  • Property Description

    Nestled amidst more than 3 acres of expansive grounds, this charming historic plantation home is accessed through private gates at the end of a winding unmarked road.  Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens, with mature mahogany and flowering tropical trees, and bordered on one side by a gully, Bellevue Estate offers wonderful glimpses of a bygone era combined with modern conveniences for today's busy lifestyle.

    Built in the early 1700's and first named Anton Hall, the original Georgian structure still stands and has been lovingly restored to preserve its historical character, retaining many of the traditional Barbadian-style features including thick coral stone walls, a combination of stone and wooden floors, sash windows and shutters, as well as pickled wood tray ceilings.

    From the shaded driveway, the classic dual stairway leads up to an impressive entrance hall and the formal living room.  A large wrap-around verandah with several sitting areas affords a variety of views over the property, while a casual sitting area overlooks the striking swimming pool.

    The master suite, along with three guest suites are also located on this level, each featuring polished wooden floors and high tray ceilings.  Three of these open to balconies with lovely garden views or enticing glimpses of the sea.

    A central mahogany stairway leads down to the former cellar which has been delightfully transformed to accommodate a spacious family room with a unique floor mosaic, a study and a large modern kitchen. The formal dining room opens through arched doorways to a second wrap-around verandah where an additional dining area and a bar can be found.  Another two guest suites are also situated at this level.

    A charming cottage can be found across the courtyard.  Completely self-contained, with two guest suites, open plan living/dining and a fully equipped kitchen area, all opening to full length verandahs, your guests can be as private as they desire in this little hideaway.  Additional outbuildings include the laundry and staff facilities and the porter's and storage rooms positioned by the entrance gates.

    The verdant grounds featuring expansive lawns with a lily pond tucked away in one corner, together with a spacious pool terrace, offer ample opportunities for entertaining and outdoor activities to complement and elegant lifestyle.

    Bellevue Estate is centrally located, ideally situated close to all commercial areas and a short drive to west and south coast beaches.  The Barbados Yacht Club and the Holders Polo Club are also a short distance away.
