Residence
Passing through the entrance gates of the property one enters a large circular forecourt built of smooth river stones and well shaded with trees. The main house is located on the north east side of the forecourt with the north west side occupied by a garage and extensive staff quarters. On one side of the entrance gates there is a gatekeeper’s house with a bedroom and bathroom en suite.
• The front door of the main house opens in to an entrance foyer leading to the living room which in turn opens on to extensive covered terraces giving the feeling of indoor/outdoor living which is so much a part of Jamaican life. There is a powder room off the living room.
On the right of the entrance foyer a breezeway leads to the bedroom wing. This consists of a master suite with a large bedroom and two bathrooms en suite and three further bedrooms with bathrooms en suite. Each bedroom opens out on to its own covered terrace.
Near the bedroom wing of the main house there is a crescent shaped swimming pool with a pool cabana and a bar area together with two more bedrooms with bathrooms en suite, each in its own separate building.
To the left of the living area there is an elegant octagonal dining room with French windows opening on to the covered terrace on one side and to the lawn on the other side. There is a recently renovated kitchen with all stainless steel equipment and an extensive pantry area.
