Fronting an exquisite beach along a tranquil cove, Cove Spring House
enjoys a splendid seaside setting amid the beautiful sandy beaches on the
western coastline of Barbados.
One of only four homes in an enclave known as The Garden, the estate
presides over one and one-third acres of lushly landscaped tropical
grounds, majestic palms and mature mahogany trees. A lily pond with a
fountain highlights the stately porte cochere. Alongside the elegantly
arcing swimming pool with waterfall Jacuzzi spa, an expansive seaside
terrace commands breathtaking views along the coastline towards the
prestigious Royal Pavilion and Glitter Bay Hotels.
Complementing this outstanding site, the stately Colonial-style
residence has been impeccably designed by Robertson Ward Associates for
gracious living and entertaining. Elegantly detailed and superbly scaled,
the newly built main house and separate guest cottage together provide
more than 18,000 square feet including ten bedrooms.
In the main residence, natural coral stone is highlighted throughout
the spacious, light-filled principal rooms, all featuring high ceilings
and large windows, framing captivating views overlooking the Caribbean
Sea. On the main floor, the grand foyer opens to the seaside terrace and
elegant stair hall of coral stone with ornate wrought iron railing leading
to the upper level. The formal living room and dining room seating ten
both feature fan lighted French doors opening to the terrace running the
length of the villa. A study adjoins.
The kitchen offers granite work tops, custom cabinetry and top-of-the
line appliances including a sub-zero refrigerator and deep freeze, two
ovens, cook top, microwave, dishwater, ice maker, and four standing glass
fronted chillers. Adjacent are a pantry, storage room, and two staff rooms
with bath.
Off the foyer, a gallery leads to a powder room and exercise room with
large screen TV with satellite, bath, steam shower and adjoining
courtyard. Two bedrooms feature walk-in closets, king size beds, private
baths, and French doors to the terrace. All bathrooms have glass enclosed
showers and single vanities.
Up the stairs and opening to a seaside terrace, the extensive master
suite is comprised of a large bedroom with a four poster canopy king size
bed, dressing room, steam shower, double vanity and luxurious Jacuzzi
bath. Two additional bedrooms feature walk-in closets, private baths, and
French doors to the terrace. The residence is served by a security system,
intercoms, three fax machines, three bedroom safes, central air
conditioning, a stand-by generator, several water storage tanks, water
filtration, a water softener system, solar hot water, and central vacuum
system.
Decorated in a classic style, the two story guest cottage includes a
foyer with powder room, a great room with terrace, a kitchen with laundry,
two bedrooms with baths, and an upstairs master suite with a queen size
four poster bed, dressing room, double vanity, bath, and terrace. In the
guest cottage, all bathrooms have showers only.
