Overview:
Highgate House is an exquisite two-storey property of immense cultural significance, duly acknowledged by the Barbados government in 1987. This architectural marvel offers a breathtaking panoramic sea views of the magnificent Carlisle Bay and the stunning coastline. Built circa 1767 as an integral part of the Island's signal station system, the exact date of its construction remains shrouded in mystery. Historians, however, vouch for its heritage value and attest to its historical relevance and it was also in President George Washington's diary, where he mentions accepting an invitation to stay at the home.. A sumptuous living space of 5,979 sq.ft awaits you, comprising 5 lavish bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This stately edifice has been meticulously maintained, with the classic Georgian features skillfully blended with a contemporary touch. Set on 1.14 acres of pristine land that slopes gently down the ravine beside the property, Highgate House is a stunning sight to behold. Crown holdings adorn the ceilings, and the large sash windows flood the home with natural light, lending it an ethereal charm.
