Martello House offers the ultimate in luxury living. With its beautiful curved lines that echo those of a Martello tower, this is a substantial, elegant property with 9,634 sq. ft. of living space. It is perfect both for family life and for entertaining on a grand scale.
Occupying a prime position on the crest of a ridge in Lancaster, St James, this magnificent home has stunning panoramic views right across to the West Coast. The inland location gives Martello House both seclusion and tranquility yet Holetown, with a great selection of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars is a mere 5 minutes’ drive away.
Leading Caribbean architects, Gillespie and Steel, have designed Martello House so that you can enjoy open air living to the full. This open plan design, which makes the most of its generous living spaces, allows the cooling trade winds to flow throughout the property.
All five bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, air conditioning and elegantly-appointed en-suite bathrooms. In addition to the large, comfortable lounge and dining areas, there is also a spacious covered terrace, TV room, study, media room and state-of-the-art kitchen as well as a housekeeper’s quarters.
As you would expect from a house of this caliber, there are stone polished floors throughout and a striking, large-span cedar shingle roof.
If you’re looking for a little entertainment, Martello House never fails to impress with a fully-outfitted Pub featuring all the traditional pub like games such as pool, darts, and bar billiards. But if you’re looking for an alternative form of relaxation, Martello House has a sauna and steam room, as well as an outdoor hot tub.
Sipping evening cocktails overlooking the wraparound, infinity-edge pool, you and your guests can enjoy watching the vibrant colours of a beautiful Caribbean sunset and once the sun goes down the impressive lighting system brings the grounds to life, creating a unique atmospheric glow all around you. Martello House also features a temperature and humidity-controlled cellar with bespoke-design wine racks, with storage for 2,000 bottles. So much more than storage, this wine cellar provides another entertaining area where can host wine tasting.
This is truly an outstanding luxury house in one of the finest locations on the whole of Barbados.
