Country house for sale in Herberts Mill, Herberts Village, Antigua And Barbuda

One of the few remaining colonial plantation houses, dating back to the 18th Century

Substantially constructed on stone walls over two feet thick to the lower floor with a classic plantation style timber upper floor including all the period wood paneling and mahogany floors.

The house presents a fabulous opportunity for renovation and/or re-purposing.

Standing on a hill top set in 3 acres of tropical gardens with mature flamboyant's, palms and fruit trees, with many shaded leafy glades.

The house has a substantial lower floor originally designed as storage but with potential for further accommodation, one part already having been converted to a small apartment.

The main floor comprises a 49' long great room, kitchen, 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. The great room is surrounded on three sides by a veranda enjoying cooling tradewind breezes. A shaded deck off the kitchen at the rear also serves as a double car port.

Although fundamentally sound and with a new roof, the house is in need of some updating and renovation and could be used either as a unique single family home or converted to a boutique hotel or spa resort with the potential to add holiday cottages in the grounds.

Located in the centre of the island, nowhere more than 15 to 20 minutes drive, and some of the finest white sand beaches in the Caribbean.
