bedroom suite with a private terrace which, along with the luxury bathroom, share a fabulous sea view. There is also a media room, 2 powder rooms, an office, and a utility room. The lower floor has 4-bedroom suites, each having a bathroom and a dressing area. Each room opens out through sliding doors onto a large covered terrace, the pool deck, and the secluded gardens. Two of these suites each also have their own private terrace opening out from the bedroom and the bathroom, allowing complete privacy. All 5 bedrooms can be set up as King size (UK Super King), with 2 rooms having the option of twin beds. There is seamless WiFi throughout the entire house and a Bose system. The upper terrace includes electric sunscreens across all three areas, offering shade from the afternoon sun and enhancing comfort during warmer hours.

The main garden to the front is surrounded by lush plants and trees. There is also a side lawn of 18m x 10m set out as a games area for volleyball, badminton, etc. A refreshing 'wet' sunken seating area next to the pool adds another relaxation area. With consideration given to the environment, ventilation has been achieved throughout using aluminum-framed adjustable louver windows and vents, planned to reduce the need for air-conditioning. Four storerooms help make this a practical home, and also an ideal holiday rental property. There is also an equipped air-conditioned gym just off the side garden.

The property has been in the rental market for a year and has achieved a positive net return, exceeding expectations in its first year. This exceptional performance highlights its potential as a fantastic investment opportunity.
