One Caribbean Estates proudly presents Bulkeley Great House, an elegant 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom historic estate spanning over 10,000 sq. ft. with adjoining 6,500 sq. ft. air-conditioned offices. This remarkable large estate for sale, previously home to Sir William Bulkeley, a member of Parliament in 1651, has housed numerous prominent Barbadian families while retaining its old-world charm. The estate includes a separate 1-bedroom guest cottage and outbuildings, formerly stables, bringing the total covered area to approximately 17,500 sq. ft.

This large estate for sale is situated on nearly 8 acres of mature grounds, including 4 acres of landscaped gardens with magnificent old trees.

The estate’s traditional covered patio has been thoughtfully extended to encompass a large, free-form swimming pool designed to mimic a natural pond. This pool, complete with gently cascading waterfalls and a “sand-finished” bottom that blends into a faux shore  – the pool’s naturalistic design contribute to a serene and visually stunning environment, unmatched by any other on the island. Additionally, the renovated outbuildings adjacent to the main plantation house, have been transformed into modern offices, maintaining a mews-effect and blending historical elegance with contemporary functionality.

Features:

The main house features an impressive double staircase that leads to the main entrance and front porch. Upon entering, the main hallway guides you past large reception rooms and into a spacious kitchen with access to the rear courtyard and gardens. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, living room, sitting room, dining room, office area, kitchen, powder room, and patio with a covered rear courtyard area. On the first floor, you will discover four elegantly appointed bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with antique touches and featuring its own ensuite bathroom. The master bedroom offers a luxurious ensuite, while Bedroom 2 and Bedroom 3 each boast their own private ensuites. Bedroom 4 shares access to a beautifully designed family bathroom, and there is also an additional powder room for convenience. The property also includes offices and outbuildings.

Meticulously maintained and improved by the current owners, Bulkeley Great House is a rare Barbadian treasure. Despite the passage of time, it retains its enchanting old-world charm, characterized by thick coral stone walls, superb period arches, large stately rooms, and gorgeous wooden floors.

Location:

Approximately 6 miles east of Bridgetown and 3 miles inland from the airport, located in the heart of the St. George Valley, known as “the breadbasket” of the island for its fertile sugar cane production. Bulkeley Great House is one of the most attractive and impressive great houses in Barbados.
