Property Description

“Dunloe Cottage” is a beautiful, quaint structure offering 6 bedrooms with 3.5 bathrooms. This property is located within a “family” compound and considered convenient as it provides access to many areas of Barbados. Located within walking distance to public transportation, it is still off the beaten track and gives one the community feeling with a country air about it. Fully enclosed, this well maintained property is approximately 70 years old, is a combined wooden and wall home of which modifications have been carried out ten years ago. The lower level of this “traditional” home boasts of having a lovely covered patio towards the East and South of the property. The living and dining areas have access to these galleries via three, double jalousie doors. Towards the West of the property is the first bedroom which has its own private entrance and is just off the dining area. Two bedrooms are towards the East of the property of which one has its own private covered terrace and entrance, the other is towards the North East. The main bathroom with shower is located along the hallway between these two bedrooms with interconnecting doors. The fourth bedroom is on the Western side of the home, across from the bathroom. There is a powder room conveniently located towards the North West of the property and just before one gets to the impressive kitchen area. This kitchen area is spacious and has been at the heart of commercial activity previously. To add to this, there is another “prep” or enterprising area and laundry just off the main kitchen. Access to the backyard and its developing green space is via two doors from the kitchen spaces. Centrally located within this cottage is a lovely lounge and a loft office, ideal for those busy entrepreneurs or students. The upper level of this property has two apartments, both equipped with kitchens, bathrooms and covered balcony overlooking the grounds below towards the North. These two apartments can be rented individually or as a whole. There is also an interconnecting door to the loft office of the main house from one of the apartments. In essence – one has access to each space should one desire. Sitting on 11,855 sq.ft. of land, there are many trees to enjoy including breadfruit, mango and guava. It is within walking distance to the beautiful Bayshore Beach which is down the gap and across the road. Imagine walking the beach and having a sea bath before breakfast! Bridgetown and its many amenities are within walking distance. Truly a lovely Barbadian style property at its best. Traditional craftsmanship, wooden floors, high ceilings are only a few of the features that add to a warm and inviting home. The property is being sold semi-furnished and it is a gem of a property.
